APC, Buhari have no progressive track record – Kukah
Mattew Hassan Kukah,the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, 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’’
