They didn't deceive him at all. They just did him 'The more you look the less you see'

They actually deceived him..

Not a single living person in PDP is fit to lick the boots of Cardinal Okogie who Is well known for standing up for the right thing.

oluwaSmith1:
come to think of it, what really concerned clergy men or religious leaders in politics?

Cant they stay off politics?

Who should they leave it for? You?

It is possible to comment on political matters and remain honorable. Any Nigerian taxpayer has a right to comment on Nigerian politics.

“Cardinal Okogie should please maintain his role as a religious leader. He is someone who is respected; he should be wary of coming into the murky waters of politics. What has happened has happened,” Gani told Punch.

The points I like here. Religious and traditional leaders should steer clear of politics ans not be biased to their subjects.

Secondly, elections have come and gone. Nigerians should move forward. Like he said 'what has happened has happened'.

don't really see anything wrong the clergy man said...they decieve n lied to him period.....

Their SCAM d idiot, yoruba get sense dye

DONSMITH123:
The Peoples Democratic Party has replied a former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Cardinal Anthony Okogie, over his comment that Yoruba monarchs deceived former President Goodluck Jonathan during the election.

The party was reacting to a recent interview granted to a national daily by Okogie, where he said the picture of Jonathan squatting in the midst of some Yoruba traditional rulers, who were pointing sticks at him, was deceptive.

He had said, “Did you see the photograph I saw; you saw him in the midst of Obas; you saw the way they pointed their sticks (at him). If you are a Yoruba man, do they (monarchs) pray with that kind of thing? No way! ‘You want prayer? We will give you prayer.’ This means they were deceptive.”

Reacting to the statement, the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Lagos State, Mr. Taofik Gani, flayed the cleric, describing the accusation as a deliberate attempt to embarrass the person of Jonathan and his party.

Gani noted that it would have been a disrespect to the monarchs if Jonathan had visited their domains without paying a courtesy visit on the royal fathers.

“With due regard to Cardinal Okogie, it may be coincidental that he is a progressive but a hidden politician in religion, who believes that the people in the APC are progressives. But I want to say without any iota of contradiction that it has always been convenient for Cardinal Okogie to support the APC and we know all these people. We also have them in the PDP who support us.

“So, we wouldn’t blame Cardinal Okogie. We have professionals, activists, religious leaders, who are also sympathetic to the PDP cause. What Okogie said, therefore, was deliberate; just to embarrass the PDP and the former President. The royal fathers have their traditional role which is not to have anybody as beloved. Everybody in their dynasty is regarded as their subjects.

“That Jonathan accorded them that regard of being royal fathers and that he consequently got their blessings was not wrong of the ex-President. On the contrary, they (the APC) were malicious against some royal fathers, which the PDP cautioned against.”

The PDP spokesperson further noted that President Muhammadu Buhari had also visited some royal fathers.

The party, therefore, queried Okogie for not criticising the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, for supporting a candidate of the APC during the last governorship election in Lagos State.

“We know the role the Oba of Lagos played. Is Cardinal Okogie oblivious of that fact? Why didn’t he generalise that all the Obas misled all the politicians? In fact, the xenophobic statement made by the Oba of Lagos could have destroyed the country.

“It is now the same xenophobia that the APC is quick to impose on our leader, Bode George. But it was the APC who influenced the verbal attacks through the Oba of Lagos, who was an obvious member of the APC by his actions.

“Cardinal Okogie should please maintain his role as a religious leader. He is someone who is respected; he should be wary of coming into the murky waters of politics. What has happened has happened,” Gani told Punch.

No they didn't decieve him, they aided his failure....

See who is talking. Is it not the same Cardinal Okogie who was cameraled making love to a prostitute in an hotel? Nigerians should not take him seriously . Pretender who is an APC apologist. Has nothing religious to preach.

God bless you my brother

amen.

DONSMITH123:

May your tea never lack milk

amen.

The maga was scammed.

Some jobless dropouts are shouting that Nigeria should split. Poverty has a way of deforming some people mentally.

disumusa:
most time these ibos reasoning upside down, do we need to educate any reasonable person that yorubas are not in suport of gej govt.

What brought Igbos into this now? Is cardinal Okogie an Igbo man? Or to you anyone not bearing Musa or Ade must be Igbo?

Themaingate:
HE WAS NOT DECEIVED BUT SCAM

Did the obas command your vote?
If not, tell us how he was scammed.

He lost an election in which there can be only one winner.

When a king in yoruba point their staff at you, it means they are cursing you not praying for you. So the Cardinal was right. He must have read a lot about the Yoruba culture. The Oba's pray with horsetail not Staff.

Party priest politicians!
God is sharpening your canes small small!

yorubatic:

Are we admitting cowardice? Do you love the ibos that much? Does it mean we can't do without ibos?

Are you confirming that ibos are superior as the early missionary whites said? My brother this cowardice of us...shame

with your comment so far you are Igbo.
#coward.

Be proud enough to claim the Igbo that you are instead of fooling yourself here on Nairaland claiming Yoruba

If Yoruba decides to have Odua nation it wouldn't take them long. Everything nor be by chest beating or gra gra but wisdom.
