The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Most Reverend Matthew Kukah, has urged the incoming government to keep Nigerians alive before embarking on fulfilling electoral promises.

Kukah who stated this in his Easter message noted that while the country is preparing for the next administration, the pressing need for the incoming President, Bola Tinubu, should be to address the core issues facing the nation.

He expressed hope that the next government would recognize that Nigeria’s most urgent task is not the construction of physical infrastructure, but rather the establishment of a strong foundation of social justice, equality, and respect for human rights
