The Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Femi Adesina, has absolved his principal, the President, Muhammadu Buhari, from criticism that the President’s ruling
style had contributed to the division in the country.
Recall that the Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of
Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, on Sunday, heavily criticised Buhari over insecurity,
corruption, and division in Nigeria.
Kukah made his complaints known in his Easter Message on
titled, ‘To mend a broken nation: The Easter metaphor’.
According to the bishop, every aspect of life in Nigeria has
been destroyed while corruption is enthroned.
He said, “It is hard to know whether the problem is that
those in power do not hear, see, feel, know, or just don’t care. Either way,
from this crossroad, we must make a choice, to go forward, turn left or right
or return home. None of these choices is easy, yet, guided by the light of the
risen Christ, we can reclaim our country from its impending slide to anarchy.
“The challenge of fixing this broken nation is enormous and,
as I have said, requires joint efforts. With everything literally broken down,
our country has become one big emergency national hospital with full occupancy.
Our individual hearts are broken. Our family dreams are broken. Homes are
broken. Churches, Mosques, and infrastructure are broken. Our educational
system is broken. Our children’s lives and future are broken. Our politics is
broken. Our economy is broken. Our energy system is broken. Our security system
is broken. Our Roads and Rails are broken. Only corruption is alive and well,”
the message read in part.
But in a veil response to Kukah’s harsh criticism of
Buhari’s regime on Monday, the presidential spokesman said it was surprising
that those who are guilty of creating division with mouths in Nigeria are the
ones accusing the President of the same crime they committed.
In a tweet on his verified Twitter handle, Adesina wrote,
“Those who divided Nigeria with their mouths, with evil, unguarded speaking,
are the ones now accusing President Buhari. How sad! Their wicked intentions
shall not come to pass.”
