Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, has lamented nepotism that characterised the regime of the President, Muhammadu Buhari.
He explained that there could have been a coup or war in the
country if a non-Nothern Muslim becomes a president and does a fraction of what
Buhari did.
The Bishop made this known in his 2020 Christmas message
titled, ‘A nation in search of vindication’.
He said, “This government owes the nation an explanation as to where it is headed as we seem to journey into darkness. The spilling of this blood must be related to a more sinister plot that is beyond our comprehension. Are we going to remain hogtied by these evil men or are they gradually becoming part of a larger plot to seal the fate of our country?
“President Buhari deliberately sacrificed the dreams of
those who voted for him to what seemed like a programme to stratify and
institutionalise northern hegemony by reducing others in public life to second
class status. He has pursued this self-defeating and alienating policy at the
expense of greater national cohesion.
“Every honest Nigerian knows that there is no way any
non-Northern Muslim President could have done a fraction of what President
Buhari has done by his nepotism and gotten away with it.
“There would have been a military coup a long time ago or we
would have been at war. The President may have concluded that Christians will
do nothing and will live with these actions.
“He may be right and we Christians cannot feel sorry that we
have no pool of violence to draw from or threaten our country. However, God
does not sleep. We can see from the inexplicable dilemma of his North.”
There had been outrage over
lopsided-appointments in the country under Buhari’s regime.
In June, eminent socio-cultural leaders from southern and middle-belt
Nigeria sued the President for N50 billion over marginalisation of the people
of the region in the appointments to security, quasi-security agencies and
“strategic agencies” of government.
