Anglican Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Archbishop
Emmanuel Chukwuma, has launched an attack
on President Muhammadu Buhari’s government
over its failure to curb corruption.
Bishop Chukwuma speaking at a service hinted
that retirement age in politics is 70 years, hence
Buhari must resign.
He stated that Buhari’s government came into
power through corruption, therefore, the
reason it can’t fight corrupt practices in the
country.
Also taking a swipe at the South East
governors, the bishop said politics played by
governors is based on selfishness, materialistic
gains yet to match the likes of Alex Ekwueme
and Ojukwu.
“Thus saith the Lord, set thy house in order for
thou shalt die and not live. I don’t believe in 70
yrs , 70 years is the age of retirement.
politicians are you hearing me? at Age 70, you
have your passport to heaven.
“Ekwueme’s trip abroad for medical treatment
by the federal government is a shame to
Nigeria and a disgrace to the health sector.
“When we can’t even afford panadol in federal
state house clinic. I hope x-ray machine is
working now because that is the first place to
start fighting corruption.
“The present government came through
corruption, so it’s difficult to fight corruption.
Those who stole money used it to campaign for
presidency.
“Buhari 32 years ago put Ekwueme into prison
and 32 years after he died under his
government.
On the Fulani herdsmen and the question of
colony, he said, “South East will not tolerate any
colony for fulani herdsmen, herdsmen should
stay away; it’s a private business.
“Any governor that supports cattle colony will
be resisted by Igbo and CAN.
