EnuguThe Catholic diocese says a party used its bishop’s name unasked.
The diocese says the listing falsely suggests the bishop’s political allegiance.
The All Progressives Congress named Auxiliary Bishop Ernest Obodo director of its faith-based campaign group, alongside other clerics.
Obodo also chairs Enugu’s chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, which disowned the listing Thursday.
The diocese demands removal of the names and threatens legal action over any further use.
