Olubunmi Okogie, archbishop emeritus of the Catholic archdiocese of Lagos, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to lead by example “on all fronts or risk plunging Nigeria into a state of despondency”.

In a statement issued on his behalf by Gabriel Osu, director of social com­munications of the diocese, Okogie asked the president to focus on policies that would uplift the masses.

He condemned the flouting of court order by security agencies, saying the current government was heading towards “a one-man show”.

Okoji alleged that many Nigerians now have the impression that “Buhari is fast transforming this nation into a police state”.

Our Change must change something. How could we continue to talk of change in a static system? How could we be talking of change when the same crew are governors, ministers, senators, and members of the house of representatives? This is a cyclical devolution of power to the same people who are never out of power!

What sort of change is the pres­ident talking about? When will the youth take over when even a gov­ernor does not take a bow and go? When shall we plan for the replace­ment of delinquent leadership? This is what constitutes change. Change is not changing from Jonathan to Buhari.

Change is behavioural and pervades all levels of society including the family, the church, the mosque, schools, market women and business men. When we talk of change, we talk of positive-salutary, healthy growth and development oriented change that cuts across the entire gamut of the society.

What sort of change is this that ignores the glaring unequal distribu­tion of national income? It is absurd that the same government that is unable to pay N18,000 per month to the lowest grade of labour can afford to pay N1.8 million per month to anyone in the economy. Why must tax payers’ money be used to feed Mr. President and his family?

Why must the tax payers’ money be used to buy brand new exotic vehicles for the legislature, judges, ministers and governors when they are heavily paid?

Why don’t they use loan finance or mortgage finance to buy their cars and houses? This is also a form of looting and it is the cause of grounding the economy and calling in an IMF spin-doctor all the time.

Precisely two years ago this same President Buhari rejected off-hand this use of a spin doctor to heal the ailing economy. He pre­ferred the use of counter-trade and inward looking policies like cutting down costs and flamboyant exotic life styles.

Today, I am not so sure we have the same Buhari. I do hope he has not changed all the colours of the rainbow. The ruling elites are living a luxurious lifestyle while the mass­es are in abject poverty and yet we are all Nigerians. Enough of this change-conundrum.

The dollard wants to fight kworoption with the tax

you call archbishop Olubunmi Okogie a nutter (mad man) ? Smh may God have mercy on you

It is to Buhari's credit that he authorised the massacre of 1000 Shiites and now systematically initializing economic blockade on her citizens in the name of executing selective political personal vendetta.

The truth has been told.

They should not increase taxes for Nigerians to fund the lifestyles of those in power: http://www.naijiant.com/videos/nigeria-and-low-oil-prices/

Another silly talk from a so called man of God. You Will rather face your calling and allowed the politicians be we have heard enough from you people. wailing wailers .

For the likes of Cardinal Okogi to start speaking out like this... There is trouble in the land o

Who are you calling a nutter? I am watching you, be careful, we hold our Cardinals in high esteem, you don't wanna go there

This man wan start to embarass him self now,shay na buhari appoint governors,senators and house of rep members?.
Btw,no be church dey feed him and him family self abi see person wey dey talk?
I know when men of God speaks,they speak wisdom.
Even a toddler knws that the constitution made provision for the feeding of the president and his family.


Like say him dey pay tax self.

We want him to collect our looted funds and use it to feed himself. So that we can hail him to day and crucify him tomorrow. In Nigeria we are focused. Trump is just jealous.

I think this man is on track. No puplic office holder should be entitled to any form of allowance after collecting huge amount as salary when the government is struggling to pay 18000..#All allowance should be canceled..

bubu is a criminal!

Gabriel Osu is allowing his hatred of Buhari to be - cloud his reasoning

If a pensioner does a job he should not get paid because he collects pension?

Who's the fake prophet that's beyond insult?

His false god can do no harm.

Therefore, to hell with okogie and his vapid opinions.

Who feeds Okogie?? Himself or his congregation??

It wasn't even Okogie who made the statement but someone else and the article says "on behalf of Okogie".

Article with no source.

I think this is another propaganda piece from the Wailers and should be taken down.

Because he is a public servant. Who else is suppose to take care of him, the holy see?

Yes. Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie is a mad man.
How does the cardinal feed also,is it not also from the proceeds of church members.
Or is the so-called cardinal having a government job that pays him salary.

Scam government...
