As a message on national issues by the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Kukah, continue to raise dust, the President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has thrown its weight behind him.
Kukah had lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari over worsening insecurity in the country, while accusing him of brazen nepotism.
He said if it was not a Buhari, a Music from the north, who was practising the alleged nepotism, were would have been a coup.
The Federal Government and some other people have interpreted this for a call for a coup, and challenged Kukah in various comments.
More people are also speaking for him.
The PFN’s President, Dr.Felix Omobude, on Wednesday warned that he (Kukah) should not be used as the sacrificial lamb.
Addressing journalists in Benin, Edo State, Omobude said, “Bishop Kukah is an advocate of democracy so he could not have been calling for the military overthrow of the government. The issues that he raised are very glaring and germane.
“Now, it is only in this country that you can’t talk against government and go free. What is the dust for? I know that the minister of information is paid for his job but he should be honest enough to face certain truth.
“Bishop Kukah spoke the minds of genuine Nigerians. And any attempt by anybody to impose a section of the nation upon the other, is bound to cause chaos.
“Bishop Kukah should be seen as a patriot and not a sacrificial lamb. He is not a hater of government but he is a lover of truth. I stand wholeheartedly by his views.”
