The ordination of a new Catholic Bishop for Nsukka Diocese, Rev. Godfrey Igwebuike Onah in Enugu State was yesterday turned to a carnival as politicians tried to position themselves ahead of the 2015 general elections.
.
Onah succeeded Bishop Emeritus Francis Okobo, who retired from the position due to old age.
.
Among those who graced the occasion included President Goodluck Jonathan, Senate President David Mark as well as three South East governors, Sullivan Chime (Enugu), Rochas Okorocha (Imo) and Peter Obi (Anambra), and members of the national and state assemblies.
.
Jonathan was represented by his Political Adviser, Senator Ben Obi, while 35 other Catholic Bishops with over 1,000 reverend fathers and other Christian faithful participated in the ordination service.
