The Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, has said that since the return of democracy in 1999, Nigeria had produced Presidents who were not prepared to serve.
He explained that former Presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo, Musa Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, and even the current President Muhammadu Buhari, were never prepared to lead Nigeria.
“Since the return of Democracy, Nigeria has not gotten a president who is prepared to serve this nation,” said Kukah.
“President Olusegun Obasanjo was picked from the prison and became a president.
“President Umar Musa Yar’Adua was preparing to return to the university for lecturing but he was picked and became president.
“Goodluck Jonathan was a vice president and became president through a doctrine of necessity after the death of Yar’Adua.
“He contested and won and when he wanted to leave, he was asked to re-contest for the second tenure but lost to President Muhammadu Buhari who had vowed never to contest president again after contesting three times and losing.
“Buhari won his second tenure and he was begged against his wish to re-contest for second tenure and he won, so we have no president that has contested election based on his conviction.”
According Kukah, no country of the world will accept the level of injustice and corruption that takes place in Nigeria.
