Mr Kalu said the bishops gave the president an honest assessment of the country’s situation, describing them as the conscience of the nation. Defending the bishops, Mr Kalu said their advice was offered in the national interest and should not be interpreted as an attack on the president or his administration. “The Catholic bishops’ visit to President Tinubu is a good one.
