In May 2021, Chukwunenye said that criticisms of southern governors' ban of open grazing and support of restructuring were selfish and primitive during an address at the 1st session of the 5th synod of the diocese.[7] In the same month, he called for the government to revisit workers' salary and pensions.[8][unreliable source?]
