Bishop Matthew Kukah
By Reverend Dr. Gideon Para-Mallam, a Global Mission Leader, Social Justice and Peace Advocate, President & CEO, The Para-Mallam Peace Foundation
FOR more than 44 years that Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah has served as a Priest, till date, this would be the first time his Christmas homily has been so widely read and talked about nationwide, perhaps globally, thanks or no thanks to social media.
For all practical purposes, the Nigerian Presidency gave oxygen to Kukah’s homily! If I were Bishop Kukah, I would say, ‘thanks Mr. President for the publicity you have given to my homily in this remarkable unforgettable year 2020.’

By Levinus Nwabughiogu-Abuja
Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN have risen in defence of Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, saying he never in his Christmas message made any expression suggesting an affront to Islam or a call for a coup.
The Christian body, therefore, accused the Federal government and the President of Muslims Rights Concern, MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola of twisting Kukah’s message, stressing that it was injurious to the development of the country.
