We Will Not Accept Anambra Man As Anglican Bishop of Enugu Diocese – Worshippers 


The election of Ven. Prof. Sam Ike, an Anambra man, as the new Bishop of Enugu Diocese has sparked widespread outrage and protests.


The election, which took place on Aug. 13, 2024, in Abuja, has been rejected by the indigenes of Enugu state, who claim that the process was unfair and did not reflect the will of the people.


According to a petition written by Kingsley Okah, a justice advocate, on behalf of the people of Enugu, the election outcome is a clear indication of the church’s insensitivity and disregard for fairness and justice.


The petition alleged that Ven. Prof. Ike is a puppet of the retired Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, who was allegedly accused of issues during his tenure in Enugu.


This development comes years after Bishop Peter Okpaleke from Anambra state was rejected by the Ahiala Diocese of the Catholic Church in Imo state.


The protesters argued that the Anglican Church has consistently marginalized the people of Enugu, citing the fact that the first bishop of Enugu was from Anambra, and the immediate past bishop was from Asaba.


The petition demanded that the church hierarchy revisit the election outcome, citing the need for fairness and justice.


It also threatened to explore legal means to assert their rights and borrow strategies from the Catholic Diocese of Ahiara, which successfully rejected Okpaleke.


Okpaleke was later appointed Bishop of Ekwulobia, in Anambra State and made Cardinal by Pope Francis


The Enugu controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling on the church to address the concerns of the Enugu indigenes and ensure fairness and justice in its decision-making processes.
