President Bola Tinubu says his political opponents who are “crying wolf” about alleged favouritism ahead of the 2027 elections are “afraid of their own shadows and uncertainty in the companies they keep”.
Tinubu spoke on Tuesday when he received the leadership of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), led by Matthew Ndagoso, its president, at the State House in Abuja.
Ndagoso, the archbishop of Kaduna, attended the meeting with 19 other CBCN leaders.
Tinubu said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is neutral and noting that all political parties have equal opportunities.
“The opportunities are equal. INEC is neutral. They have never intimidated anyone,” Tinubu was quoted as saying in a statement issued on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, the presidential spokesperson.
“If political opponents are crying wolf, maybe they are afraid of their own shadows and uncertainty in the companies they keep, not me.”
