The Catholic Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Most Rev. Felix Femi Ajakaye, has identified indiscipline as the major problem facing Nigeria, noting that corruption is the first born of indiscipline.
Ajakaye, therefore, called on the leadership of Nigeria to shun media prosecution because it would lead the nation to nowhere.
He made the remarks at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral, in Ado-Ekiti, during a public presentation and launch of his book “Beyond Ideas”, held at the Akinyede Momorial Hall, at the weekend.
The cleric also called on the Federal Government not to discard the recommendation of the 2014 Confab report, saying “we need to re-visit It; the report would make our country, Nigeria a better place”.
The Bishop noted that the book “Beyond Ideas”, “is for positive and concrete actions, for a new dawn for Nigeria and Nigerians in all our dealings with one another.”
Bishop Ajakaye noted that “Nigeria must not fail; if Nigeria fails, we have fallen and failed as a people”.
In his speech, the Minister of Mines and Steel, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, while unveiling and presenting the book to the public said the Bishop Ajakaye’s latest work was of creativity, knowledge and reflection.
In his speech at the occasion, the Archbishop of Ibadan and the metropolitan of Ibadan Ecclesiastical Province, Most Rev. Gabriel Abegunrin, called on Nigerians to “talk positively, think positively so that all of us in Nigeria would make the world a better place.”
