Nigeria’s Anglican Church breaks from Canterbury over ‘pro-gay’ female archbishop

Nigeria’s Anglican Church breaks from Canterbury over ‘pro-gay’ female archbishop

The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has announced its spiritual independence from the Church of England, rejecting the appointment of Bishop Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Nigerian Church said Mullally’s support for same-sex marriage and her emergence as the first female to occupy the position represent a “troubling moral decline” within the Anglican leadership.

In a statement issued by its Primate, the Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba, the Church described the October 3, 2025, announcement of Mullally’s appointment as “devastating” and “insensitive,” accusing the Church of England of disregarding the deep divisions within the global Anglican community.

“This election is a double jeopardy. First, it disregards the conviction of the majority of Anglicans who cannot accept female headship in the episcopate; and second, it is more disturbing that Bishop Sarah Mullally is a strong supporter of same-sex marriage,” the statement read.

The Church recalled Mullally’s 2023 remarks welcoming the Church of England’s approval of blessings for same-sex couples, in which she described the decision as “a moment of hope.” It said such views further threaten the unity of the Anglican Communion.

“It remains to be seen how the same person hopes to mend the already torn fabric of the Anglican Communion by the contentious same-sex marriage issue, which has caused enormous crisis across the Communion for over two decades,” the Church said.

Declaring that the global Anglican community can no longer accept the leadership of the Church of England or the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Nigerian Church reaffirmed its allegiance to the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) and its principles.

“On our part, as a member of the GAFCON family, the Church of Nigeria affirms the GAFCON position unreservedly, and reaffirms our earlier stance to uphold the authority of the Scriptures, our historic creeds, evangelism and holy Christian living, irrespective of the ongoing revisionist agenda,” the statement added.

The Church also urged conservative Anglicans in England and other parts of the world to remain steadfast in defending biblical truth and rejecting teachings that compromise the Christian faith.

Plateau Gov, Mutfwang inaugurates PDP protocol sub-committee ahead Ibadan convention

Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, on Monday, inaugurated the Protocol Sub-Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ahead of the party’s convention scheduled for November, 2025, in Ibadan, Oyo State.

While conducting the process in his capacity as the Chairman of the Protocol Sub-Committee at the at the Legacy House, Maitama, Abuja, Mutfwang said it was a crucial step that signals the party’s readiness for the 2027 elections and reaffirms the PDP’s strength, discipline, and unity despite the crisis that has dogged the party in recent years.

He further declared that though the PDP has suffered serious setbacks including unnecessary infighting and the defection of some of its key members to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, the PDP is still a strong force to reckon with and was not only prepared, but determined to host a seamless, world-class political convention with a renewed confidence ahead of the general elections.

Gov. Mutfwang noted that with the inauguration of the Protocol Sub-Committee, the PDP is setting the political stage ablaze once again, as preparations have reached top gear for its much-anticipated Elective Convention.

Speaking during the inauguration, Gov. Mutfwang said: “Today’s meeting demonstrates that the PDP is very much alive, and we are taking the convention very seriously.

“That is why we are approaching our assignment with every sense of responsibility. I have always maintained that the founding fathers of the PDP would not wish to see the party die in our time. We, therefore, have a sacred responsibility to keep this platform alive and strong for the people of Nigeria.”

The Plateau governor emphasized that the role of the protocol team is pivotal to the convention’s success, urging members to bring their wealth of experience and professionalism to ensure a smooth and memorable outing.

He explained that the inauguration was not just ceremonial but an avenue for members to bond, strategize, and build synergy toward delivering a flawless convention experience in Ibadan, one that would restore confidence among Nigerians.

He stressed that the PDP remains the most credible, people-oriented political platform in Nigeria and indeed across Sub-Saharan Africa and will continue to uphold its values and reposition it as the trusted vehicle for Nigeria’s democratic renewal.

Low turnout as Osun LG workers resume after eight-month strike

Resumption of work across local government secretariats in Osun State on Monday witnessed a low turnout of workers, marking the end of an eight-month industrial action triggered by a leadership tussle at the third tier of government.

Low turnout as Osun LG workers resume after eight-month strike

Resumption of work across local government secretariats in Osun State on Monday witnessed a low turnout of workers, marking the end of an eight-month industrial action triggered by a leadership tussle at the third tier of government.

The prolonged strike began in February 2025 following a power struggle between elected officials of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC. The standoff kept many council offices under lock and key for months, paralysing grassroots administration.

The deadlock began to ease after the Federal Government recognised the reinstated APC chairmen and released six months of previously withheld allocations into local government accounts under their control.

Last week, the Coordinator of the aggrieved workers, Comrade Adedayo Adekunle, urged colleagues to end the industrial action, describing the strike as unnecessary. However, the leadership of the National Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, maintained that the stay-at-home order remained in force.

It was gathered that some workers returned to their duty posts in Boripe, Orolu, Obokun, Osogbo, Olorunda, Ifelodun, Ayedire, and Ilesa West local government areas under tight security.

Despite the security presence, turnout was generally low across the secretariats visited.

Chairman of Olorunda Local Government Area, Hon. Kunle Kudaisi, dismissed claims that the council had been completely shut down since February.

“We have been attending to our assignments in the LG, but today NULGE formally resumed, as you can see them hanging around,” he said.

Kudaisi attributed the low attendance to the fact that many workers were at the Osun State Secretariat to collect their promotion letters.

“We have NULGE members who have resumed and the political office holders are fully on ground, so there is no problem at all,” he added.

He urged other workers to return, assuring them that the work environment remains safe for staff and residents.
