Former Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Cardinal
Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, has again advised
President Goodluck Jonathan to forget about a
second term in office because he does not
deserve it.
Speaking with SaharaReporters late yesterday
from Nigeria, the retired cardinal, a founding
member and former leader of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN), recalled a
conversation he had with Mr. Jonathan while he
was still deputy. According to him, when the
president asked him for prayers, he had insisted
that Mr. Jonathan should first specify his prayer
intentions. He said the president seemed at first
shocked, but reluctantly revealed that he
intended to run for office again.
Disclosing that the encounter happened in the
presence of four other people, Cardinal Okojie
said he told Jonathan that he could win but
would not govern peacefully.

The cardinal, who was known for his fiery
outspokenness against both abusive and corrupt
military dictatorships as well as corrupt elected
officials, stated that Mr. Jonathan was
surrounded by sycophants who keep misleading
him. Describing the recent formal adoption of Mr.
Jonathan as the sole candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) as dangerous, the
prelate urged the president to look at Nigeria’s
history and see what has happened to sole party
candidates in the past.
Turning his attention to CAN, Cardinal Okojie
said the religious organization had become
bastardized. He accused the group’s former
leader, Reverend Sunday Mbang, of turning CAN
it into an appendage of President Olusegun
Obasanjo’s administration. Even so, he added
that whatever Mbang did pales into
insignificance compared with what Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor, CAN’s current leader, has done with
the organization.
Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie
Asked if he was troubled by recent attacks on
him by some hirelings of President Jonathan and
Oritsejafor, Cardinal Okojie dismissed them. He
added that, having been to the frontline during
the Nigerian civil war as a chaplain, verbal
attacks did not bother him in the least. saharareporters.com/2014/09/29/jonathan-should-learn-history-forget-2nd-term-cardinal-okojie-warns-again
