The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has called for the
arrest and prosecution of the Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Bishop Mathew
Hassan Kukah for treasonable fealony.
AYCF’s National President, Yerima Shettima said Kukah was
inciting coup against a democratic government.
Bishop Kukah, in his Christmas Day article, had accused
Buhari of nepotism, adding that there would have been a coup if a non-Northern
Muslim had become President.
Reacting to Kukah’s remark, Shettima urged the Federal
Government to place Bishop Kukah on a special watch list.
Shettima said Kukah was openly attempting to “set the South
against the North in order to destabilize our country and further complicate
matters.”
The statement reads partly: “The AYCF demands the immediate
arrest and prosecution of Bishop Kukah for what it described as treasonable
felony against the Nigerian state
“Such a reckless statement by Kukah betrays something much
more sinister against both the North and the nation as a whole.
“If Kukah wants to play politics, he should not do so in the
pulpit and he should keep the Bishop’s office aside and choose any Nigerian
political party platform to contest for President in 2023 and stop all the
pretences”.
