Kukah: Nigerians Are Frustrated by 2023 General Election Outcome 

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah has noted that Nigerians are collectively frustrated by the outcome of the 2023 general election and it is almost impossible to convince them that they can find justice.

This is contained in a statement made by the Catholic Bishop on Sunday, where he described Nigerians as men and women returning from a funeral with forlorn looks.

The cleric condemned the intimidation, suppression and violence that trailed the elections, noting it cannot be accepted as the new ladder to power.

He lamented that every part of the country today look forlorn, disconsolate, lugubrious, and despondent, claiming that the “swagger” we use to have as a nation has gone. 

Consequently, he observed that even the victors are blowing a muted trumpet.

Nevertheless, he snapped that violence and bloodshed are clearly unacceptable and not be taken as the normal route to power.

He likened the blood of those who have been murdered which continues to cry out to heaven seeking for justice to that of Abel, in the holy books.

The bishop empathised with aggrieved citizens and asked them not to give up in the quest for justice but to align their hopes with the celebration of Easter, stressing that Nigerians shouldn’t allow their anger hold them prisoner.

He further appealled to Nigerians not to show their anger through violence but to transform it to a motivation to seek justice.

Kukah reiterated that the urgent task is to restore the dignity of the Nigerian nation and her citizens, noting that Nigerians have for too long been beaten by the rain and the sun of injustice.
