The 2027 Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, has accused President Bola Tinubu and his aides of insulting the Christian faith.
Amaechi, during an appearance on Channels Television on Tuesday, vowed that if the President wants to go low in his political dealings, he is also ready to respond in kind.
He, however, said because he is still mourning the death of his mother, he won’t delve into politics or give responses to other political statements.
Naija News reports that the former Governor of Rivers State spoke against the backdrop of the recent exchange of words between the presidency and Archbishop Emeritus, Catholic Diocese of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, over current happenings in the country.
Amaechi, however, insisted that if it was the Sultan of Sokoto that made such statements, the Tinubu government would not have attacked him.
He therefore called on President Tinubu and his aides to stop insulting Catholic Bishops and the Christian faith in general, stressing that such is unacceptable.
“Whatever the President (Tinubu) wants to do in the field, we will do in the field. For me, I’m not worried about what he wants to do whether he will wrestle or won’t wrestle, we meet in the field. That is not the issue. The issue is that what the President and his men are doing is insulting to my faith,” he said.

Amechi is an idiot that doesn’t know what is doing . I mean if the idiot wants to come out for Jagaban he should not use the catholic man as opportunity.
Amechi is a madman….how will you compare bishop to sultan or king
This news is quite interesting a bit
Jesus Christ did not involve in politics. When Satan offered him the rulership of the world he flatly refused it. So who are these so called religious leaders imitating? They make their own doctrines instead of just following God’s word. It’s shameful indeed.
Mr. Rotimi Amaechi let’s be guided here and don’t bring religion into wrong statement made by your so call Daddy G. O 😅 Channel your campaign and Emotional Canvass ideology to another method to buy votes from Nigerians.

Tinubu is a basket of disappointment to Nigeria. Nigerian government fears criticism and hates realism. If only our votes will truly count then he’s out of Aso rock villa already. He’s government has brought shame to us intentionally and brought fear of terrorism and banditry internally and it’s only a fool that will deny this bold truth. Yahoo Yahoo government….
Am waiting and praying to see a president that will use less than 4years to reform Nigeria that is so puriouse and corrupt.
