“Our individual hearts are broken. Our family dreams are broken. Homes are broken. Churches, Mosques, infrastructure are broken. Our educational system is broken. Our children’s lives and future are broken. Our politics is broken. Our economy is broken. Our energy system is broken. Our security system is broken. Our roads and rails are broken. Only corruption is alive and well.”

Mr. Kukah is known for his courage in speaking the truth to power.

Speaking further

His message this year appears to be stronger with the cleric saying, “Nigerians can no longer recognise their country which has been battered and buffeted by men and women from the dark womb of time.”

"The real challenge before us now is to look beyond politics and face the challenge of forming character and faith in our country."

The call

Mr Kukah called on all religious leaders in Nigeria to urgently come to the country’s rescue.

Easter: Buhari sends message to Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari has rejoiced with Christians as they mark this year's Easter celebration.

According to Buhari, the message of Easter reminds Nigerians of the power of divine love, faith, and redemption as a nation.

He said this year's celebration is very unique for adherents of the two great faiths as it culminated the 40-day season of Lent for Christians and halfway into the holy month of Ramadan.
