Bishop Egb Rejects Sharia Law Integration in Nigeria

During the third day of the 12th synod of the Holy Trinity Anglican Communion in Calabar, Cross River State, Bishop Prof. Nneoyi Egb rejected allegations of an attempt to Islamize Nigeria through the integration of sharia law into the country’s financial system.

He stated that such a move would not guarantee transparency or accountability and would not enhance the credibility of financial regulations. Egb lamented that Nigeria has become a two-tier nation, where political elites live in comfort while the majority of citizens face hardship.

He criticized the reliance on solar energy and the privatization of security, which he claimed only benefits a select few. Egb called for Christians to return to genuine repentance and to reject modern idolatries, urging a focus on merit and ability in political appointments, including the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
