He spoke during a memorial ceremony of a noticeable community leader and a retired military officer, Lt. Col. Christopher Waziri Zonkwa in Kaduna state.
Hassan Kukah said it did not matter who becomes the President, emphasizing that Nigerians will be interested in somebody who will address the challenges facing them as citizens of the country.
He said it was unlucky that 50 years after, Nigerians were still speaking about the same problems that are facing the country and blame the leaders for their failure to move the nation to the way of growth.
Bishop Kukah said: “This is a country where people steal and go to other countries to set up businesses and buy houses. The issue of 2015 elections is not about who wins, but it is about somebody who is ashamed of the state of the Nigerian nation and strives to do the right thing.
“Whether the country will stand or fall, depends on whether the politicians will stop their greed. We cannot go on like this as a country.
“Everything in this country is done by arrangement; there is no how we can make progress when everything is done by arrangement.
“Nigeria is the only country that does not think and plan for the future, all the developed countries think and plan 10 years ahead. For instance if America hears of happenings in other parts of the world, they think of how it is going to affect the Americans and begin to plan ahead”.
