‘Onaiyekan supports nobody’ - Amaechi counters Wike’s claim
Former Minister of Transportation, and vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Party, (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, has defended Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, insisting that the cleric has no political affiliation and does not support any politician.
Earlier, Wike had questioned Onaiyekan’s neutrality while reacting to the controversy that followed the cardinal’s remarks after a meeting between President Bola Tinubu and members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria.
He added that his interactions with the cardinal over the years had convinced him that the cleric’s concerns were centred on the country’s worsening socio-economic conditions rather than partisan politics.
