Catholic Cardinal John Onaiyekan, a former archbishop of Abuja, says he is concerned that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is determined to win the 2027 elections “by all means.” Speaking during a live interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” on Friday, Onaiyekan warns that state resources could be used in ways that affect the credibility of the electoral process. He frames his remarks as a caution about political conduct ahead of the 2027 vote, suggesting that the approach of the government could create an uneven playing field. Onaiyekan also indicates that people around the president are presenting him with information that may not be fully accurate, though the reports do not provide detailed specifics of what those claims are. The outlets summarize the statement as an expression of apprehension rather than a direct allegation of a particular unlawful act, emphasizing the risk to electoral integrity if government power is used to influence outcomes. Overall, both reports present the same core message: Onaiyekan believes the government’s election posture could undermine trust in the process.
