Catholic Priests Not Like ‘Fake Bishops’, Atiku Blasts Presidency’s Attack On Onaiyekan Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the Presidency’s attack on the Catholic Church and John Cardinal Onaiyekan, accusing the President Bola Tinubu administration of growing intolerant of dissent and uncomfortable truths. In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu on Sunday, Atiku said the Presidency chose intimidation and political attacks instead of reflecting on the substance of the cleric’s message. Catholic bishops had recently had an engagement with the president, where the latter defended his record and the independence of the electoral umpire. However, the cardinal in a television interview on Friday said the Catholic bishops told the president that the country is bleeding and the economy is not helping poor citizens. According to him, Tinubu and his officials present at the meeting were “not l...

 FIFA asked NFF not to tell me I was under investigation – Siasia opens up Former head coach of the Super Eagles, Samson Siasia, has hit out at the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, for their lackadaisical attitude during the period when FIFA was investigating him for match-fixing. Siasia was found guilty of bribery and alleged involvement in match-fixing. The world football governing body hit Siasia with a life ban from all football-related activities in 2019. But upon appeal, the punishment was reduced to five years. In a recent interview with Athlist, the 56-year-old whose ban ends in a few months, accused the NFF of failing to help him during the FIFA investigations. Siasia said: “Nigeria abandoned me at that time of need, that’s my own take on how this thing played out. “It’s an allegation, they said bribery. What is bribery? Is it not when money changes hands? Was there any proof of that? There was none. “I spoke with someone that was trying to hire me as a coach in Australia...
