Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra has proclaimed the state a 'Christian state', a declaration that the article argues could spark an unhealthy political dynamic involving power abuse and favoritism towards the Christian majority. The author notes that such declarations often lead to a re-writing of history and the marginalization of other religious practices, particularly traditional ones. This has historical precedence, as past colonial administrations attempted similar actions in Igbo land, resulting in increased resistance among religious practitioners rather than compliance.

The commentary also highlights a recent incident where a local practitioner, Johnpaul Ezenagu, was assaulted, exemplifying the growing tensions between adherents of traditional religions and the supporters of Soludo's proclamation. The author contends that Soludo’s approach reflects a misguided belief in a crusade against non-Christian practices, which could further alienate and provoke practitioners rather than achieve any meaningful change or acceptance.

Ultimately, the article serves as a warning against the potential consequences of such divisive policies, calling into question the viability of Soludo’s actions in a contemporary multi-religious society that thrives on inclusivity rather than exclusion. The implications of this stance may lead to deeper societal fractures, challenging the fabric of coexistence in Anambra state and beyond.
