Kukah had in a virtual appearance before the American lawmakers criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s handling of the security situation in Nigeria.

The presidency has attacked Catholic cleric, Bishop Matthew Kukah, over his recent address before the United States congress as regards insecurity in Nigeria.

In its reaction, the presidency in a statement by presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu said Kukah was doing his “best to sow discord and strife among Nigerians” as 234 muslim pupils were still in the captivity of the bandits. The statement reads, “It is unfortunate, and disappointing, for citizens of Nigeria to bear witness to one of their Churchmen castigating their country in front of representatives of a foreign parliament.

“There is no bias in this government when the president is northern and Muslim, the vice president southern and Christian, and the cabinet equally balanced between the two religions. But neither is there anything in our Constitution to state that political posts must be apportioned according to ethnicity or faith. It takes a warped frame of mind for a critic to believe ethnicity is of primary importance in public appointments.

Dis buhari govt used the last attack on christian sch to balance there crimes or just thinking are this bandits making money for our govt ?

When you speak they attack you but they're the one who already divided the country...through their actions...then expect you not to talk...hmmm. very funny...

Who are the attackers? No bi Muslims?

The energy they spend in countering people, if they spend them on fighting the bandits. They would have beaten them by now.

As if we don't know who this terrorist have been killing, all Southern Kaduna states all attacked by terrorist.killing and ethnic cleansing going on.nd they want media not to announce it.

I'd rather believe Bishop kukah than a lying government

And he had the moral courage to open his gutter mouth to even claim that children are still being held in captivity. Children that should be engaged with their education and growth, being traumatized.

There is so much lie being told by this government its incredible. One can't keep up again. Shehu musa and his colleagues just churn out lies it's becoming quite shameful. Bishop Kukah was only telling the world as it is and I am sure they believe him. Shame shehu

What I think is that,the Northerners who are sponsoring kidnapping and all just decided to attack Christian schools so that it won't be as if......

Bishop speaking truth

Sir don't lie, continue to say the truth sir... Remember, lie n go to hell... This govt dirty jobs, most of the world leaders av received bad news about Nigeria... U will see action very soon.

The presidency can counter Bishop Kuka all they want but the Nigerian Christians know what/who to believe.

They meant to say that federal character was carefully considered in their banditry and terrorism.🤔

Counter Boko Haram, UGM, BANDITS, KIDNAPPERS, ARMED HERDSMEN... NA NIGERIANS DEM FIT COUNTER. BUHARI CAN FORGIVE TERRORISTS BUT WHEN U DEFEND URSELF AGAINST HERDSMEN YOU'RE A CRIMINAL LIKE SUNDAY IGBOHO. ABI DSS HAS EVER RAIDED ANY FULANI HERDSMEN SUSPECTED FOR KILLING?

Bishop Kukah is correct and saying it as it is! Yeye regime do your job! And stop monitoring people's tweets! You bunch of jokes!

This bold killings wasn't like this when Trump was in power ... But na Biden una like become of immigration... how person go wan die for visa for another man's country instead of fixing his

The mere fact that 234 pupils in both Christian and Moslem Schools have been attacked and abducted by fulani herdsmen terrorists and Boko Haram terrorists are more than enough reason for Fascist PMB's Regime to resign for inability to carry out the primary purpose of Government.

Trump asked d golden question on live TV but u guys didn't comprehend ... He asked buhari y are u guys killing Christians the same Christians that hated his guts cuz he was a nationalist ..

They should keep praying, Allah will handle Insecurity while Jesus will handle the Economy.
