Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has blamed Nigeria’s stagnancy on its unarguably obsolete political system, IgbereTV reports
Kukah, who was a guest on Friday, described Nigerian politics as completely unscientific and poor.
He bemoaned the cycle of poor leaders paraded in the country since its purported return to democrary, adding that the criteria for leadership selection could not pass tests regarding governance.
“Nigeria is playing politics without political science; what we are running is a glorified form of feudalism. The quality of the debate vindicated my stance”, Kukah said
“I had a discussion with GEJ before the event and we talked about the process of selecting leaders which cannot pass tests regarding governance. We cannot keep doing the same thing and not expect the same results and we have a new generation who understands the complexities of nation-building
