Bishop Matthew Kukah slams President Muhammadu Buhari

Bishop Matthew Kukah: “Probe in democracy not substitute for governance'' 

Rev. Father Matthew Kukah, a member of the National Peace Committee chaired by former Military Head of State, a few days ago dismissed reports that the committee was lobbied by former President Goodluck Jonathan to stop President Muhammadu Buhari from probing his administration.According to Kukah, “Anybody is free to come to our committee, but President Jonathan never by telephone or by any other means sought to see the committee.

“We went to see him, but that was after we had already seen members of the political parties; we saw a few members of the civil society; we planned to see the speaker because we couldn’t see him yesterday. So this was a planned series of intervention essentially just to hear out everybody and I think the good news is that Nigerians are committed to a new nation.”

In a new development, Rev. Father Kukah has in an interview with Channels Television said President Buhari should focus on governance rather than probe. In his words, “There are no probe in democracy, only investigations. Probe is not a substitute for governance.”
