Insecurity: keep us alive first because only the living can enjoy infrastructure – Kukah tells Tinubu

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah has advised President-elect, Bola Tinubu to prioritize keeping Nigerians alive first before talking about infrastructure.

He asked Tinubu to eliminate the chains of ethnic and religious bigotry and to recover the country from the “men of darkness”.

The cleric made this known in his Easter message. According to him, the most urgent mission is to start a psychological journey of making Nigerians feel whole again by creating opportunities and hope for all

He said; “I am hopeful that you will appreciate that the most urgent task facing our nation is not infrastructure or the usual cheap talk about dividends of democracy. These are important but first, keep us alive because only the living can enjoy infrastructure.

“For now, the most urgent mission is to start a psychological journey of making Nigerians feel whole again, of creating a large tent of opportunity and hope for us all, of expanding the frontiers of our collective freedom, of cutting off the chains of ethnicity and religious bigotry, of helping us recover from the feeling of collective rape by those who imported the men of darkness that destroyed our country, of recovering our country and placing us on the path to our greatness, of exorcising the ghost of nepotism and religious bigotry,” the cleric said.
