Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah delivered a profound exploration of democracy’s role in Nigeria’s evolution from military rule to flourishing democratic state.
Bishop Kukah emphasized that democracy is a continuous process requiring persistent effort, reflection, and a commitment to the common good, rather than a singular event.
Reflecting on 25 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria, Bishop Kukah acknowledged the nation’s significant progress while candidly addressing the ongoing challenges.
He highlighted that democracy’s success hinges on collective participation and the moral integrity of its citizens, urging Nigerians to view democracy as a shared responsibility.
Bishop Kukah’s speech was a rallying call for ethical leadership and the creation of a just and equitable society. He passionately advocated for Nigeria to learn from its past, embrace its culture and historical roots, and ensure the rights and dignity of all citizens are upheld.
On the economic front, Bishop Kukah underscored the importance of a free market economy in driving national development. He called for inclusive policies that prioritize the welfare of all Nigerians, particularly the marginalized and underprivileged, rather than benefiting only the elite.
His message serves as a powerful reminder that the true measure of democracy lies not in the wealth of a few but in the well-being and prosperity of all citizens.
As Nigeria looks towards the future, Bishop Kukah’s words inspire a vision of unity, justice, and sustainable development, urging every Nigerian to contribute to building a nation where democracy and economic progress coexist harmoniously.
Bishop Kukah’s address at The Platform 2024 is a clarion call for all Nigerians to work towards a nation where democracy truly serves its purpose – enhancing the lives and voices of every citizen.
