You’ve lied to Nigerians- Cardinal Onaiyekan blasts INEC Chairman Yabubu over 2023 elections

John Onaiyekan APC's Muslim-Muslim ticket Church

Bishop Emeritus of the Catholic Church Diocese in Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has slammed the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, for misleading Nigerians and not being honest in the 2023 elections.

The Cardinal spoke to Journalist on Saturday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, during the 10th anniversary celebration of the Jesuit Memorial College.

Onaiyekan accused Mahmood of not telling Nigerians the truth when he knew things didn’t go well.

The cleric, however, insisted that the truth prevail even as the opposition was challenging President Bola Tinubu’s victory in the court.

He said, “We should refuse to agree that this is a country where certificates are forged and it is okay. We should refuse to accept a situation where elections are rigged, and you are told to go to court. These things have consequences. Jesus says you shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free. Accept that they have a very heavy trust deficit.

“Nothing wrong with admitting that things did not go so well. If we don’t tell the truth, we will not move forward”.

“I shed tears when I heard Professor Mahmood on television, even yesterday, telling us that everything went perfectly well. He knows he was not telling the truth.”

The Cardinal maintained that he would pray for Nigeria to forgive and show the nation the truth.

“I am religious, and I keep praying to God to forgive us and show us the truth because if we tell the truth, things will move fast. Nigerians are wonderful, and I still hope things will move quickly.”

“Whatever the judges may decide, whatever courts may say, at the end of the day, the truth will make us free,” he added.
