Photos: Catholic priest to run for Governor of Cross River state

Roman Catholic Priest, Rev Fr Francis Agantem Eworo of the Ogoja Diocese in Cross Rivers state, has signified fascination with running for governor of their state in the 2015 general election.

At a media parley held recently, Rev. Fr Eworo told newsmen he intends to contest on the platform of PDP and if elected as Governor, would concentrate on youth development amongst others

Father Eworo who says he’s been active in the politics of the PDP since 1999, was ordained a priest in 1977 and has served in a variety of parishes of the Catholic Church in Ogoja, Ikom, Uruan, Calabar, and Akwa Ibom State. Could it be OK for a Catholic priest to contest for an election?
