Most Reverend Jonas-Benson Okoye, the Auxiliary Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Awka, Anambra State on Saturday said that the November 6 governorship election in the state must hold.

Okoye said he took this position because the alternative was to have a Constitutional crisis in the state.

The cleric was speaking at the funeral Mass for Chief Julius Odinigwe, a staunch member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church Enugu-Ukwu in Njikoka Local Government Area of the state.

“Many are trying to frustrate preparations for the election; this is a sign that if we don’t vote, they will destroy us and our faith.

“We can’t get justice or freedom by sitting at home; the only thing to do to save the situation is to come out next Saturday with your Permanent Voter Cards to vote for the right candidate,” he said.
