The Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah,on Sunday has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari for reneging on his 2015 promises.
Kukah made this disclosure in his Christmas message, saying Buhari’s ineptitude has plunged the country into abject pains.
The renowned cleric, however, applauded Buhari’s aggressive infrastructural investments, admitting improvement majorly in the area of road construction.
‘’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, he revealed.
Kukah noted that most Nigerians do not enjoy a fraction of what the president get in terms of health care.
“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, he further explained
‘’In my Christmas message last year, I pointed out the fact that you had breached the Constitution by your failure to honour and adhere to the federal character provisions of our Constitution. The evidence is all before us all.’’

The bishop recalled that the Buhari regime has similarly failed to rescue scores of school children held captive in the forests by insurgents and bandits, stating that Nigeria is bearing scars and deep sorrow.
Speaking on favoritism, the priest accused Buhari of delegating power to incompetent individuals who treated it as their family property.
“Nepotism is a cancer which has consumed us in the last few years. We have paid the price of nepotism entrusting power into the hands of mediocres who operate as a cult and see power purely as an extension of the family heirloom,’’ he complained.
