Mathew Kukah, Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, has said President Bola Tinubu has no excuse not to turn the fortunes of Nigeria around.
Kukah made this known in his 2023 Christmas message themed, “Time to Reclaim Nigeria’s Greatness,” stating neither God nor history will forgive Tinubu if he fails.
The cleric noted that the President has no excuse because, for many years, he had prayed, dreamt, wished and plotted to lead Nigeria.
He said, “Mr. President, Sir, congratulations and a happy Christmas. Now, you have what you prayed for, what you dreamt of, what you longed for. For the better part of over 20 years, you have plotted to be our President. For years, you campaigned for a new Nigeria through restructuring or overhauling the defective machinery of the Nigerian state.
“Mr President, you have no excuses before God or the people of Nigeria. Neither God nor history will not forgive you if you fail. This is our moment, our date with history. Now, all eyes and ears are on you. Our prayers for a united country are with you,” part of Kukah’s message read.
