Before anything I know that there is a similar question HERE.
When I execute:
sudo bash
I get the following error:
/usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
This error 
However, there is a difference in my problem that does not permit me to solve it using that solution proposed as follows:
1. Log out as the current user, then log back in as root.
2. Execute chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo && chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo
3. Log out as root, then log back in as the current user.
Because I cannot log in as root.
My question is how can I log in as root to do first step ?
i.e. 1. Log out as the current user, then log back in as root.

How exactly did you mess the permissions up? Can you still usepkexecinstead ofsudoor did you break that one too?

"If you do not have a root user, restart and press Esc to enter the grub menu. There select Advanced options for Ubuntu and select recovery mode. Then select root and you can find yourself in the root shell. If you get an error that the filesystem is in read only mode, do: mount -o remount,rw / " -- answer #2, comment #1 of OP's link

If you type in the command it will show you the programs attributes. Then copy and paste the terminals output into your question. Don't use screen snapshot because those are hard to read. Thank you.
