Bishop
of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, has has bemoaned the nepotism which he
says has characterized President Muhammadu Buhari government and warned that
although Christians will not fight back, but “God does not sleep”.
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’, on Friday.
According
to Bishop Kukah, “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 institutionalize 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.”
