Bishop Mathew Kukah Urges Tinubu to Address Challenges Inherited by His Administration
The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Kukah has asked President Tinubu to find solution to the challenges inherited by his administration.
The cleric asked Tinubu to use the wealth of his experience to end the ethnic, regional and religious crisis in the country.
Kukah in his Christmas message on Monday said Tinubu would have no excuse not to solve Nigeria’s problems after plotting for more than 20 years to become Nigeria’s president.
He recalled how Tinubu campaigned vigorously for restructuring and overhauling of Nigeria, fought military doctorships and other forms of dictatorship in his quest for an egalitarian society.
