Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, says President, Muhammadu Buhari has sacrificed the dreams of Nigerians on the altar of nepotism by allegedly pursuing Northern hegemony. The bishop also said Nigeria appeared to be heading for darkness under Buhari’s regime, noting that the government must explain the mystery behind the endless bloodletting in the country occasioned by insecurity. He described Nigeria as a rudderless country where the citizens travelled in a boat devoid of captain or crew and without any maps and destination in sight. Kukah said these on Friday in his Christmas message titled, ‘A Nation in Search of Vindication.’ The bishop said, “This government owes the nation an explanation as to where it is headed as we seem to journey into darkness. The spilling of  blood must be related to a more sinister plot that is beyond our comprehension. Are we going to remain hogtied by these evil men or are they gradually becoming part of a larger plot ...
