The Catholic Diocese of Port Harcourt, Most Rev. Patrick Eluke
The Catholic Diocese of Port Harcourt, Most Rev. Patrick Eluke, has called on political office holders to use their positions to make peace and protect the most vulnerable in society.
He spoke at the burial of Mrs Dame Amaechi, the mother of former Rivers State governor and vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday.
In his homily at the burial in Ubima Community, Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, Eluke urged politicians to embrace peace and ensure that political offices were not used to destroy one another or communities.
“Election is an opportunity for the people to choose who they want to lead them. Nigeria needs peace. We need leaders who can only disagree but arrive at a point that will be beneficial to all,” he said.
