GOD IS WATCHING YOU – CARDINAL ONAIYEKAN TELLS TINUBU TO SHUN NEPOTISM

The Emeritus Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, has called on President Bola Tinubu to stop rewarding party politicians with high political offices.

The respected cleric made the allegations of nepotism against the president when he appeared as a guest on a Channels Television programme on Sunday.

He urged President Tinubu to switch from campaign mode to proper governance and serve every part of the country equally irrespective of their choices during the election.

“The whole system whereby high political offices are given as a reward for those who were political activists, I don’t believe that that is the best way to move the nation forward.

“I would say, now that you have been declared the President of Nigeria, sit down comfortably on that chair. As a religious leader, I would say God has allowed you on that chair.

“If God puts you there, you must then know that he is watching you and that He will be asking you what you did on that chair,” he said.
