The Federal Government on Friday in Abuja warned the Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese, Rev. Fr. Mathew Hassan Kukah, not to indulge in “actions that are capable of dividing the country along religious
lines.”
The government, however, advised him to use his “high ecclesiastical office to work for religious harmony in Nigeria.”
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, issued the warning in a statement by his Special Assistant, Segun Adeyemi.
Adeyemi was reacting to a statement credited to Kukah in which he compared the Federal Government with Boko Haram.
The government said it was “not only disingenuous, but also a great disservice to the men and women in uniform who are daily battling the Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists to keep all Nigerians safe.”
