Catholic Diocese of Enugu Disowns APC Campaign Council List

The Catholic Diocese of Enugu condemned the inclusion, without consent, of Auxiliary Bishop Ernest Anezichukwu Obodo and several priests on the APC campaign council in Enugu State. Obodo, who also chairs the Enugu State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), was reportedly named director of the Faith-Based Campaign Group. In a statement dated October 30, 2026, the Diocese demanded the immediate removal of their names and said the Church does not endorse political parties and remains politically neutral. It warned that further unauthorised use of the bishop’s name, title or image could lead to legal action.
