Bishop of the Kaduna Diocese of Anglican Diocese, Josiah Idowu Fearon, has charged Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari to probe the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).Most Revd. Fearon also advised that the president go-after super-rich Nigerians who, during the Jonathan administration, were accused of receiving money for political campaigns including groups like Transformational Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN).
The bishop also added that President Buhari should use the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to investigate them even as he advised him to sanitize the armed forces, get them well equipped, and flush out Boko Haram insurgents within his first six months in office.
According to Vanguard, Fearon said Buhari cannot afford to fail Nigerians as the situation he has inherited is so bad that he should not expect any period of honeymoon. He spoke in Kaduna during the dioceses’ 20th synod.
He advised the president to be careful on the composition of his cabinet, adding that he should guard against powerful individuals who would shield him from what is going on in the country, and those in politics to enrich themselves at the expense of the nation.
“We want to give the President some ideas for his consideration and action. It is obvious, the stakes are high; Nigerians have a high expectation. You cannot afford to fail by disappointing,”the bishop said.
“The situation you are inheriting is so bad that you should not expect any period of honeymoon: security is not there, power supply is at its lowest level, queues at our filling stations, hardly ever disappear in spite of the payment of subsidy to those importing fuel, we hear that in some states and some Federal Government departments, salaries have not been paid for months”.
