The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto archdiocese, Mathew Kukah, has described the government of President Muhammadu Buhari as the most nepotistic and narcissistic government in Nigeria’s history.
Mr Kukah made this remark in an address delivered during the burial ceremony of a Catholic seminarian from the Sokoto diocese, Micheal Nnadi.
Mr Kukah, whose speech was shared with PREMIUM TIMES by the Catholic secretariat, recounted the pre-election promises made by President Buhari at the Chatham House, London, and expressed regret at what he described as the apparent disappointment of Nigerians over the current state of affairs, especially with regards to the nation’s security.
“Despite running the most nepotistic and narcissistic government in known history, there are no answers to the millions of young children on the streets in northern Nigeria, the north still has the worst indices of poverty, insecurity, stunting, squalor and destitution,” Mr Kukah said. The bishop, who heads the Catholic community in Sokoto State, said the “nepotistic conducts” of President Buhari has resulted in a “convulsion of the noble religion of Islam.”
According to the bishop, the sad events across the country are the results of Nigeria’s years of “hypocrisy, duplicity, fabricated integrity, false piety, empty morality, fraud and Pharisaism.” “Are we to deny the evidence before us, of kidnappers separating Muslims from infidels or compelling Christians to convert or die? If your son steals from me, do you solve the problem by saying he also steals from you? Again, the Sultan got it right: let the northern political elite who have surrendered the space claim it back immediately.”Mr Kukah called on Nigerian Christians to return the hatred of the terrorist with love by praying for their conversion, as Jesus Christ instructed.
