The Bishop of Etche, Anglican Communion Rt. Rev. Okechukwu Precious Nwala, has blamed the activities of governors in the Eastern part of Nigeria on Muslim said they are encouraging the religion in the east the way northern governors handled Christianity in the north. The Bishop told newsmen shortly after the Easter service on Sunday March 31, 2013 at Okomoko that Muslims are using Boko Haram to kill Christians in the north but Muslims are protected in the East that nobody can touch them.
Bishop Nwala further said that, even if by the teaching of Christianity, Christian leaders can not order reprisal attack on Muslims in the East, the governors suppose to instruct their counterpart in the North that so long as they are protecting their religious faithfuls they should equally care for Christians there in the north otherwise they will not guarantee the security of Muslims faithful in their own domain and they will immediately understand.
If there is one Nigeria, he said what is good for one is also good for the other.
Nwala has it that in the East governors donate lands for the erection of mosque while in the north one find it impossible to buy land to build church and that apart from the Boko Haram activities Muslims see Christians as enemies in their home in the north.
