‘I’m 82, not afraid of anybody’ – Onaiyekan responds to Presidency
Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, has defended his decision to publicly discuss a meeting between Catholic bishops and President Bola Tinubu, saying he appeared on television to tell the truth and not to please the government.
Onaiyekan also urged Nigerians not to take for granted the freedom to criticise those in government, noting that religious leaders in some African countries do not enjoy the same liberty.
The delegation was led by the CBCN President, Archbishop Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso of Kaduna, and included Onaiyekan, Cardinal Peter Okpaleke, Bishop Matthew Kukah of Sokoto and other senior Catholic clerics.
