“Nigeria Still Share Constitution With Bandits, Terrorists”, Says Bishop Kukah

The Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, has expressed worry that Nigeria is sharing its sovereignty guaranteed in the constitution with bandits and other terrorists.

On Monday, Kukah said this while delivering a keynote speech at the 60th call to bar anniversary celebration of legal icon Aare Afe Babalola in Ado Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State.

The clergyman explained that nobody is excited now about being a Nigerian, even if they are President or Senators, as the country is being held hostage by people who threaten the very existence of our democracy and country.

He said:

“We have seen the worst phase of corruption in Nigeria. Femi Falana, my friend here, will speak about that because he has published a series of articles about what happened under the Buhari administration.

They were not the ones who caused corruption, but I think in the last administration, we saw the ugliest phase of corruption whether in moral terms, financial terms and other terms.”
