Matthew Kukah, Catholic bishop of Sokoto, says the political system in the country is lucrative, which is the reason why candidates want to win elections at all costs.He also said the violence associated with elections is not farfetched from the reward system associated with politics. “It is the reward system in the political system that encourages violence, because if you see the almost automatic change in quality of life and the opportunities that come to people who are holding public office or who win elections, you realise that the rewards are a zero sum game. To be out like somebody said, you lose elections you could actually lose your life,” he said.
“So, the consequences on this creates the desperation among Nigerians that our man or our woman must win at all costs. “Otherwise, if politics were just for service, we wouldn’t have needed to fight about service. So, all these people who are telling you ‘vote for us, we will work for you’, the history suggests something different.”
