During the celebration of Aare Afe Babalola’s 60th Anniversary called to bar celebration, father Matthew Hassan Kukah, the current bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, stated that we still don’t know who’s going to be our president, months after swearing in our president. He added that our election is like a goal that is being scored in a football match, where the goal is yet to be decided by the VAR.

Bishop Kukah stated that the extent to which we should be praising our democracy must move in line with how it is being practised. He continued by saying that leadership under a civilian government does not necessarily guarantee the practise of democracy.
According to him, “Do we resemble a democracy? Do we work like a democracy? Do we talk like a democracy because, up until now, months after our election and after swearing in our president, we still don’t know who’s going to be the president of Nigeria after the Supreme Court is over? Very much Akin to the introduction of the video assistant referee in football, in which case we’re like a man who has scored a goal, but we have to wait for the referee to go to the VAR and confirm whether it is a goal or not.. It’s a symptom of how modest our claim should be because we very often confuse the very fact that we’re in a civilian administration with the notion of being in a democracy. If we cannot fix our electoral process, which is the defining law for how to choose leaders in a democracy, then we must be modest in our saying that we’re in a democracy.”
