Bishop Kukah Sounds Alarm on Insecurity, Calls for Urgent Action
In his 2026 Easter message titled Faith and Hope in Times of Turbulence, Bishop Matthew Kukah warns that Nigeria faces “endless turbulence” and risks drifting into a deeper crisis without swift steps to restore trust, security and good governance. He highlights a spiralling humanitarian catastrophe marked by thousands killed, millions displaced and devastated communities. The cleric criticises political elites for unfulfilled campaign promises and short-term relief measures that expose deeper failures in governance and planning. He also warns that growing distrust in the military is pushing desperate citizens into dangerous alliances with criminal groups, trading the future of their communities for survival. Despite the grim picture, Kukah urges Nigerians—particularly Christians—to hold onto faith and moral responsibility. He calls for collective action, reminding everyone that prayer must be matched by practical efforts to rebuild the nation and prevent becoming guilty bystanders.
