THE Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja Catholic Archdiocese, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has insisted that the 2023 general elections were rigged.

Speaking on a television’s programme, Onaiyekan, while reacting to the 2023 presidential poll, said those involved in manipulating the outcome of the elections know themselves.

He said: “I am 80, so I am not going anywhere. I am still dreaming that before I go to paradise, I should see a better Nigeria, and I believe it is possible.

“Those who rigged the election know they did it. Those who refused to allow the people’s will to prevail, they know. And the wonderful thing is that God himself knows them. Even the court may not know, but God knows them. And they know themselves.

“The more we mention God is the more we should be on guard not to be using the name of God in vain. There are countries that did not want to mention God, but they are running their affairs well.

“But if we decide to keep mentioning God, then we must run our affairs according to the will of God.”
