A Nigerian cardinal sparked controversy when he said that presidential advisors were hiding information about true conditions in the nation from Bola Tinubu, the nation’s president since 2023.
Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, archbishop emeritus of Abuja, made his remarks following the July 28 meeting between President Tinubu and Nigerian prelates. Cardinal Onaiyekan said that “we knew that what the bishops had revealed was different from the kind of information our president continues to receive from the people he meets.”
