The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, on Monday, said Nigeria witnessed the ugliest face of corruption during the last administration led by ex-president Muhammadu Buhari.

He spoke in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, during a lecture he delivered at the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the call to bar of the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Aare Afe Babalola (SAN).

The lecture was titled ‘The future of constitutional democracy in Nigeria: Imperative of a new constitutional order’.

While clarifying that the trend didn’t start under Buhari, the cleric maintained that corruption festered under the ex-president’s watch.




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 talking about what happened under the Buhari administration.


In his lecture, Kukah made a case for men of integrity in the judiciary particularly at the Supreme Court.


The bishop, who called on the Federal Government to avoid sentiments in the process of the country’s democratic journey, said upholding the provisions of democracy required selfless service which should not be sentimentally driven to foster development.

He frowned at leaders who limited development to their hometowns, saying, “This does not project democracy. This does not speak well of our democracy.

“Nigeria needs to grow democratically and developed politically. Every federal institution must reflect what Nigeria should reflect all over the country. The country should stop reinforcing inequality. There must be sanctions and consequences for those who go against our democracy and the constitution of the land for us to have a better society”.

The lifeless wasn’t even aware of his environment, a very useless president

Corruption is Buhari and Buhari is Corruption.All the sanctimonious whitewashing of Buhari as the most holy anti-corruption czar by Tinubu and Co pre-2015 was just to enthrone a fraud so that it will be a turn of his emilokan inordinate ambition. What a wicked soul.

Buhari was one of the biggest scammer Nigeria ever had as a president

Fkmodhi:
The lifeless wasn’t even aware of his environment, a very useless president

Why are you talking now?
So life dey sweet you too.

That man should be probed for being an utter failure and naturally useless

Truth.But you should have said this when he's the president.

Tinububalls:
Why are you talking now?
So life dey sweet you too.

Matthew Kukah has always been a very vocal critic of the Daura failure even while he was in office.

Even idiots and nairaland sycophants will attest to that fact.

Buhari and his forty thieves

Yeah I agree but Baba Bulaba is seriously trying to make BUBU look like a saint. Just one month of getting into office and the dollar Buhari has been holding/dragging for 8 years almost doubled not to talk of the rising cost of goods.

Tinubu is sure looking like he is going to be worse than his predecessor.

Helinues get your shombo 🌶️ ass in here

Write a letter of complaint and send it to Buhari in his farm in Daura.
Why uno still dey carry Buhari for una head?

Irony is most of you can only afford to be online because of the Npower stipends PMB introduced and paid efficiently, or the NYSC pay rise he made.

But seriously, Buhari era is over, he is 80 years old and retired , so focus on the new president and the present day.,

Buhari just justified why he was kicked out by IBB and Co during his time as military head of state..

Toh

I now understand better the statement of UK PM
"Fantastically Corrupt"

You were one of his crusaders, talking about body language, mr integrity, incorruptible man et al. You kept defending the monumental failure even up to this moment, what a shame. When he handed over the whole security architecture and every critical sector of this year country to his brothers who looted it without reasoning, you were hailing him.
The same precedence Tinubu is following now by turning critical sectors into Yoruba affairs.
There are only three important times in the life of a man or even a country Viz: past, present and future. For you to succeed, you must compare your present to your past then plan for your future.

Nigeria is a country where people who are corrupt in their families, corrupt in their churches, corrupt in their mosques, corrupt in their offices, corrupt in their communities consistently blame a President for corruption.

100 million Nigerians want one man to come into their hearts and cure them of corruption.

What he does is always to blame Buhari for corruption, I dare say he never said a word about Jonathan.

Never heard him talk about corruption in the Sokoto State Government.


I was born a Catholic and will always be a Catholic but Even in Kukah's Catholic Church there is grave corruption and he knows this.

I would really like to know when Kukah directly or indirectly blamed Jonathan for corruption between 2010 and 2015 then I would take the political priest more seriously.

True but Tinubu is here to patch up things.

May Buhari never happen to us again

Kukah has been receiving tithes and offerings from Sokoto Archdiocese.

And corruption must be fought by everyone.

So Kukah needs to tell us how many corrupt people he has converted and made to repent within his Archdiocese.

Holluwhakemmy:
May Buhari never happen to us again

Stay there using Buhari as excuse.

Corruption will go worse if you don't fight the corruption within your family and community.
