Do Not Go Into Politics If You Can’t Develop Nigeria Through Education, Security And Others – Cardinal Onaiyekan

The former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan has lamented the unchecked security situation in the country, particularly banditry and kidnappings along the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway. Onaiyekan spoke in Abuja today at a conference on migration, themed ‘Action against irregular migration of Nigerians’.

The cleric warned people who have no vision or plan to develop the country to steer clear of politics. “If you have no idea of how to develop Nigeria through education, security, amongst others then, do not go into politics. This same kidnapping issue happened along Lokoja-Kabba road some years back; I could not travel then.

I could not understand that 30km of the road cannot be policed. It just gives you a very sad impression that we are really at the mercy of the criminals. So you get ready to pay them, this is not the way to live” he said.

On irregular migration, the cleric noted that migration is a fundamental right of every human being, but added that it must be done in ways that would not violate the laws of the host nation.
