‘Don’t Hand Over your Hope, Dream And Aspiration To Buhari’ – Bishop Kukah

By Author
Matthew Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, has warned Nigerians against overt reliance on the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kukah said it is dangerous to put hope and trust in Buhari and go to sleep, believing that all will be well.
The cleric made the following comments on Tuesday, while delivering a lecture -‘Education and Leadership Recruitment for a Plural Society: A Case for Nigeria’- during the 3rd Convocation Ceremony of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti.
Bishop Kukah said: “Fighting corruption alone may not guarantee us a stable nation. We must include the culture of entrenchment and protection of social justice and the rule of law to be part of our national live.
“So, Nigeria should not put all their hopes in Buhari. They should not think that once Buhari has started fighting corruption the entire system will be sanitized and everything will work for good or change.”
“A distorted society cannot expect the reward of a decent society. Happily for us in Nigeria, we are turning a new page.
“We must therefore not be seduced into thinking that we should hand over our
hope, our dream and our aspiration to President Buhari and go to sleep.”
“Corruption is a symptom of the disease of the distortion of our nationhood. We may have a transparent election but the most perfect electoral outcome does not translate to the right result.
“When people receive the licence to govern, what does it mean to them and what do they do with it? We must acknowledge the opportunity of the concession of defeat by (former) President Jonathan, we need institutions that can save voters from the excesses of the Nigerian politicians.
“As a country, we must have succession plan, we must have capacity for succession and the institutional capacity to recruit the future leaders and we must create opportunities for young Nigerians to rise to the highest office in the land.”
