“Buhari Is A National Embarrassment,” Cardinal John Onaiyekan Blasts The President

John-Cardinal-Onaiyekan
Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari over disregarding court

orders, demanding the release of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

He said: “There is no sign that Nigeria has the president. The problem President Buhari has is that many Nigerians want to continue as they were doing before and they want every­body else to change, but not themselves.”

“Democracy is all about the rule of law. Three times he has disobeyed court orders in less than a year in office. “Disobedience to court orders by those who should protect and ensure its compliance slides the Nation to anarchy.

“It is wrong to undermine the Constitution of Nigeria which is the bases of the Nigerian nation and expects people not to resist such via protesting. For those supporting president can you please justify why he has refused to obey court orders?

The prominent cleric added: “My dear President Buhari, it will be in the best interest of the nation that you obey court orders and apologize to the nation for the embarrassments you have caused us which have led to peaceful demonstrations in virtually major parts of Southern Nigeria.

“You should in the best interest of the nation set up a truth and reconciliation committee and compensate families of those killed. You should have obeyed as ordered by the court; ask your DSS to obey court orders, release Nnamdi Kanu and tender an unreserved apology to him for the embarrassments you have caused him, his wife, family, and millions of his followers by detaining him and infringing on his rights without good reason.”

Kanu was arrested in Lagos in October on conspiracy and terrorism charges, which were later dropped.

    Nnamdi Kanu Caused that upon himself he should have thought about it before embarking on it.

  3. If KANU had set the nation on fire by breaking up the nation l hope there wouldn’t be a nation the ArchBishop will be referring to today. I hope it isn’t that ArchBishop onaiyekan isn’t endorsing or has endorsed KANU and IPOB philosophy.

  4. Muhammadu buhari is a stupid man illitrate

  5. Increase Joe Stephen

    Archbishop, is dis the right thing to do as a spiritual leader? Castigating the president instead of praying for Nigeria.
    Gone are d days of Archbishop Benson Idahosa. Missing God’s great general

  6. Nobi small embarrassment

  7. Which nation? Old stories we are not one, and no body loves that country including you, but hypocrisy and pretence is one big disease with nigeria suffering masses, my wish each day is to see yoruba and hausa fulani cousins together as one country, then we will see if you will last up to one year as a country. Keep deceiving yourself

    I doubt if some of us know the gravity of not respecting rules of law. For one to be tyrant or dictator, what qualifies him? Take it or leave it, pmb is a dictator.

  11. And you are more learned and experienced than the two high judges that set him free from all charges before buhari bought john tsoho, supporting evil bcos of religion, tribe, ethnicity and political parties are the biggest problems facing that country, and we are not one people, is obvious

  16. You still don’t understand the role of bishops. They speak the truth fearlessly. Read your bible Joe, think about what got John the baptize killed

    What crime did Nnamdi kanu really commit?… That he called buhari names, or that he asked for the secession of the igbos? Now before you are quick to answer the question, answer these ones first: is Nnamdi kanu the first person to show his disdain for a particular government? What about those who have done similar things?
    Do you remember Ango Abdullahi? He called for war against southern Nigeria before the 2015 elections, because he was scared Jonathan was going to win it. Before the 2011 elections also, Buhari himself made culpable comments when he said something about soaking the dogs and monkeys in blood. Tompolo and Asari dokubo have also threatened the government, but none of these people are in jail. So, what makes Nnamdi kanu’s case unique??
    Anybody calling for him to remain in prison is only a bloody hypocrite, and soon all hypocrites will run and hide.

  44. Prince Prempeh Agyemang

    If he doesn’t respect the law of the land even the court of law. Why Nigerians are sitting down quietly for the President to be immune with Law that offers him power and authority. This is bad precedent for the rule of law. If he doesn’t respect the court order hence he is preparing himself for impeachment. However it’s Africa, precisely Nigeria where government officials and top hierarchy are above the laws of the state. Africa leaders must wake up and allow the law to work. Development, economy freedom comes through respecting the constitution and human rights. It’s ashamed. I like Buhari but this type of action is disgrace to his government. He should wake up from his slumber.

