Rev. Matthew Kukah, the Bishop of the Catholic Arch-Diocese of Sokoto, Nigeria has maintained that issues of June 12, 1993 presidential election have remain unresolved.
Kukah further stated that the issue of “corruption has become so bad that it is in every area of our national life.”
The Bishop said this in Lagos, Monday, adding that democracy is a free exchange of ideas and requires patience, noting that, the deeper issues of June 12 have remained unresolved.
Kukah said the issues concern the content and structure of the system we are running as a country. We are refusing to deal with the difficult questions of how countries are formed and developed.
“Contrary to what has become popular, diversity is an asset. But the critical question is how we manage it. We have become hostages to our environment.”
“We live in a very dysfunctional society, where we pretend that things are working. We are in a hurry.
“The tendency of outsourcing our responsibility to God or external agents makes it possible for us to think about contentedness.”
