Kukah Hits The Nail On The Head, Exposes The Politicians Only Concerned About Looting

Kukah

Bishop Matthew Kukah, the convener of the National Peace Committee, has asserted that politicians who proudly highlight their kinsmen’s prolonged stay in power are primarily focused on embezzling public funds.

Kukah made this statement during the 8th House of Justice Summit and Burgundy Ball Banquet in Kaduna on Friday, centered on the theme ‘Electoral Accountability and Democratic Stability.’

He criticized the practice of Nigerian politicians boasting about their extended tenures in power.

“When somebody tells you, ‘Muslims will be in power, Igbos will be in power, Yoruba will be in power, Hausa will be in power’, the only reason they are making that point is that they are just saying, ‘Our people will continue to steal from Nigeria and we will continue’ because without stealing, you cannot win elections,” he said.

“These characters who are telling you, ‘We will be in power for this period of time,’ are just saying, ‘We will continue to control the stealing box.’”

Kukah emphasized that when politicians boast about their communities’ enduring control of power, it tacitly supports a culture of corruption and electoral manipulation, with the main objective being the perpetuation of a system conducive to the mismanagement of public resources.

During his address, the bishop pointed out the arrogance displayed by politicians who, having structured systems in their favor, confidently forecast a 16-year hold on power.

He specifically criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which maintained power for 16 years until former President Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat in the 2015 presidential election.

“I think that at the height of their arrogance, after they had designed this thing to suit them, they now said we would be in power for 16 years,” he said.

“They didn’t anticipate that Jonathan would come and drop the ball and say, ‘No, I am a gentleman.’ Now, the shoe is on the other foot and you are going to continue to watch this feeling of arrogance: ‘We have it; we will hold it for this number of years.’”
