The Catholic Bishops Conference
of Nigeria (CBCN) on Sunday lambasted Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, for
attacking the body after its visit to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The clerics last week met Buhari
in a close door meeting.
They told the President that
Nigerians were angry about alleged bad governance and imbalance in the system.
But addressing State House
Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after the juma’at service on
Friday, the governor took a swipe at them.
He said those who had looted the
country’s funds were angry because sources of their free money had been blocked
by the current government.
Reacting, CBCN President and
Archbishop of Jos, Ignatius Kaigama, said millions of Catholic members would
deal with Bello.
“I don’t even want to dignify
that reckless accusation with an answer”, he told Thisday.
“If the president met us,
understood us and was courteous to us, why will a governor come up with such
generalisation, a very wild generalisation, and rubbished everyone?
“Let our people deal with him,
and we have millions of our people to tackle the governor.
“I don’t think any bishop will
comment on such statement that has no prudence.”
Why berating the young man for saying the obvious! What exactly are these "our people" going to do to Bello?
