Politicians are struggling to get a piece of the National cake don't take them too seriously vote wisely --- Kukah Advices Nigerians


The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah has cautioned loyalists of politicians not to kill themselves in demonstrating support for their candidates.

According to him, opposition politicians are friends jostling for their piece of the national cake and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

Kukah's statement is coming after the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu and his Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar bantered at the private wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday.

The clergy man said political fanatics should learn a lesson from the public exchange of pleasantries between Tinubu and Atiku.

Political loyalists of both frontline presidential candidates for the 2023 election should be wise, eschew violence and not kill themselves for people drinking from the same pool.

"These politicians are struggling and they’ve lived their lives struggling for the national cake which they will distribute amongst themselves. It is therefore in the interest of ordinary Nigerians to know that they have to vote to stay alive,"

Kukah also said that enthusiasts of politicians “must understand that these politicians know themselves” regardless of their grandstanding and posturing.

"We ordinary people must figure out how to manage our passion when it comes to politics. Don’t take seriously the grandstanding of the politicians.

"All the things you see about them abusing themselves or quarrelling, you will think they will never shake hands. They are very good friends, and many of them drink from the same pool. So, don’t go and kill yourself for nothing. That is what that message is all about," he said.
