Faith is intertwine with politics ever since human civilization. From ancient empires where gods legitimized rulers to modern democracies where religious rhetoric sways elections, the two domains have shaped one another in profound, often contentious ways. This interplay is not merely incidental; it is fundamental to how societies organize power, define morality, and pursue justice. As history demonstrates, when faith infuses politics, it can inspire monumental progress or ignite devastating conflicts. Yet, in an era of rising secularism and pluralism, the question persists: Can or should faith and politics ever be fully disentangled? This my little point of view argues that they cannot, for faith provides the moral compass that politics desperately needs, while politics offers faith a platform for worldly influence, though this union demands vigilant navigation to avoid tyranny or division.

The roots of faith's entanglement with politics stretch back millennia, often serving as the bedrock for governance as proposed by Dante in De Monarchia, advocating for harmonious yet distinct roles between church and state. 

The investiture into knighthood of St. Christopher of the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly on the 25th of October, 2025 Rt Hon Emmanuel Ihuoma Emeruwa now Rt Hon Sir Dede Emmanuel Ihuoma Emeruwa at St Michael's Cathedral of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) Ecclesiastical Province of Aba Diocese is no different from what faith and politics represent in the affairs of mankind. Here is to a man who in all walks of life had toil within life and it's rudiment to achieve this State of life. A life for public service and sacrifice. To me it's a noble call and an honor to serve both the Church and the State.

Some of those who accompanied him to this big event in his life time were his very deputy Austin Emeregini with some of his co House members, the Mayor of Aba South LGA honourable Obilor Anyanwụ with his deputy, the leader of Aba South  of legislature Hon. Prince Paul Nwandu with his co Councilors, some Aba South stake holders, Aba base business jugarnots like Ide Friday Eze and numerous host of others.
