Sudo error: sudo: must be setuid root

Here is a solution to a common error when using sudo

momouser> sudo -l
sudo: must be setuid root
momouser>

To fix the error above chown and chmod the sudo file as root, in my case the file is in /usr/bin

root>chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo
root>chmod 4111 /usr/bin/sudo

That should fix the error and you should be able to sudo without a problem.
