…urges INEC to guarantee level playing field, voters to obtain PVCs
By Chinedu Adonu
ENUGU — The Anglican Church, Enugu Diocese, has faulted the Federal Government over the prolonged delay in completing the Eastern Rail Line (Port Harcourt–Maiduguri) project, describing the neglect as detrimental to the South-East’s economy and the welfare of Nigerians.
The Church, rising from its 3rd session of the 19th Synod, also raised concerns over the political atmosphere ahead of the 2026 elections, calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure a level playing field for all political parties and candidates to safeguard the credibility of the polls.
In a communiqué signed by the Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Rt. Rev. Prof. Samuel Obiajulu Ike, Prof. Offornze Amucheazi, Rev. Canon Dr. Ifeanyi Agu and H/H Paulson Egbo, the Synod lamented that the Eastern Rail Line had remained a “pipe dream” despite repeated promises by successive governments.
