The cleric, who frowned not only at the way the president is going about the corruption war but also his approach towards the Southern Kaduna killings, insisted that the president must change his attitude if he wants to win the war on corruption and other anomalies in the country.

“President Muhammadu Buhari’s crusade against corruption and the lethargic approach in addressing the alleged wanton killing of Christians in Southern Kaduna were reprehensible and lopsided.”

“He can’t win the war against corruption by fighting a few. He can’t win when his party members are protected. We all love this country.

”We should stop deceiving ourselves. We are living in deception,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Council of Imams and Ulama in Kaduna state have demanded the arrest and prosecution of the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and others for the alleged escalation of the mayhem in Southern Kaduna.

The Imams insisted that the attacks on some villages in the area were heightened through inflammatory and false statements by those that they want arrested.
