Obj, Gowon, Anyim Grace Kukah’s Ordination by YoursGEJ(m): 11:44am On Sep 10, 2011
Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo; ex-Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim as well as three serving governors, were among the thousands of people that witnessed the episcopal ordination and installation of Right Reverend Mathew Hassan Kukah as the 4th Bishop of the Sokoto Catholic diocese.

In his message to the ordination ceremony which was held on Thursday at the Sokoto trade-fair ground, President Goodluck Jonathan tasked the new Catholic Bishop of Sokoto to preach the gospel of Jesus and ensure the attainment of peace through dialogue.

President Jonathan, who was represented by Chief Anyim, said this was because the need for peaceful co-existence among Nigerians could not be overemphasised especially at this critical period when the nation was facing security challenges.

He said going by the contributions the new bishop had been making in the service of God, he had the confidence he would succeed in the new task placed on him.

Also speaking, the Bishop of Jos diocese, Most Reverend Ignatius Kaigama, said the experience he garnered in his stay in Jos had shown that fire for fire approach was not the solution to crises in Nigeria.

He said dialogue remained the best option towards the resolution of the crises currently bedevelling the country.

Most Reverend Kaigama who said those who used religion as a cover to foment trouble leading to crisis of monumental dimensions must be punished lamented the failure of Christians and Muslims in Nigeria to live according to the teachings of the two religions of peaceful disposition towards one another.

Truly great Nigerian. He has contributed the little he can to see that this country is a better place.
