Matthew Kukah, bishop of Sokoto diocese of the Catholic Church, says President Muhammadu Buhari and some of his ministers are not content.

Kukah mentioned this in an interview with Abang Mercy, a social media professional.

The cleric mentioned those at present in charge of this nation did not envisage that factors would take this turn.

There has been an outcry of hardship amongst some Nigerians.

"We must get our individuals to a point in which they appreciate when the worth of their life is depreciating. And that is what is taking place to us now," he said.

"In most aspect of northern Nigeria for example where youngsters are stunting, when those children turn 30, 40 and they turn out to be portion of your workforce, their capacity to interpret information, grasp the urgency of development is severely constrained.

"For me, these are some of the challenges and that is why I say Buhari himself is not happy… except a couple of ministers, but even the ministers themselves are unhappy due to the fact they didn’t envision that they would be going via the difficulty that they are going via.

"If I ask you to point at 1 division of government that is so upbeat about what individuals have achieved, I think it will be difficult to discover out any."

Kukah stated some of the president’s "new friends" in the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been these he sent to jail while serving as the military head of state in 1984.

He stated it was worrisome that the president has not changed the strategy he applied to fight corruption during his military regime.

Kukah added that the Nigerian leader was not brought into power by angels.

"I have identified Buhari for a even though but I don’t want to claim I am close to him but he is a man I have tremendous respect for," Kukah said.

"But given that this is Nigeria, quite a few of them have completed serving their 100-year jail term. They have come back, joined APC and are active members of the party.

Even though the cleric stated he was not in the position to access the Buhari administration, he maintained that the president nonetheless had the time to make ideal his wrongs.

"I am not the 1 to measure Buhari’s competence. It will take us four years to make a decision if Buhari is the man for the job or not. Or we have the national assembly if they are critical and up to their job, they can cease an incompetent president mid-way," he said.

"Buhari is going to be president for four years. We are just gone previous the first half. And like the game of soccer, until the final whistle is blown, you can not say who has won.

"It is pretty conceivable that he may well likely do one thing really spectacular. For instance, he is going to the south-east, which I think is fairly unfortunate because it came so quite a few years as well late.
