Popular Prophet Accuses Buhari Of Drifting Nigeria Towards War

President Muhammadu Buhari led administration has been accused by Prophet Isa El-Buba, the General Overseer of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International, of worsening the prospects of unity and cohesion in Nigeria.

The clergy stated that the country is already drifting towards war due to the policies implemented by the administration.

He stated that the benefit derived from the crisis in the country by people in power, insurgency will not end until the people in power decide to end it.

Prophet El-Buba stated this while speaking with newsmen in Jos the Plateau State Capital, on the state of the nation.

He noted that the country has never been this bad, he pointed to the level of insecurity which has been a major concern for Nigerians.

The General Overseer also said, “there is too much of insincerity, deceit, injustice, and sundry vices that manifest in the day-to-day running of the Buhari-administration, with very little hope for the youths and other ethnic components of the country.”

“In spite of Government’s claim of winning the war against the Boko Haram insurgents in the North East, Nigerian troops are being daily decimated and depleted as secret burials are often carried out in Maiduguri, without the authorities informing the families of the dead soldiers or making the burials public.”

El-Buba further said, “the insincerity of those in power, because of the personal benefits they derive as the Boko Haram war rages will continue until its perpetrators in power decide to end it”.

While speaking on the selection of ministerial nominees, he described the proposed cabinet as “uninspiring and unambitious” for good governance.

He noted that “the Buhari government has given no hope to the youth population of this country, because the composition of the cabinet, replete as it is with characters of questionable moral pedigree, does not have the outlook or determination to re-position the public space and forge a new direction predicated on moral rectitude.”

While speaking on the detention Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria by the Buhari government, noted that the decision has neither helped the cause of justice nor the prospect of democracy in Nigeria.

he called on the Federal government to be careful on how its handling El-Zakzzaky issue, he noted that if the Shiites leader dies in detention, the consequences could be damaging.

In the same vein, the General Overseer carpeted President Buhari over the arrest and detention of the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, for proposing to stage a pro-revolutionary protest against the “ills, injustices, failures, and ethnic and geopolitical inequalities prompted by the present administration”.

He said while the idea of ‘revolution’ is not patently negative or strictly connoting change of government, there was no basis to arrest Sowore, or use state security to abort the protest, saying it amounts to hypocrisy as Buhari and his government have benefited from such ‘revolutionary’ protests in the past.
