The controversy surrounding the meeting between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), as well as subsequent comments by Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, has continued to generate reactions from political leaders and public affairs analysts.
While some have defended the right of the Catholic Bishops and Cardinal Onaiyekan to comment on national issues affecting Nigerians, others have criticised the manner in which the meeting was discussed publicly, arguing that religious leaders should exercise caution when engaging with government officials.
The National Organising Secretary of Afenifere, Apagun Kole Omololu, former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Bakkita Bello, Afenifere leader, Senator Femi Okurounmu, and other stakeholders shared different perspectives on the development.
