Archbishop Augustine Obiora, the president of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) on Tuesday declared that President Muhammadu Buhari has failed the citizenry.

The declaration followed the increasing insecurity in the country.

The cleric insisted that Buhari had disappointed everyone who believed that he would deliver on his promises.

On killings, Obiora told politicians not to trivalise the situation and demanded that incessant attacks and loss of lives stop immediately.

CBCN said their hearts “are bleeding, and are more troubled when we hear of the massacre presently going on in Southern Kaduna. We want all the people suffering the incessant attacks in Southern Kaduna to know that all Catholics in Nigeria are praying for them.”
