Had the same issue on my droplet on digital ocean. sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set. Below are command that ive execute and reboot after.

If you’ve only changed the permissions on /usr/bin/sudo, by all means, just fix that. But this question is about a total system change.
