The Archbishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Bishop Matthew Kukah, has reacted to the recent court judgments on elections in the country.
Kukah lamented the involvement of the judiciary in politics at the 8th House of Justice Summit in Kaduna, where he was keynote speaker at the weekend.
Speaking on the summit theme: ‘Electoral Accountability and Democratic Stability,’ Kakuh said it was unfortunate that the Nigerian judiciary had become entangled in politics.
“I am saddened by the fact that the judiciary has now found itself being sucked into politics,” Kukah said.
“Elections will always give us what I call unintended consequences but it is also important to understand that a contest is always a contest and you use the experience of this to prepare for the next contest,” he added.
