The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has accused Nigerian politicians of engaging in spiritual activities to win elections.

Bishop Kukah said politicians do not believe they can win elections through hard work, hence they resort to spiritual activities.

The clergyman who spoke during a virtual interview with a historian, Prof Toyin Falola, yesterday said lack of “predictors” was responsible for the tide.

He also charged religious leaders to resist any attempt by the politicians to contaminate their faith.

He said: “Nigerian politics as you can see from Okija to other places has become so highly spiritualised and this is what happens in an environment when there are no predictors, there are no signs.

“Nigerian politicians don’t believe they can just win an election by fighting hard, so they are expecting you to pray for success of their political enterprise.

“It is not about electoral outcomes or how well electoral laws are; it is that we are operating in an environment that is so dubiously spiritual.”

It's not a new thing sir, and with the crop of leaders and leaders of tomorrow we have now, I don't see it stopping. Nigeria is in a big mess, the diabolism is too much...


God help us
God save us

preach sir

My problem is not that they engage in spiritual activity, they engage in blood rituals taking innocent bloods just to win elections.

If Bishop Kukah is talking about seeking spiritual backing for political aspirations in line with one's belief then there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

However, there is everything wrong about administration of blood or demonic oath of allegiance by godfathers on their annointed candidates. That's not politics but pure spiritual slavery.

Too many Nigerians are into rituals today.

irresponsible politicians
