  •  Nigerian Bishop Kukah Knocks President Buhari Over Worsening Insecurity
    Apr 27 2022
    The Diocese of Sokoto Bishop, Matthew Kukah, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari over the worsening insecurity in the country.
    In his Easter message on Sunday, the vocal cleric said the Buhari-led government has polarised the nation into ethnic and religious lines and has slid into hibernation mode.
    Kukah said the country had been divided by politicians and evildoers who do to want the country to grow and develop, adding that it seems like the presidency does not know that Nigeria is troubled.
    He asserted that the greatest challenge for Nigeria was not even the 2023 general elections, but the process of reconstructing the nation and reconciling the people.
