It's about time We retired Kukah By Akan Ebenezer

Rev. Father Matthew Kukah (left) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (right)

** Its about time we retired Kukah, and disbanded that sham of a Peace Committee.

Perhaps send him to a monastery to reflect on his purpose on earth.

** Or we could strip him of his white garment and give him a ticket to contest.

With his fixation on political affairs, his calling wasn't the will of God, and its beginning to look more like it was a survival strategy- join the priesthood and be pampered.

And with the elevation gotten through the church, he sees himself as something else.

** The church in its wisdom had sent him quietly to rot away in silence in some far-flung Diocese in Sokoto, but he found favour with Jonah, and Jonah brought him back from oblivion, and now the guy is all over the place.

** For misguided reasons, Kukah thinks he is the final arbiter of what we should think.

He wants to whisper to the powers that be, the power behind the throne, telling them what he should do.

** An election was held, and the winner won with over a 4million vote margin, and one compromised priest is running around telling us that some people are unhappy or crying.

Would he have said that I was crying if Buhari had been the loser?

Would he be wiping my tears and consoling me?

Or would he be celebrating an Atiku victory as the wishes of the people?

** We have not forgotten his past opposition to Buhari, his subservience to Jonah, or the ill-fated rapprochement he, Oyedepo and Gumi orchestrated between OBJ and Atiku- all in their bid to form a united front to unseat Buhari.

** Now the same person is yarning opata upandan.

Kukah has been the most vocal, and openly biased member of the obsolete Peace Committee, and we are fed up with his grandstanding.

We did not choose him, it was Jonah that did.

If he wants to start speaking for Nigerians, he should strip, and get in the ring.

He cant be hiding behind the church to be a nuisance.

** Its okay for those in elevated positions to fight injustice and inequality, but apart from the Abacha years, we have rarely gotten that from Kukah.

Instead, he has been running around to support and excuse those who suppress us.

** I have never cared for religious people who dabble into politics, from Mbaka to Oyedepo, and from Gumi to Kukah.

And more so when their messages are incongruous to our reality.
