The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has warned that Nigeria is drifting to a failed state under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The spokesperson of the CNG, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman stated this recently.
According to him, apart from the comatose economy, the inability of the government to provide basic amenities to the people is a sign of failure in the country.
Suleiman also listed some of the things that showed that Nigeria is heading for being a failed state. It listed the indicators like poverty, corruption, ineffective governance, crime, violence, forced displacement, and sectarian and ethnic conflict.
“Regardless of whether we choose to call it fragile, failed, or failing state, Nigeria is plagued by overwhelming problems with few solutions in sight.”
The position by the CNG follows allegations of nepotism brought against President Muhammadu Buhari by Matthew Kukah, Bishop of Sokoto Catholic diocese.
According to the respected cleric, there could have been a coup or war in the country if a non-Nothern Muslim becomes a president and does a fraction of what Buhari did.
Kukah disclosed this in his 2020 Christmas message titled, ‘A nation in search of vindication.’
Recall that Kukah had lambasted northern Muslim elite over the proliferation of Almarijis in the region. The cleric said the Almajiris in the northern part of Nigeria have been “sinned against” and denied opportunities for social progress by the elite.
