Christian leaders from different denominations have called for a collective stand against corruption, injustice, and spiritual complacency in the country.
The Christian leaders, who made the call during the Christian Citizenship Summit 2025 in Aba, Abia State, on August 21 through a communiqué, demanded moral responsibility in the Church and the nation.
The summit declared that the Church must rise above neutrality and re-engage with society with courage and unity, emphasising that silence in the face of moral and political decay amounts to complicity.
They resolved to establish Christian Citizenship coalitions nationwide, promote civic discipleship in schools and congregations, and train believers for leadership roles across politics, media, education, health, and the economy.
The Christian leaders, who appealed for collaboration with Nigeria’s diaspora to strengthen nation-building efforts, urged citizens to embrace civic responsibility, even as they urged the government to demonstrate transparency and uphold justice.
The convener of the summit, Pastor Emmanuel Ihim, challenged Christians to courageously confront corruption, injustice, and moral decline.
Earlier in his speech, Governor Alex Otti, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Religious Matters, K.C. Wiper, urged Christians to rise as agents of positive change in society.
