Kukah attacks Buhari, says President made Nigerians more vulnerable
Kukah said Presidential spokesmen have failed to reply him with facts for speaking on the failures of their principal or speaking on the various attacks on Christians in the North.
Naija News reports that the fiery cleric stated this in his 2022 Christmas Message released on Sunday and titled, ‘Nigeria: Let Us Turn A New Page.’
He said: “If they accuse me of stating inconvenient facts/truths, then, they can at least give the facts their interpretations. For example, who will quarrel with the fact that our glory has departed as a country? Where is our voice respected today even within the African continent which looks up to us for leadership?
“Is being the poverty capital of the world and one of the most violent states in the world an achievement? And our suffocating internal and international debts? And you do not think our glory has departed?”
Kukah also cautioned politicians against fanning the embers of hatred and divisions and asked them to promote unity among Nigerians.
The cleric also cautioned Nigerian leaders to manage Nigeria’s diversity, adding that nepotism is a cancer that has consumed the country in the last few years.
He added: “I plead with you to co-operate and collaborate with institutions which are tasked with the responsibilities for these elections. Do not further fan the embers of hatred and divisions. Seek to create a vision that can unite our country.
“We have paid the price of nepotism entrusting power into the hands of mediocre who operate as a cult and see power purely as an extension of the family heirloom.”
Kukah said Nigeria has become a tale of two cities with wars between the rich and the poor and fixing our country and getting it back requires courage, honesty, truth, humility, trust and firm commitment”.
He appealed to all Nigerians who have been given custody of public trust and commonwealth to rise up to the duties for which they have been so handsomely rewarded.
Kukah had alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari by his policies had made Nigerians more vulnerable.
In his Christmas message to Nigerians, Mr Kukah also faulted the anti-corruption credentials of President Buhari.
“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.

Mr Kukah, who referenced his previous public statements that criticized the Nigerian leader, said Mr Buhari has succeeded in splitting the country.
“Clearly, in almost every department and with all indicators, our nation has become a tale of two cities. We have wars between the rich and the poor, men and women, across generations, along party lines, social classes, religion, ethnicity and so on. The centre has given up in almost every department,” he wrote Mr Kukah said.
