Bishop Kukah made this known on a Channels TV programme on Friday, where he called for political office holders to show accountability and display sportsmanship in accepting electoral results.
“The truth of the matter is that the Nigerian political elites have shown no commitment to the rules of the game of politics; they are too many people who just see politics as a transaction just imagine an entry fee of 100 million Naira to be able to buy a form,” he said. “Imagine the huge amount of money that people are asked to pay; it is just like going to watch a match or going to the nightclub. If you charge that much fee, what are you going to expect when you enter the hall. We are now hearing stories of the problem of vote buying and so on.”
The 70-year-old prelate believes the country’s democracy was below par as compared to other African nations.
They know that the rules prevent their nefarious activities, that's why they use the same economical enmeshed citizens to do their beadings.
