Nepotism: Stop Stigmatising Buhari, Lai Mohammed Cautions Kukah by iwaeda: 6:26pm On Dec 26, 2020 |
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, on Saturday, warned the Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, to stop stigmatising the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). Mohammed, in a statement titled, ‘FG Urges Religious Leaders To Eschew Message of Disharmony’, also warned religious leaders in the country to “refrain from stoking the embers of hatred and disunity” which could “trigger unintended consequences”. The PUNCH had earlier reported that Kukah in his 2020 Christmas message titled, ‘A nation in search of vindication’, on Friday, accused Buhari of nepotism. The cleric had 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.” Reacting on Saturday, the minister said Kukah and other religious leaders have a responsibility to speak truth to power but “such truth must not come wrapped in anger, hatred, disunity and religious disharmony”. Mohammed said it was “graceless and impious for any religious leader to use the period of Christmas, which is a season of peace, to stoke the embers of hatred, sectarian strife and national disunity”.

Everything with Buhari is always war. It is either he is interpreting advise as threat or constructive criticism as stigmatization. He wants a large army of zombie praise singer who will muffle out the noise of herdsmen marching down south. |

How can nepotism stigmatized nepotism? Lai Mohammed is just plain silly.Buhari's nepotism is just like pregnancy. Even some prominent northerners like the highly cerebral Col.Umar Dangiwa(rtd) & Tinubu's own The Nation newspaper have repeatedly complained about same issue but Buhari have his ethno-religious supremacist agenda to fulfill. 1 Like |
