Mattew Hassan Kukah,the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mattew Hassan Kukah said that Nigerians might be disappointed
with the incoming Muhammadu Buhari led administration adding that the
All Progressives Congress, APC, has no track record despite being called
‘’progressives’’.
Kukah who said this at the weekend, while delivering a convocation
lecture at the Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, insisted that
Nigerians were eagerly looking for a transformer which may not come in
the mode of the Buhari’s Government.
He maintained the huge expectations from Nigerians on the newly elected Government would only lead to pain and disappointment.
Kukah, before the March 28 presidential election had re-affirmed that
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency would not invent a new bureaucracy.
He also said he doubted the former dictator could end the Almajiri syndrome in the North within one term if elected in 2015.
The Bishop added that even the North where Buhari hails from would not fare better under his presidency.
He asserted that Buhari has nothing to offer the country because even
the several speeches he had made since he began his campaign have been
empty.
“The same Nigerians yearning for change in Government which they now
have will certainly change their tune like when Jonathan was the
President.
“Right from military to civilian regimes, Nigerians have been known for
despising any President in power, but same Nigerians turned around to
like the person when he leaves office.
“They did it to Obasanjo; they have done it to Jonathan. So, Buhari would not be an exception.
“Now, hopes and expectations are very high on Buhari and he has said
after his declaration as winner of the polls that he is not a magician
and I think that is a warning’’, Kukah stated.
He added; “The APC does not have a track record. It is a gathering of
takers and there is no reason why it could not end up like the PDP from
where it has drawn most of its leaders today’’
