According to Nigeria’s criminal law, it is an offence to accuse any person of being a witch.

said the Akwa Ibom State Government has been taken to court by “witches” for building a Christian worship centre in the state.has been criticised by many who felt it would have been better to use the money to tackle the many development needs of the oil-rich state.

But Mr Emmanuel has always argued that it was necessary for Akwa Ibom, “as a state named after God, to build a temple for God. “All witches and wizards came together and took me to court that we are building a Christian Worship Center,” the governor said on Saturday at a media chat that was broadcast live on radio and television.“They say they are atheists. The case is in the court, we won them but they have appealed,” the governor added.as his preferred successor in the 2023 governorship election, was responding to a reporter’s question if God truly revealed to him his successor as he claimed.

The governor’s remark about “witches” appeared to have overshadowed all the other things he said about his administration, as several people from the state took to Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms to talk about “witches”.to offer clarifications to the governor’s remarks. Mr Finbarr said Mr Emmanuel was referring to a lawsuit filed by the Atheist Society of Nigeria against the Akwa Ibom State Government in 2019 to stop the government from building the worship centre.“It sounds extremely funny but it is true. There are actually real legal attempts to stop the building project,” Mr Finbarr said.
