Observing that the protest was for catholic members to partake in the exercise in supplication to God , he added that it was also in solidarity with those killed in Benue.

“The church decried deep displeasure over the incessant killings and general insecurity being exprienced across the length and breadth of our dear country”.

“Mr President, it is time for you to act fast and put to rest all the insinuations being pandered all over about you. We reiterate that our call for your urgent intervention is borne out of our deep patrotism and desire to save the country from imminent crisis that could snowball into ethnic, tribal or religious war.”
