He, however, urged Nigerians not to take opposition politicians serious, ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The Cleric who said that the politicians are friends fighting for their piece of the national cake, advised their supporters not to kill themselves while demonstrating support for their candidates.
Kukah said these on Tuesday while fielding questions on the Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme.
He said, “These politicians are struggling and they’ve lived their lives struggling for the national cake which they will distribute amongst themselves. It is therefore in the interest of ordinary Nigerians to know that they have to vote to stay alive.
"The enthusiasts of politicians must understand that these politicians know themselves regardless of their grandstanding and posturing."
Kukah advised supporters of political candidates to be a bit more restrained and wise, the cleric urged people to figure out how to manage their passion when it comes to politics, adding that people should not take seriously the grandstanding of the politicians.
