The General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries
International, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has advised the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led administration to focus on the fight against insurgency and not
critics.
Apostle Suleman gave the advice after Presidency lambasted
the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah over his 2021 Easter
homily, saying it is an ungodly attempt to politicise the nation’s security.
Kukah, in his Easter message, had said the greatest tragedy
of Buhari’s government is the death of empathy, adding that the government’s
clay-footed fight against corruption had not moved the needle of transparency
forward.
He said Nigeria, being the poverty capital of the world came
with its rewards such as banditry, violence, death, sorrow, blood, poverty,
misery, and tears.
Kukah also said Nigeria’s leaders would manufacture consent
by creating imaginary enemies, setting citizens against one another by
deploying religion, ethnicity, region, and other platforms while appealing to
the base emotions of patriotism.
In response to Kukah’s message, the President’s Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu said the Catholic
Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese, said things that were inexplicable.
According to the presidential aide, it is wrong for Kukah to
have stated that ”the Boko Haram terrorism is worse than it was in 2015.”
Shehu also knocked Bishop Kukah, saying he didn’t speak like
a man of God.
However, Apostle Suleman in his reaction on Monday said it
baffles the mind how the presidency keeps mum when Nigerians are being killed
but very swift when it’s time to respond to critics.
Apostle Suleman said: “You are tempted to think we don’t
have leadership in Nigeria when people are been killed.
They appear so helpless in the face of the insurgency. But
as soon someone speaks truth to power, their swift response and reactions amaze
you. PLEASE, RESPOND TO BANDITS, NOT CRITICS.”