  58. Togetherness is not by force. can’t Nigeria be fine without biafrans?

  59. Fredrick Lugard brought us together during the amalgamation 1914 but before that Biafra has being in existence time immemorial so IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu mission is to restore Biafra and there is nothing can stop it.@bayo

  60. You will expect an Ibo man who calls himself “The man of God ” to alter these misguided words.You People agitating for BIAFRA state have not learnt a lesson.Cardinal: stay away from politics.Tend to your flock so that they don’t go astray and end up being locked up.

  61. Brown envelop no dey again

  62. I want you to prove Biafra wrong by answering these questions.
    (1) Do you have light in your village ?
    (2) Do you have running water in your village ?
    (3) Do you have good road to your village ?
    (4) Do you have good Hospital and why politicians never go there for treatment ?
    (5) Do you have standard University and why your Politicians send their kids abroad ?
    (6) Do you have a Job or Is there any Job opportunity in your place ?
    (7) Is there any security ?
    (8) Even some people that are working, are their salaries paid and how much is their salary ?
    (9) Who can tell me what he or she has gained as a Nigerian since you were born ?
    (10) Can we be sincere to each other, Do we love our selves? I mean Hausas, Biafrans and Yorubas? and tell me our relationship in nature.
    (11) Can someone tell me the most tribe that has been killed and who killed them? And also tell me the most hated tribe and who hate them and why ?
    (12) Can someone tell me if we Biafrans had killed anyone from Hausas or Yorubas before ? and have we been killed by them before and why ?
    (13) Which people provided the most number of Presidents in Nigeria since 1960 ?
    (14) Which tribe are the killers in Nigeria ?
    (15) Which tribe are the poorest in Nigeria ?
    (16) Which people have the key positions in Nigeria ?
    (17) Which people are desperate to take power in Nigeria ?
    (18) Which people have the most oil block in Nigeria ?
    (19) Which people have the most compound fools and illiterates in Nigeria ?
    (20) Can you give your life to defend Nigeria as your country ?
    You claim you have the highest population yet you are afraid to have your own country.You claim the Igbos are the problem of Nigeria and you hate them with passion yet you don’t want to let them go.You claim the Igbos have dominated your land yet you are still willing to sale your lands and properties to them.You claim you are born to rule yet you still want us to believe in one Nigeria.You claim we are one yet our religion,tradition and other ways of life are far different.You claim we are brothers yet Igbos are the first to be targeted whenever there is uprising.You claim agitation for Biafra is illegal yet you don’t want to address the injustice against the Igbos. You claim the Igbos are not united yet you are killing and bombing yourselves.You said no victor no vanquished yet you still make the Igbos to feel the pain of the civil war.You claim Igbos refused to vote for APC yet you want democracy to survive in Nigeria.Igbos have largely contributed to the development of this nation yet they are not appreciated.These have made the actualisation of sovereign state of Biafra inevitable and no hand is large enough to cover the rising sun because we are the children of the most high. In Biafra we hope. in Biafra we believe.

  67. Sacaramento Sacramento

    Hi is a disgrace to all Nigerian

  68. No Cardinal, your wrong. GMB is a global embarrassment. You have to give it to him, he has passed the national level.

  69. Terrorisim is ISLAM and ISLAM is terrorisim, they are neck deep from inception. The very foundations of Islam are built on violence and that word VIOLENCE is the cardinal principal that Mohammed formed islam with. It is not a religion but a demonized cult used to acertain the evil precepts of Mohammed.
    Forget All this trash that it is a religion of peace, if so how many of the so called scholars have come openly to dis associate with the word Islamic state and jihad. This two words are not suppose to exist if truly they tell us it is a peaceful religion.

  70. Prince Bruno Maxwell

    Buhari should face the real problem and stop acting childish,did the man is holding worst then the stuff going on now?? No he should focus on the insurgency and not traveling wasting the money on flights
