Anglican Archbishop of Jos, Rev. Benjamin Kwashi, has advised Gov. Jonah Jang of Plateau to appoint only God-fearing people as commissioners.
Kwashi gave the advice on Sunday in his sermon at the inauguration of Jang and his deputy, Ignatius Longjan, in Jos. He tasked the governor to ensure that he cared for the less privileged during his second term in office. Kwashi also advised Jang to drop some of the commissioners who served in his first term.
“The list of your commissioners would have been ready by now but I advise you to review it.
“Godly people, who feel the plight of the poor, orphans and widows, should be brought on board in your second term to execute your programmes for the people,” Kwashi said.
I find it impressive that an archbishop would preach such a hard-hitting sermon at the inauguration of a governor, and that the governor would listen to it.
Compare this with the controversies in western nation if e.g. someone merely wants prayers to open an official function!
Short in stature, bold in preaching, and loves his sweets like anybody else.
