Buhari's administration making life difficult for Nigerians says Okogie

A former President, Christian Association of Nigeria, Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, has asked the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari why life is becoming harder for Nigerians after it promised them change.

The former Catholic Archbishop of Lagos asked the question in a piece entitled, ‘The Truth and Nothing But the Truth,’ which was sent to The PUNCH _on Tuesday.

Okogie said 2018 was just a few days away but on the horizon of Nigerian politicians, it seemed 2019 would come before 2018. He said by their speeches, conduct and posture, “even the blind are able to see that preparations for the 2019 elections are already in top gear.”

The outspoken cleric, however, decried that in utter disregard to internal party democracy, candidates and sole candidates were already being endorsed, a development he pointed out did not portray politicians in good light. “With very few exceptions, they are powermongers pretending to be leaders, parasites posturing as benefactors,” he stated.
