He called on Kukah to help build Nigeria, claiming that the responsibility of building the country is on his shoulder.

 

Speaking at the event Tinubu said, “You are building an institution in the honour of your 70, I am 70 too I could still contribute. I am just months older than you are.

 

“But Bishop, you will help build Nigeria. The greatness of a nation is on your shoulder. It’s on my shoulder, too, and we must build it together.
