The Archbishop of Abuja, Roman Catholic Church, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has said that Nigerian bishops have lost confidence in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He stated that they were hopeful that God would give Nigerians a government that would do the right thing.

He spoke to journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital on the sidelines of the ordination of Bishop Paul Olawoore as the Bishop of Ilorin Catholic diocese on Friday.

He lamented the killings of people in Nigeria, adding that government had not lived up to its constitutional responsibility of securing lives and property in the country.

He said, “One life lost is one life too many. It does not matter whether they are Christians, Muslims or nobody. Even one Muslim killed worries me as much as Christians killed. There are various reasons for wanting to kill. We should go to the root of that. That is the job of the government which it is not doing.

“This is why we bishops of Nigeria have said we have lost confidence in the present government. We look to God to give us a government that will do the right thing.”

The cardinal also urged politicians to avoid desperation and engaging in violence in their quest for political offices.

He described the conduct of some politicians in the country as shameful, urging them to retrace their steps.

The Catholic Bishop of Oyo Diocese, Bishop Emmanuel Badejo, also lamented the killings in some parts of the country, saying, “We are all looking for peace and we are seeking progress.”

Onaiyeka should go and die.

Buhary as president of Nigeria in this century is a mistake that must be corrected.

But, we sane ones love and believe in him.
Let us all respect each other's view on politics.

I know you must say nonsense. It will a shame to you if you did not die with your buhari

Those on a N30k monthly pay on NL are the foot soldiers minority making the noise to keep him relevant on social media.

2019 will be a rude shock for the tyrant with soft spot for brutal killers.

The problems we should be tackling but left unattended to yet we keep blaming our useless leaders.. We can't even tolerate ourselves. If it's not Muslim vs Christians, it's Catholics vs Pentecosts or Hausa vs Igbo, etc. In as much as we see ourselves as better than the others and act accordingly we definitely won't find any solution to our problems.

shatap and mobilize more masses vote him out and send him to the gallows in Hague

u reason like an imbeci.le

isn't he one?

No be una Catholic bishops gang up against GEJ just because he gave much recognition to the then CAN President?

I wish those herdsmen would spare those Revd Fathers on the field and face you guys.

Enjoy the change you yearned for.

The year Nigerians will taste good leadership, from then on they wouldn't want anything else...I think part of the reasons we are suffering with these ancient and analogue leaders is our own naivety and sentiments. Good leadership is like good food; once you taste it, you never desire anything less.

Catholic bishops didn't gang up against GEJ, In fact there was a spilt of opinion, bishop kukah seemed pro GEJ, card okogie believed gej was weak and didn't do enough especially in the boko haram issue.



besides there was a general feeling in the country that gej underperformed, actually I still believe gej underperformed and if he had the economic permutations buhari suffered he would have done worst, he supervised the looting of his country and is a major contributor to the problems.

Just bear a little... We will send him back to daura come next year...
