Catholic Bishop Said President Should Ask Religious Leaders For Help. by tonyadex(m): 12:30am On Jan 24, 2016
Cardinal John Onaiyekan, the Catholic Bishop of Abuja Arch Diocese, has said that President Muhammadu should ask religious leaders for help if he wants to receive success.
Onaiyekan noted this on January 23, during the priestly ordination of nine priests in the diocese.
The famous cleric state that the change mantra of the All Progressives Congress government can only become a success if the administration gives a forum for the active cooperation of religious organisations in the current war against corruption.
He said: “There should be such arrangement whereby government officials and religious people can sit down and see how we can all contribute to the fight against corruption.
“For the moment I don’t think we have gotten the forum for that kind of cooperation.
“If we you want people’s heart to change you have to reach out to us, we are the experts in that,” the Cardinal said.
Meanwhile, Onaiyekan stated that religious leaders have a moral responsibility to assist in the fight against corruption.
“Although we don’t have to wait for them to tell us, but my own believe is that if there is a conscious effort to work together, the impact will be more serious,” the cleric said.
“Nine ordinations in one cathedral at once is a big news, even in the big churches of the world.
“We are among the front liners in the league of nations of the world, in terms of faith,” Oniayekan noted.
He advised the newly appointed priests to stand out, in a world slowly floating towards materialism.
“Even if the world is standing for materialism, the priest must stand out, so that other people can see them and emulate, and so that homily can preach louder,” the bishop said.
Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan recently stated that Nigerian president remains a dictator.
During Buhari’s military regime, almost 500 people were jailed for corruption and wasting taxpayers’ money. However, the president many times restated that he had turned to democracy.

A man who threatens to sack his ministers for daring to offer him good counsel is too senile and rigid for our collective good.

The stubborn fly that fails to heed warnings always ends up with a dead body in the grave.
