Christians would have killed me if I was made Bishop-Fr.Nkeze

Father George Nkeze has declared that if he was made Bishop of the newly created Kumba diocese, he will be killed. He made the declaration in an extensive interview with the Sun newspaper.

It should be recalled that prior to the creation of Kumba diocese, priests in Buea Diocese were largely fragmented in two or three different Camps: Bishop Bushu/Nkeze camp Vs Anti-Nkeze camp (a camp which thinks Father Nkeze has lorded over the Bishop) Vs the traditional/liberal camp. This also fragmented the Buea Diocese Christians and parishioners into pro and anti Nkeze camps.

Information were rife that Father George Nkeze could be named the Bishop of Kumba Diocese. His Holiness Pope Francis went instead for an outsider. Father Nkeze just confirmed that his life would have been in danger if he was appointed Bishop.

I am a bit saddened that even as I write some priests in the Diocese of Buea do not greet each other. Some could not even stand the sight of others. Some have resulted in white collar scamming (BaretaNews had earlier written on this and would bring this later). God should bless and protect our priests.

Information reaching BaretaNews say most of the so called recalcitrant priests have been transferred and would remain under Kumba Diocese probably sanctifying Buea Diocese again.
