The emeritus Archbishop of the Catholic Diocese of Abuja, His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has disclosed that, he will not be voting for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, because of the party’s decision to fly a same faith ticket ahead of the 2023 general elections.

He however did not disclose who he will vote for during the presidential election.

He made the disclosure while delivering a talk entitled: “The Church as an Agent of Dialogue and Reconciliation in Our Community in Quest for a Just and Peaceful Social Order”, at the on-going First Synod of the Catholic Diocese of Osogbo, holding in St. Kizito’s Pastoral Centre, Ede, Osun State.

The Cardinal said the ruling APC would have to accept responsibility for the decision they took over their candidate, stressing that the Catholic Church is not partisan, but being alive to the country’s diversity.

Onaiyekan said his decision not to vote for the APC was personal and stressed that every Christian, like other Nigerians, would have to make their own decision on the political party to vote for.

According to him the Catholic Church would not direct its members to vote for a particular political party, adding that the decision of the APC to float a same faith ticket was the best way it wanted to win election and that Nigerians too had a choice to either vote for the party or not.
