Kukah bemoans waning Catholic influence in Nigeria

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, has expressed concerns about the declining influence of the Catholic Church in Nigeria's public life. He called on the Church to renew its values and reclaim its position.

This statement was reported by Punch Nigeria and another Punch outlet, with identical text.

There was no additional information provided about the current influence of the Catholic Church or Kukah's plans to achieve his goal.

In a separate development, Dele Momodu of the African Democratic Congress discussed the role of Nasir El-Rufai in President Bola Tinubu's emergence as president in 2023, but this does not relate to Kukah or the Catholic Church.
