The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Reverend Matthew Hassan Kukah has replied presidential spokespersons, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu after they asked him to join politics following his Easter message to President Muhammadu Buhari.
In an interview with Arise Tv, today, Kukah continued to blast Buhari, saying he has done a terrible job over the past 7 years.
Recall that in his Easter message titled, ‘To mend a broken nation: The Easter metaphor’, Kukah had alleged that every aspect of life in the country had been destroyed while corruption was enthroned under President Muhammadu Buhari.
The bishop, who also criticised the president over his government’s “inability to tackle insecurity and corruption”, further claimed that President Buhari had divided Nigerians on the basis of ethnicity, religion, and region.
In a press release by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, he said that “For a man who has been spreading hate for decades, nothing new in the homily, except for the fact that while millions of Christians were remembering the Lord’s crucifixion on Friday, His descent on Saturday, His resurrection on Sunday, and subsequent appearance to his disciples, Bishop Matthew Kukah was playing politics. From his pulpit he devoted his Easter message not to Christ’s death and rebirth so Man might be saved – but to damning the government in the most un-Christian terms.
The man of God further asked the President to have a rethink and do the right thing for which millions voted him to power.
