The Confederation of All APC have reacted to the comment made by the Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, claiming President Tinubu is not yet Nigeria’s president until the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal determines.
The group, who spoke on Sunday through its Director-General, Muhammad Kialani, during a press conference in Kaduna State, while condemning Onaiyekan’s statement, said the clergyman ought to be preaching love and peace instead of acting as an agent to destabilise the country.
Kialani warned Onaiyekan to watch what he’s saying, so as not to create disorderliness in Nigeria, adding that the group will not take his word lightly.
He said: “We woke up today and we saw on social media that those who are supposed to bring unity in diversity in this country are the ones trying to bring war. They are the ones trying to bring crisis.
“We don’t expect Archbishop John Onaiyekan to say that Tinubu is not yet Nigeria’s president. He said the election is not yet over and that we don’t have a president untill the court said so.
“We, The Confederation of All APC Support Group nationwide, condemned this in totality. We are not happy. Nigerians are not happy.
“We thought this man is a Yoruba man and our President, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, is a Yoruba man but he is castigating him. During the election, more than 80 per cent of the Yorubas didn’t vote for him, even the Afenifere.
“The likes of Pastor Tunde Bakare, Chief Bode George and the rest of them. They said that they don’t want him. We brought this president.
“Nobody can remove him. Only God can remove him. We have voted. Nigerians have spoken on the 25th of February, 2023.
“We are calling on all Nigerians not to support this move. Finally, we calling Archbishop John Onaiyekan to come and join us in politics. Let him leave the pulpit there. He should join us to see how we play politics in this country but not in his house where he is being comfortable and where people are using him to distabilise us. We will not take it lightly. We are watching”
