Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Most Revd. Matthew Kukah has asked church leaders to go beyond delivering sermons and issuing multiple statements in their fight for justice, peace, and reconciliation in the nation.
Kukah explained that no nation has ever progressed in its quest for justice and peace without good leaders representing the people in every arm of government.
Nigeria, he said, could not be an exception, hence the need for church leaders at all levels to guide their followers in active politics.
The Bishop said this while delivering the keynote address during a virtual conference organised by the Justice and Peace Commission of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference (SACBC), yesterday.

MURIC wants Bishop Kukah sacked as National Peace Committee Secretary

By Luminous Jannamike
The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has called for the sacking of the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Kukah, as the Secretary of National Peace Committee chaired by former Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar.
The organisation made the call in a statement signed by its Executive Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, on Tuesday.
The group said the call had become necessary because of Kukah’s failure to show remorse over his controversial Christmas Day message wherein he allegedly poured invectives on a particular religion.
It noted that members of the Abdulsalam Abubakar-led committee should be seen to be non-controversial because of the role they were meant to play in ensuring peace in the land.

CAN, Kukah Centre knock MURIC over call for sack as National Peace Committee Secretary
On
By Luminous Jannamike, ABUJA
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Kukah Centre, on Tuesday, faulted the call for the sacking of Bishop Matthew Kukah of Sokoto Catholic diocese as the Secretary of the National Peace Committee.
They said MURIC’s call came from a position of ignorance as the NPC is a non-governmental group convened by Bishop Kukah himself.
CAN and the Kukah Centre, therefore, advised the Muslim group to carry out adequate research next time before making such public demands.
