This is because constructive criticisms put governments on their toes for improved performance. And for criticisms to make desired results come to pass,they must be based on facts and truths, and that is why I see the attacks of Bishop Kukah\u2019s Christmas messages; instead of helping to make hope strategic for all Nigerians, the messages tended to promote cleavages of the nation along ethnic and religious lines that stoke violence and conflicts in the polity. More so that his allegations of nepotism against the regime were not supported by fact checks&#8221;.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In his interview with Sunday Sun, Sani said further &#8221; There is no harm in speaking truth to power based on sciences and facts. All Bishop Kukah needed to do is to do his fact checks of distribution of appointments made by President Buhari by ethnicity, religion and by state, and make them public for realistic appreciation ,since he is saying the regime is nepotistic does not make it so.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>He added &#8221; The bishop can, therefore, help Nigerians in no small measures in not only in the areas of appointments, but also in the list of distribution of projects and major contracts by ethnic groups, religious groups and by state.\u00a0This is because projects and major contracts are also\u00a0access to national resources.\u00a0For example, it is not possible for many people of conscience to believe his insinuation that the current regime has a hand in the killings by Boko Haram. This is because most of the victims are Muslims.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0immediate past Secretary General of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF),\u00a0 Anthony Sani, has picked holes in Bishop Matthew Kukah\u2019s Christmas message.
