Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has again berated President Muhammadu Buhari’s government for nepotism and corruption, saying the administration will leave Nigerians far more vulnerable than it met it.
In his Christmas message yesterday, Bishop Kukah said the Buhari government made lofty promises but could not deliver on them.
“It is sad that despite your lofty promises, you are leaving us far more vulnerable than when you came, that the corruption we thought would be fought has become a leviathan, and sadly, a consequence of a government marked by nepotism”, the cleric said.
Kukah further said “We know that you are healthier now than you were before. We can see it in the spring in your steps, the thousands of miles you have continued to cover as you travel abroad. May God give you more years of good health. “However, I also wish that millions of our citizens had a chance to enjoy just a fraction of their own health by a measurable improvement in the quality of health care in our country”.
The cleric has been consistent in his scathing criticism of the Buhari administration. In response, many government agents and apologists have vilified him for his troubles.
Recall that President Buhari’s media aide, Garba Shehu, labelled him a Buhari hater in the aftermath of the cleric’s strong-worded homily last Christmas.
