Kukah: APC was Not Prepared for Governance
The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, yesterday, took on the ruling All Progressives Congress-led administration on its inability to provide solutions to the Southern Kaduna crisis, even as he said the party wasn’t prepared for governance.
The Bishop who featured as a guest on ARISE TV Network, a sister company of THISDAY Newspapers in Abuja, disclosed that, the Southern Kaduna issue was not given much attention by the political elite in the country.
According to him, “I have been a student of the diagnostic school, even in the poster issue of this administration which is the fight against corruption. My argument has been that, first of all, everybody has accepted that the APC was not really prepared for governance. There is not enough evidence out there to suggest that people were really, really prepared to take responsibility and move with it.”
Kukah stated that the ruling party used over one year talking about the previous government that it took power from, adding that, the country as a result of that, lost lots of time.
He said: “It took almost one year to have ministers and so on and so forth. Now, I mean, there was something on Facebook the other day identifying the various ministers, only one or two or three who are doing what they were trained to do. These are some of the issues.
