ABUJA — Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, said yesterday the Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, was not neutral during the 2023 general elections, dismissing suggestions that the cleric’s recent criticisms of the Presidency was impartial.
His statement elicited strong reactions from the Northern Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, which did not only declare its support for Cardinal Onaiyekan, but also said the cleric merely reflected the hardship confronting millions of Nigerians currently.
