The Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has sensationally revealed the problems President Muhammadu Buhari has.
Speaking with Daily Sun on the sideline of the celebration of the 30 years establishment of the Amity Printing Press, in Nanjing, China, Onaiyekan said the problem President Buhari has is that many Nigerians want to continue as they were doing before and they want everybody else to change, but not themselves.
The member, Global Council of the United Bible Societies and immediate past president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), added: “that is the problem which our president has. He has with him, a whole lot of people with whom he doesn’t share the same ideas.”
According to the Kabba, Kogi State-born Onaiyekan, “this is partly responsible for the slow pace of what he is doing.”
X-raying President Buhari’s anti-corruption war, Onaiyekan further said: “Anybody who is expecting that with Buhari as president, all corrupt practices will end, must be somebody who doesn’t really know what kind of corruption we have in Nigeria.”
He continued: “Corruption in Nigeria is not basically a question of individuals who are greedy or dishonest because by the time you meet individual Nigerians, we are all struggling. Everybody knows one another and you don’t really want to point finger at any particular person. Rather, it is a whole system that is corrupt, which needs to be changed – the system of governance, the way business is done in the government offices. All this have to change if corruption is to be tackled.
“It means also that those who claim, or those who have the job to tackle corruption, must themselves do it in a non-corrupt fashion. This is where it is necessary that the rule of law must be followed. You cannot just pounce on somebody because you think you don’t like him or because people are talking about him. This is the problem that Buhari has,” Onaiyekan declared.
Amongst other issues, Onaiyekan asked Buhari to hurry up and meet the expectations of Nigerians, even as he explained why the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, was voted out of office
