I’ll resign from APC if Tinubu disrespects Catholic Church – Orji Kalu

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu stated he would resign from the All Progressives Congress (APC) if President Bola Tinubu showed disrespect toward the opposition or the Catholic Church. This came amid controversy surrounding Tinubu's recent meeting with Catholic bishops, particularly after Cardinal John Onaiyekan expressed concerns about Nigeria's economic situation. Kalu defended Tinubu, asserting that the president did not insult the bishops and had no need to apologize. He emphasized that Tinubu maintains a positive relationship with the Catholic Church and that the bishops' discussions with the president were public and not necessarily representative of the entire Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria. Onaiyekan reportedly conveyed to journalists that the bishops warned Tinubu that Nigeria is 'bleeding' due to economic struggles, but Tinubu disagreed with their assessment.
