WEIRD NEWS: Catholic priest, REV. FATHER F.A. EWORO to contest for Governor of Cross River state

Roman Catholic Priest, Rev Fr Francis Agantem Eworo of the Ogoja Diocese in Cross Rivers state, has signified interest in running for governor of the state in the 2015 general election. At a media parley held recently, Rev. Fr Eworo told newsmen that he intends to contest on the platform of PDP and if elected as Governor, would focus on youth development among others

Father Eworo who says he has been involved in the politics of the PDP since 1999,
was ordained a priest in 1977 and has served in various parishes of the Catholic Church in Ogoja, Ikom, Uruan, Calabar, and Akwa Ibom State. 

Is it OK for a Catholic priest to want to run for election?

THE worry is that there will be no First Lady if he's elected. Will he have a reverend sister to take the position?

Late Rev fr. Moses Adasu was a goveror of Beue State and his positive impact was felt in his short stay in office so I see nofin wrong

Charles Odimegwu

Akindele Lateef

Terkula Isaac

there is no constitutional position like first lady. so do not worry abt that as it is not an issue here

Polycarpz Igboon

Give him a chance, Rev' Adasu rule Benue state and he did well.

Olayinka Olawunmi

We nid godfearing pple like him in dis nation to correct d wrongs of our past leaders..lets give him a chance

Jam Richard

Him contesting is not a problem. Benue state had Rev. fr. Moses Orshio Adasu. in 1992/3 and performed so well more than his successors who had first ladies. first lady sit is not a compulsory. he should carry on. Only that he may face opposition from the church.

Miz Anabel

Na wao

Korede Adesanya

who no want money?

Shukar Sugarmix Khadibia

Good one.......i hope he wins

Tobechi Okonkwo

@ Endy Edeson, it is indeed right and absolutely a welcome development for a cleric to vie for the said office or any other office in the land. Sequel to the submissions on this issue by JAM RICHARD, Rev Jolly Nyame equally contested the same office and won. Today we talk about bad government, how do we change it if not for morally sound clerics to come out and participate fully in the electoral process. It is high time clerics stopped shying away from partisan politics. Again, on this issue of first lady that office is uncontitutional and also an avenue used for self aggrandisement. Former gov Orji uzoh of Abia for seven out of eight years of his administration never had a first lady. President Obasanjo finished his tenure without a first lady. Etc. So the way this country is going, I think we need more "MORALLY SOUND" clerics to right the wrongs of this nation

Adewale Adeyemi Adeyemi

Not bad. That position We nid a man God 2 do it beta. Let him do it wit fears of God
