Not one of the founding fathers, Abuja attained a status of archdiocese as a result of the city becoming a capital.

Wow.

I used to know him when he was bishop of Ilorin diocese before bishop Ayo Atoyebi got there.

He served well, I think.

Kudos, your Eminence.

He could have been firmer with those corrupt politicians though. IMO.
