The Bishop of the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, tells TOBI
AWORINDE that the foundation for the Boko Haram crisis in parts of the North
was laid years back by leaders of the region
It’s over six months since the
abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls. Should the Federal Government/military
have taken more dire measures by now?
I know that we are anxious and, like every citizen, the
feeling of hopelessness is numbing and even humiliating. But what is most
important to the girls, their parents and us all is their safety, sanity and
life. I want to believe the government and our military are doing their best,
given the seeming cynical, hypocritical posturing of some of our international
friends who love our oil and care about milking us more than they love us.
Whatever it takes, whenever they are free, we want to see them alive and
hopefully healthy. Their healing is another project, but I do not believe that
their predicament is the result of the lack of will on the part of the
government or the military agencies.
