The Catholic Diocese of Enugu has distanced itself from a planned political endorsement rally in support of President Bola Tinubu and Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, insisting that the event will not hold at the Jubilee Hall of Holy Ghost Cathedral, Enugu, as earlier publicized.
In a disclaimer issued on Sunday by its Director of Communications, Rev. Fr. Anthony Aneke, the Diocese stressed that it does not permit the use of churches, parish halls, or other ecclesiastical facilities for partisan political activities, including endorsement rallies.
The clarification followed a media announcement about a “Historic Endorsement Rally and Adoption Ceremony” scheduled for Friday, July 3, 2026, at the Cathedral’s Jubilee Hall.
“The Catholic Diocese of Enugu wishes to state that it does not permit the use of its churches, parish halls, or other ecclesiastical facilities for partisan political rallies, endorsements, or similar activities.
Consequently, the use of Jubilee Hall, Holy Ghost Cathedral, for the said political event does not reflect the policy or position of the Diocese and therefore will not hold at the said venue,” the statement read.
The Diocese expressed regret over any confusion the announcement may have caused and urged the public to disregard any impression that it had endorsed or approved the proposed rally.
