Yet again, the legendary political Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah has stated that both Former President Muhammadu Buhari and current President Bola Tinubu were and are not prepared for governance and leadership. Whatever the Bishop means, he must stop confusing and distracting Nigerians!
Buhari, aside being a former military president, contested three times before winning the fourth time. Same Buhari formed a whole political party before merging same to form the All Progressive Party (APC.) Tinubu was a Senator in 1993, ran abroad after his leader MKO Abiola was incarcerated; and came back after his death to become Lagos State governor in 1999. Tinubu was governor for eight (8) solid years and was so powerful that he controls the Lagos State government till date. How can any sane person now tell us these two are “unprepared” to be president?!
The real issues are that both Buhari and Tinubu are reactionary and anti-people elements. They are well prepared to come, steal, and destroying like the thief in the night. They are prepared to remove fuel Subsidy, destroying and privatizing NNPC; hike food prices, and skyrocket inflations. Buhari and Tinubu were prepared to devaluing the Naira, just as they have reduced the purchasing powers of an average Nigerian.
Bishop Mathew Kukah and some others are non-state actors indirectly working for the state. They are pseudo activists who claim to stand with the people. So, all they do is to shout irrelevant issues and get on the front pages of national dailies. Their Reductionism is a recipe to confusing and distracting the people. What Nigerians must do is to stop listening to them. Let’s start preparing to chase away Tinubu and the likes. Whether they are prepared or not is not an excuse. What we are concerned about is the consequences of the wicked actions they have taken against the people.
Nigerians must start uniting to #EndBadgovernance at all levels. Any excuse of unpreparedness is complete balderdash, and those shouting same are agents of the ruling class. No one Kukah has been the Secretary of the National Peace Accord and there has never been peace anywhere in Nigeria. It’s time to call a spade by its name!
