Atiku Demands Tinubu Apologise to Cardinal Onaiyekan, Catholic Church

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, accusing it of intolerance of dissent and of using statistics to mask Nigerians’ economic hardship. Atiku also demanded an apology to Cardinal John Onaiyekan and the Catholic Church over the Presidency’s response to the cleric’s comments on the state of the country. He said the government should address concerns raised by Catholic bishops rather than attack or discredit religious leaders. Atiku described the Church as a longstanding moral voice that speaks for poor and vulnerable Nigerians regardless of the party in power.

Calling for an apology is understandable, but the public will also want the allegations and responses clearly set out, not just political exchanges.

Government should address the concerns directly: explain the statistics, acknowledge hardship where it exists, and clarify its position on dissent and the church.
