Stop politicians from using pulpits to abuse people, Fubara tells church

Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, has called on religious bodies, particularly the Anglican Churches to stop allowing politicians, including him, from using their pulpits to abuse others.
  
Fubara said: “Let me also appeal to all the religious bodies in this state; please your pulpit should be a place to talk about progress and the unity of Rivers State people. 
  
“It should not be yielded to people to cast aspersions or abuse others, saying all sorts of things. And it is worrisome that it is in the house of God. I appeal to you. I can say that it is not experienced in the Catholic Church, but worse in my church, the Anglican Church, with due respect. You need to stop it, including myself or any other person.”
 
Fubara spoke yesterday at the Interdenominational Thanksgiving Mass in commemoration of the 2025 Armed Forces Remembrance Day.  The governor said his administration would no longer dissipate its energy remembering only fallen heroes and their dependants but would lay emphasis on the living, who continued to survive because of deliberate government policies and efforts of good people in the state.
