The Catholic Bishop Of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, Has Urged Christians To Stop Attributing Nigeria’s Challenges To The Constitution, Judiciary, Police, Or Other Public Officials.
Delivering His Christmas Message On Wednesday, Kukah Reminded Christians In Nigeria Of Their Role As The Light Of The World.
“I Appeal To Christians Not To Forget That We Are The Light Of The World, The City On The Hill That Cannot Be Hidden. Christians Must Not Allow The Structural Weaknesses, The Foibles And Failures Of The Nigerian State, To Become An Excuse For Doing Wrong.
“We Cannot Continue To Blame The Constitution, The Judiciary, The Police, Or Other Public Servants For The Corruption In Our Society,” Bishop Kukah Said.
The Cleric Noted That Corruption Is Another Word For Not Keeping The Words And Promises Made By Christians At Baptism.
“We Swore To Be Faithful To Christ At Baptism Before We Encountered The Constitution. The Constitution Is A Human Instrument With Limitations And Flaws. However, The Word Of God Is A Divine Command And Inerrant. Good Christians Have The Laws Of God Written In Their Hearts (2 Cor. 3:3) They Need No Other Law,” He Added.
