Boot to recovery root console and run:

chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers

Then reboot with:

reboot

Looks like you have been messing with the file so you don't need sudo to edit it...I suggest you don't as you will get this sort of thing

If you add a user to the admin group, it will be allowed to use sudo. Its that simple :)

CentOS isn't supported here. I suggest you post on a CentOS forum for that.
