CHURCH CAN’T SEPARATE ITSELF FROM POLITICS — EX-AVIATION MINISTER

Former Minister of Aviation Fidelia Njeze has argued that the Church cannot completely separate itself from politics, saying religious institutions have a role to play in holding government accountable.

Njeze maintained that the Church should be able to critique government policies and actions, particularly when decisions affect citizens’ welfare and the wider society.

Her position highlights the debate over the relationship between religious institutions and political leadership, including the extent to which faith-based organisations should speak out on public affairs.

The discussion also raises questions about the distinction between political involvement and the responsibility of religious leaders to address issues of justice, accountability and good governance.

Further details about Njeze’s remarks and the occasion on which she made them were not included in the information provided.
