Catholic Bishops Unleashed Catholics Against Yahaya Bello

"Catholic all over the nation will deal with him" deal with him’

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) on Sunday lambasted Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, for attacking the body after its visit to President Muhammadu Buhari
The clerics last week met with Buhari in a close door meeting, where they told him their findings regarding his leadership, they alleged bad governance and imbalance in the system.

The obvious visit did not sit well with the Kogi State governor who reacted to the said visit after the juma’at service on Friday

He said those who had looted the country’s funds were angry because sources of their free money had been blocked by the current government... directly calling the team of Catholic bishops looters.

Reacting to the statement credited to the governor, the CBCN President and Archbishop of Jos, Ignatius Kaigama, said millions of Catholic members would deal with Bello.


Read him.

“I don’t even want to dignify that reckless accusation with an answer”, he told Thisday.

“If the president met us, understood us and was courteous to us, why will a governor come up with such generalisation, a very wild generalisation, and rubbished everyone?

“Let our people deal with him, and we have millions of our people to tackle the governor.

“I don’t think any bishop will comment on such statement that has no prudence.”
