With the call last week by a group asking Father Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, to either apologise or leave the state as a result of his Christmas message, the issue of the clergyman’s sin has again come to the fore.
Since the release of that message, Kukah has attracted the wrath of the Federal Government, the presidency, friends of the government as well as some interest groups in the North. Not only has he been alleged of calling for a violent overthrow of government, he has also been accused of opposing the president due to lack of patronage.

The bishop’s message was directed to the powers that be and could not in any way be said to have been directed to Muslims and Islam, a religion well known to profess peace.
