Bishop Kukah Accuses President Buhari Of Institutionalizing Northern Hegemony

Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah

The Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of institutionalizing Northern hegemony by reducing others in public life to second class status.

He said: “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.”

The Bishop who spoke yesterday, December 25 in his 2020 Christmas message titled, ‘A nation in search of vindication,’ said: “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.

“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?”
