Nuhu Ribadu is so incompetent that he misleads President Tinubu – Onaiyekan

…We Raised Issue Of Insecurity At The Villa & The NSA Started Talking About Progress Made

John Cardinal Onaiyekan, Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Diocese of Abuja, has recounted a meeting at Aso Rock where he and other religious leaders raised concerns about insecurity, only to be met with a response from the National Security Adviser that left them questioning whether they were talking about the same country.

Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Onaiyekan described the exchange with visible disbelief. “We once went to the Villa to speak. The president gave us an audience to speak with. And we raised the issue of insecurity on the roads, and to our surprise, the National Security Adviser started talking about how much progress they had made and how safe the country now is. We were all looking at each other, and we were asking: is that the same country we are living in?” he said.

Archbishop Onaiyekan argued that no Nigerian leader should be comfortable with the current state of affairs, and he issued a pointed challenge to those in power.

He said no leader should claim the country is safe if they cannot drive to their own village without a security convoy. He insisted that the daily reality of killings and the vulnerability of ordinary villagers were proof that Nigeria was far from where it needed to be.
