We look to God to replace Buhari with the right govt —Onaiyekan
Archbishop of the Abuja Roman Catholic Church, John Cardinal Onaiyekan on Friday said that Nigerian Bishops have no more confidence in the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
As a result, he said that they are now hoping that God would provide Nigeria with a government that would do what is right and expected of it.
He stated this when he spoke with newsmen on the sidelines of the ordination of Bishop Paul Olawoore as the Bishop of Ilorin Catholic diocese, in Kwara State on Friday.
“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,” he said.
