The Convener of the General Abdulsalami Abubakar-led National Peace Committee (NPC) and Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Revd (Dr) Matthew Hassan Kukah, has said that going by the number of killings and violence recorded during the 2019 general elections, Nigerians are disappointed in the political system.

Sounding furious, Kukah said that there was no need to have wasted such lives or engaged in violence if the motive for elective offices was simply just to serve.

Kukah who spoke with Sunday Sun on the side-line of the First Plenary Meeting of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria in Abuja, however, said that only time can engender the type of democracy that Nigerians yearn for.

“Why do people really want to get into government? If it were just to serve, you don’t need to kill anybody or there doesn’t have to be violence. But the most important thing is that all these are just evidences of the quality and calibre of men and women that we have to deal with in the name of politics,” he said.
