In a statement on Facebook, bishop of Ondo diocese Jude Ayodeji Arogundade described as “incorrect and far-fetched” the climate change elements in President Higgins’s statement condemning the massacre. “Alluding to some form of politics of climate change in our situation is completely inappropriate,” the Bishop said.
“Comments associating banditry, kidnapping and gruesome attacks on innocent and harmless citizens of Nigeria with issues concerning climate change and food securities are deflections from the truth,” he said. To present climate change “as the reason for the gruesome massacre in the church on Pentecost Sunday or for the ongoing rise of terrorist activities, banditry, kidnapping, attacks, and unabated onslaught of peoples and villages in Nigeria, is hugely incorrect and far-fetched, as Bishop Jude has said”, she added.
He didn’t ‘suggest’ anything…. ‘Played a role’ also misleading… MIchael D Higgins stated his position that defends the ‘pastoral peoples’ who massacred Catholics in a sectarian event in Nigeria. He blames climate change for the event, not anything short of it. Don’t excuse him
PresidentIRL comments described as “Deflections from the truth”…?
A statement from PresidentIRL might be nice since there was none given in the article. Did the seek comment?
Really couldn’t work that one out for myself
This appalling event was almost unnoticed by the Irish media. We have a long association with Nigeria through our missionaries.
not surprising, look at the vile sentiments espoused by the far left progressives towards christians in this country
