Nigeria, Aug. 5 -- Former Minister of Transportation and African Democratic Congress (ADC) vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has criticised the Presidency over its response to comments by the Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja, John Onaiyekan, a cardinal, saying the attacks amount to an insult on the Catholic Church and the Christian faith.

Mr Amaechi spoke on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme aired on Tuesday, where he defended Mr Onaiyekan's comments following a recent meeting between President Bola Tinubu and Catholic bishops.

The cleric had, in a media interview, revealed the discussion between President Tinubu and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) during a meeting at the State House, Abuja.
