Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work.

BISHOP KUKAH URGES CHRISTIANS NOT TO USE NIGERIA'S CHALLENGES AS JUSTIFICATION FOR UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR. (PHOTO).

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has urged Christians in Nigeria not to forget that they are the light of the world.

In his Christmas message on Wednesday, Kukah said that Christians cannot continue to blame the Constitution, the judiciary, the police, or other public servants for the corruption in our society.

“I appeal to Christians not to forget that we are the light of the world, the city on the hill that cannot be hidden. Christians must not allow the structural weaknesses, the foibles and failures of the Nigerian state, to become an excuse for doing wrong.

“We cannot continue to blame the Constitution, the Judiciary, the Police, or other public servants for the corruption in our society,” Bishop Kukah said.

He noted that corruption is another word for not keeping the words and promises made by Christians at baptism.

“We swore to be faithful to Christ at baptism before we encountered the Constitution. The Constitution is a human instrument with limitations and flaws. However, the Word of God is a divine command and inerrant. Good Christians have the laws of God written in their hearts (2 Cor. 3:3) They need no other law,” he added.
