Buhari Is Not Only Corrupt, He Is Insincere - Bishop Chukwuma

The Archbishop of the Enugu Ecclesiastical Province, Emmanuel Chukwuma, says that President Muhammadu Buhari is "not only corrupt, he is insincere".

Chukwuma made this comment in an interview with The Sun newspaper, stating that the incumbent government has progressed from "bad to worse and from worse to worst" since the country's independence.

When asked what he thought made the president insincere, he said that the "bogus promises" made by the president and his party the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the presidential campaigns have gone unfulfilled.

He alluded to the claims of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, that the president was in fact not Buhari and someone else; adding that the attitude of the president "is heightening such suspicion".

Chukwuma said, "President Buhari is not only corrupt, he is insincere. He is dishonest and runs a very dishonest government! He presides over a government that has gone from bad to worse and from worse to the worst ever since Nigeria’s independence. 

"Under Buhari’s watch, there has been so much waste of resources, corruption like never before, negligence of the poor; astronomical increase of poverty, unemployment, violence and killings, among others, all due to ineptitude."

President's Insincerity

"There are several examples," he said.

"All the bogus promises that he and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) made during his presidential campaigns have turned out negative as none has been fulfilled.

"The country is in disarray because people are suffering more than ever before."

On Buhari's Identity

"We have, unfortunately, voted into power, a man who we do not even know whether he is really a Nigerian.

"That is probably why he is being accused of using Nigeria’s scarce resources to develop Niger Republic while paying less attention to the sufferings in Nigeria. 

"The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has severally alleged that the person who is there is not Buhari. And the president’s attitude is heightening such suspicion."
