Insecurity: Nigerians react to Bishop Kukah’s attack on Buhari

Nigerians on Twitter have backed Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah over his attack on President Muhammadu Buhari on rising insecurity in the country.

The Catholic Bishop had said the president was running the most nepotistic and narcissistic government in Nigeria’s history

He also accused the president of bringing nepotism and clannishness into the military and the country’s security agencies.

However, twitter users have expressed support for Kukah for telling Buhari the blunt truth.

Read reactions below:

I have read Bishop Kukah's homily 3 times & I assure you that these were not the words of Kukah alone but rather the Holy Spirit speaking through Him. He spoke the mind & the oracles of the Living God. Buhari would do well to take heed, humble himself & appreciate His counsel.

I have never read something that made me shrink, my pride, my voice, my beauty, everything fading as his words got intense.

The attacks on Kukah are not surprising but make no mistake: it is not religious in this instance – those engaged in it will as soon attack a Bishop Kukah as they would attack a Sheikh Gumi or anyone who refuses to worship Buhari.

APC is like a cult which’s sole hero is Buhari.

Bishop Kukah's desperation got to originally to attempt to dryclean Atiku by getting OBJ to "forgive" him in an attempt to influence the last election. That Atiku lost compounded his frustrations. He will wail uncontrollably till 2023 and beyond but nobody will rescue him!

"We are solemn witnesses to the penetrating darkness that hovers over our country."- Kukah.

Bishop Kukah is a great Man. An engagement with him will leave a lasting positive impact on your personality. May God grant the families of the bereaved fortitude in this trying time. https://t.co/VsjlkY5SXZ

Even if the exact thing Bishop Kukah said is that Nigeria is not worth dying for, it's not a lie. Even our own President never risks his life for the love of the country, he flees to UK once he sneezes or his ear itches. No point arguing with people who are paid to have opinions!

After reading Bishop Kukah's homily on your behalf, I was consoled.

The God that marked out this pathway for you knows more than we do. You're the martyr for the faith. Rest on Michael. We're happy you're in heaven 🙏♥️ pic.twitter.com/GtX6dd6vLz
