Bishop Kukah Spoke Our Minds – ECWA Says
…Warns that nothing must happen to him
BY SEGUN ADEBAYO, ABUJA – The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) on Tuesday declared that there is there is nothing new about what Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah said on the acts of nepotism by President Muhammadu Buhari and the state of insecurity in the country.
ECWA in a statement by its General Secretary, Rev. Yunusa Sabo Nmadu Jnr. which was made available to Forefront, said that Bishop Kukah spoke the minds of majority of Nigerians, warning that it would resist any attempt by any group or agency of Government to harm him, stressing that “Enough of this intimidation”.
It pointedly said that as a matter of fact, Nepotism under General Buhari administration is topnotch, adding that this administration has a first class in nepotism and maladministration.
This is as it also said that the style of governance to silent dissent voices by the Major General Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is unacceptable and must be resisted.
ECWA therefor urged the Federal Government to as a matter of urgent national importance immediately take steps towards addressing those concerns raised by Bishop Kukah, rather than sponsoring fake groups to attack the revered Bishop.
The statement further states; “There is no denying the fact that Nigeria under General Buhari is now a centre of bloodshed. Killings, banditry, kidnappings and all forms of insecurities are now the order of the day. The President should face the job for which he swore to. Mr. President, fulfill your campaign promises, secure the country and make life better for all of us.
“The earlier this administration take steps to addressing these genuine concerns and stop living in denial, the better for them and the country.
“This country belongs to all of us. And No section of this country should be made superior than the other. We are bonafide citizens with equal rights. Enough of this shenanigans,” it stressed.
The ECWA General Secretary said he has read so many reactions to the Christmas message of the respected Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, with many of them coming from Muslim and Northern groups.
He noted that some of “these uncharitable” groups have even called for the arrest of our revered Bishop.
In the words of Nmadu Jnr.; “Arrest a man that spoke the minds of millions of Nigerian? They must be joking.
“We invite the international community and Nigerians to hold General Buhari and his government responsible should anything happen to Bishop Kukah. We are watching”.
