A former Archbishop of the Catholic Arch Diocese of Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie, has written President Muhammadu Buhari, demanding to know if the president is truly a Nigerian.

Okogie also asked President Buhari to renounce the presidential seat since he has failed to protect lives and property of Nigerians.

The cleric wondered why some All Progressives Congress, APC governors were busy dancing at the Eagles Square, Abuja while Nigerians were being slaughtered like cows in Plateau State last weekend.

He accused the President of deliberately refusing to stop killings perpetrated by Fulani militant, asking him to step down honourably.

The former Archbishop said this in an open letter to Buhari, entitled, “Dear Mr. President, Call a Spade a Spade.”

He said, “Dear Mr. President, we must call spade a spade. You were elected to protect the land and its people but neither is being protected under your watch.

“ You therefore have the most important decision of your career to make. And that decision is this : Are you for Nigerians or not?”

The cleric pointed out that the number of killings so far recorded under the Buhari – led administration showed that the government had failed on security.

He said, “The number ( of Nigerians ) killed under your watch, Mr. President, provides more than convincing evidence that the government you lead has failed to secure our lives. You are the Commander-in -Chief of the Armed Forces.

“If more than three years into your administration, you have been unable to stop these killings, why don’t you seriously consider the option of an honourable renunciation of the presidential seat?

“One of the major factors behind the patent failure of your government is the fact that you are surrounded by men and women who fail to tell you the truth about Nigeria and who shield you from seeing what is happening to the ordinary Nigerians .

“Instead of assisting you in the governance of this country, they insult those whose dissenting opinions you need if you are to succeed.

“How does one explain the fact that under your watch as the Commander – in – Chief, agencies established to maintain law and order, instead of protecting innocent citizens of this country, dissipate their energy running after members of opposing parties? Do you call that democracy?

“No right-thinking person would advocate letting anyone off who has committed a crime. No one is above the law, not even you, Mr. President. That is why the Constitution provides for a process of removing the President.

“That is why the point must also be made that those who contravene the laws of Nigeria be brought to book, irrespective of their political, regional, ethnic or religious affiliation. But the sad reality is: under your watch, that is not what is happening.

“A member of the Miyetti Allah appeared on television, justifying as retaliatory the killings in Plateau State. He was not the first member of the Miyetti Allah to make the statement.

“Nigerians are baffled that he has yet to be arrested. Where were those responsible for our security at a time they were needed most?

“Dear President Buhari, I am compelled to write to you again because, since the bloodshed of the first day of this year, there has been more bloodshed in Zamfara State and in the Middle Belt.

“The latest killings in Plateau State make us wonder: where were you , Mr. President, while innocent lives were being wasted in Plateau State? Where were your service chiefs when babies were being ripped out of their mothers ’ wombs by men who claim to do so because of their cows?

“While all this happened during the national convention of your party , it would be unfair to insinuate that the latest round of killings had anything to do with your party.

“However, it was scandalous that at about the time innocent Nigerians were being slaughtered like cows in Plateau State last weekend, some members of your party were dancing and feasting at your party’s convention in Abuja, while some were throwing chairs at each other, and some others were exchanging blows.

“That , in itself, points to the absence of democracy in your party, as is the case in virtually all the political parties in Nigeria.”

“You described what is going on as a clash between herdsmen and farmers. If the identities of these criminals are not hidden, why has the Nigerian intelligence community , under your watch , failed to prevent them from shedding blood?”

Was Jonathan not a serious President when this was going on?

These guys are not herdsmen, they're like Bokoharam, they hit and run away, probably, integrate with other people or probably run to their sponsors house to hide and after Awhile hit again.
Its not as simple as it seen and today, we have security personnel that are inadequate and not well arm.

You seem to know alot about them
What do you know that Buhari the C in C doesn't know

What is wrong with our clergy men,

Tell me, can this clergyman save Fulani the way that old imam save criminals that called themselves Christians,? those berom cattle rustlers.

See the way a clergyman of the highest order defending corrupt people and talking about party convention, how does that affect you if politicians are playing politics in their party.
Is it your party?
Busy body clergyman according to tinubu.

Where were you when 5,000 Fulani were killed by the so called Christian that will rot in hell for their murderous and rustling act.

his corrupt eminence has spoken.

“ You therefore have the most important decision of your career to make. And that decision is this : Are you for Nigerians or not?”

NO.

He's for fulanis and Miyetti Allah members.


Only fools still thinks otherwise considering events across the country and ethnic cleansing in the middle belt by Fulani terrorist herdsmen.

Plateau people need to document all lands occupied and renamed by fulani terrorist herdsmen after commiting genocide and drag Miyetti allah and buhari's terrorist govt to ICC. Buhari must be dragged to ICC for crimes against humanity.

Buhari major aim of becoming president is to implement the "Fulani Agenda. Nothing more, nothing less. The current genocide against Christians is one of the goals. Wiping Christians for installation of Sharia all over Nigeria as confirmed by the terrorist himself in 2001, Kaduna is the ultimate objective.

Buharis agenda is to complete Usman Danfodios work

Bubu do the needful n inevitable!!

I live there before. I have visited and taken relief materials to attacked communities before. They also try attacking the community where I live before.

but some people stay in their house and talk trash probably for political reasons.


Now, before they were saying Boko haram is killing Christians, they want to use it to frustrate Jonathan because he is not from the north, etc. Ask yourself, they're bombing mosques everytime now, do Christian live or worship in mosques? is buhari still a southerner or Christian, why is it still going on?

We have very sentimental and selfish leaders everywhere; traditional, religious and political.
These people just mouth their mouth to talk and the gullible once believe and follow.

May God help us.

That idiotic buhari matter don tire me.....the fooool no go die better

CoolFreeday:

That's how you people invite misfortune and mishap to yourself by insulting real ordained Holy men.Later you start accusing one village uncle or that 'witch' aunty as being responsible.
A man that has nothing to lose if Buhari carries on with his misrule is speaking out and you have the nerve to post that rubbish above.I pity you!

You aren't making sense you know.
A. president that values the lives of his subjects won't stand by while lives are being lost.
Why hasn't he ordered for the arrest of Miyette Allah who have at various times made comments suggesting they know those behind the killings. They have variously given justification as to why the killings can't stop and the president has refused to bring them in for questioning but he was quick to go against unarmed and harmless IPOB.

When I hear people like you who live far away from the theatre of war speak I tend to excuse you because you don't know what those who live within these villages go through.

Buhari marauding & killer foolanis brothers are simply above the Nigerian law because the only thing these brute understand is "Sharia/Islamic laws or government"

The Nigeria law does not hold water in many of the core northern states.If it does,then it must be political Islam.Nice one bishop not like Pastor Adeboye's shallow response though you also contributed in foisting this monster beast on the Nigerian nation

kutchs:
You aren't making sense you know.Apresident that values the lives of his subjects won't stand by while lives are being lost

Please don't bother yourself with fellas like that.I've lost 29 relatives in Jos.I feel the pain than someone like that.
