"We Must Take Back our Country" Fr Cornelius Afebu Omonokhua Speaks about the Election Fever in Nigeria
Fr Omonokhua is a Nigeria cleric with a mission. He wants to bring Nigerians together across tribes, religions, and regions to the table of dialogue. As the Secretary-General of the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC), he works everyday to create the space for dialogue among a cross section of Nigerians on how to promote the common good and bring about good governance, peace and social transformation in Nigeria. In this dialogue, he speaks on the current election cycle in Nigeria; the contested presidential elections, and what every Nigerian ought to do in order to take back the country from those leaders whose greed and bad leadership, he argues, has led to the poverty of a multitude of Nigerians.
