Incessant Herdsmen Attack: Bishop Kukah Blames Buhari, Says President Not Ready Governance

Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Most Reverend Mathew Hassan Kukah, lambasted the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for the continued herdsmen attacks.

Bishop Kukah blamed the incessant attacks allegedly carried out by Fulani herdsmen on the Buhari-led government’s unpreparedness to tackle the many challenges bedevilling the nation.

Kukah spoke to newsmen in Sokoto during the inauguration and dedication of the new secretariat of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Sokoto State chapter.

According to him, it was uncharitable on the part of government to blame citizens or any particular group for the incessant attacks instead of looking for a way to tackle the challenge.

The clergy said, the primary responsibility of governance was to provide security for its citizens, noting that it was sad that people will come to power unprepared.

He said, “I hear people blaming Nigerians, and blaming Fulani herdsmen and blaming. It is really the failure of government to address the very many problems that this country faces.

“It is a bit of a pity, because it also means that sometimes people come into power not fully prepared, I thought if this government had taken inventory of the nature of the problems that this country face, we will not be where we are today.”

He observed that the responsibility of government was to fix problem not to create one and that such primary responsibility ought to be carried out by those in government and not to be shifted to citizens or past governments leaders.

The Catholic Bishop pledged the resolve of the church to continue to pray for God’s intervention, but was quick to call on the nation’s leaders to recognise the urgency it required to fix the challenges and make the country going.

Kukah also expressed concern over the polarized nature of the country, saying it had reduced the nation to a subject of ridicule among the comity of nations.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
