The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan Kukah has warned those ‘turning blind eye’ to the mounting security challenges in the country not to take the patience of the military for granted.
The cleric insisted that there had to be Nigeria before anybody could be president.
He pointed out that hate speech and other issues that surrounded the 2015 election are still within the country.
Bishop Kukah spoke at a press briefing on the forthcoming pubic lecture tagged: “How To Make Democracy Work For Africa”, organized by The Kukah Centre.
He said Nigerians have been patient and have also witnessed the patience of the military for 18 years.
“We as Nigerians should not take the patience of the military for granted,” he warned.
