Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja John Cardinal Onaiyekan tells the Tinubu presidency that Catholic bishops are “done talking” and urges the administration to “govern better.” He says the bishops have already delivered their message to the president and that his focus is now on whether the government will act on the concerns raised. Onaiyekan makes the remarks in an interview on Eagle 102.5 FM in Ilese-Ijebu, Ogun State, on Monday. He declines to respond to criticisms coming from the presidency, indicating that further debate is not necessary. The comments follow an earlier exchange between the presidency and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, where each side addressed the issues raised by the bishops. Sources report that Onaiyekan’s statement is positioned as a call for implementation rather than continued dialogue, emphasizing accountability and governance outcomes instead of public back-and-forth. The report presents the statement as part of the aftermath of the dispute between the government and Catholic leadership rather than a new set of demands.
