Peter Obi defends Onaiyekan, accuses Presidency of attacking truth
Former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has defended the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) and Cardinal John Onaiyekan, accusing the Presidency of responding to legitimate criticism with attacks instead of addressing the country’s challenges.
Obi argued that other major religious organisations had also consistently raised concerns over insecurity, inflation, unemployment and the rising cost of living because they interact directly with affected Nigerians.
The former governor urged political leaders to embrace constructive criticism, recalling that he benefited from feedback from traditional rulers and religious leaders while serving as governor of Anambra State.
