“Bishop Hassan Kukah did not attack Islam and has nothing to apologise about. He has always sought for religious tolerance and peaceful co-existence between Christians and Muslims. Those that demand that he “must apologise” or “leave Sokoto” must mind their utterances and keep the peace. If anyone can provide me with a video of Kukah calling for violence against Muslims or inciting people against Islam I will give him one million naira”.
It is most disconcerting when a handful of mischievous, reckless, dangerous and hopelessly misguided religious zealots and ethnic bigots that ought to know better, like the Sokoto-based Muslim Solidarity Forum, issue threats and give quit notices and ultimatums to leading members of the Christian community like Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah.
