Rufai Oseni, Omojuwa Clash Over Cardinal Onaiyekan and APC Criticism

Rufai Oseni, Omojuwa Clash Over Cardinal Onaiyekan and APC Criticism — 1 of 6
1 / 6

TVC presenter Rufai Oseni criticised what he described as the APC's double standard over Cardinal John Onaiyekan's comments on governance. He said party supporters once celebrated the cleric for criticising former President Goodluck Jonathan but now question him for speaking against the current government. Oseni referenced an old photograph of Japheth Omojuwa with Cardinal Onaiyekan, in which Omojuwa described the cleric as a strong voice against bad governance. He asked why the cardinal is no longer treated as a credible voice when he raises concerns today. Omojuwa rejected the claim that he insulted the cardinal and accused Oseni of creating a false narrative from a 2013 photograph. Their exchange has renewed debate about political loyalty, criticism of government and consistency in public discourse.

Do people judge Cardinal Onaiyekan's comments by the message itself, or mainly by which administration is being criticised?

I agree. Political reactions often depend on who feels targeted, instead of engaging the actual point being made.

The dispute highlights how quickly public praise can turn into suspicion when the same critic speaks against a different government.

Still, calling out double standards should not automatically make every statement from a cleric beyond scrutiny.

A fair approach is to compare the actual comments and apply the same standard, regardless of who holds power.
