The Methodist Church, Nigeria, has called on the government at all levels in the country to be sensitive to the plights of citizens and urgently make them breathe fresh air.

Rising from the 13th yearly Synod of Methodist Church Nigeria, Diocese of Ngbo, Ebonyi State, the Church decried what she described as maladministration and total abuse of all known tenets of democratic regime since independence and failure in formulating peoples oriented policies, especially among states in the South East zone of the country.

The church also frowned on the free fall of naira against the dollar and other major foreign currencies, insecurity, which is assuming more sophisticated dimension and proportion, as well as the ailing and almost total disappearance of industries in the country.

In a communiqué signed by the Diocesan Bishop, Rt. Rev. Ken Egbochue, and Diocesan Lay President, Peter Onwe, issued at the end of the Synod, which was held at Ebenezer Methodist Church, Ejirike Ekwashi, with the theme, Arise and Build (Nehemiah 2:18), the Church, through the synod, commended President Bola Tinubu for steering the ship of the country, navigating through the harsh economic challenges confronting almost every sector of the nations economy.
