Kukah: Crucify him! But why?
On

THE Christmas Day homily by the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Dr. Mathew Hassan Kukah, has generated a lot of reactions from government and sectarian circles. Some of the reactions, particularly those by Muslim groups, are so harsh that one wonders if a fatwa is not about to be pronounced on his head.
Expectedly, Christian groups have risen in defence of him. Mr. Lai Mohammed, the Minister for Information was the first to fire the salvo. In his attack, which in my opinion is borne out of a deliberate obfuscation of facts in the service of defending the indefensible, Mohammed, speaking on behalf of the Federal Government, accused Bishop Kukah of stoking the embers of disunity, sectarian strife and calling for violent regime change of a democratically elected government.

Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State has reiterated that there cannot be any development without peace, stressing that “we are the architect of our own problems.”
Masari stated this when he received the leadership of the Coalition of Northern Group led by Alhaji Nastru Ashiru Sheriff at the Government House Katsina on Monday.
Masari said: “We value politics and positions more than our people. I want you to propagate the fact that this issue of security should be off partisan politics and until it is treated as such we will not learn from our mistakes.
“We are the architect of our own problems, the forest areas were neglected since we got oil money and together with the herders, the cattle routes were destroyed because some of them had become sedentary farming on cattle routes and grazing lands,” he said.
