The Presidency has berated Cardinal John Onaiyekan over his comments on a private meeting between the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria and President Bola Tinubu.
It faulted the cleric for granting a television interview in which he gave his account and interpretation of what happened at the meeting.
According to the Presidency, it was “fundamentally inappropriate” for Onaiyekan to publicly discuss the details of the private engagement.
It also described the action as an abuse of clerical privilege.
The criticism followed Onaiyekan’s media appearance on the meeting involving the bishops and the President.
