Arewa Group Tackles Kukah Over Comment On Buhari’s Govt by iwaeda: 12:59pm On Dec 28, 2020
The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has described Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah’s recent statement as unguarded and open incitement to military coup and insurrection against the democratically elected government of Muhammadu Buhari.


In a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima on Monday, the group condemned “Kukah’s use of nepotism as a weapon of calumny against government and people of Nigeria.”

The AYCF demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of Bishop Kukah for what it described as a treasonable felony against the Nigerian state.

In the alternative, the group called on Federal Government to place Kukah on a special watchlist for this open attempt to “set the South against the North in order to destabilize our country and further complicate matters.”


Shettima, in the statement, took exception to what his group described as “Kukah’s latest role in devil’s advocacy, as the North struggles to restore peace and enduring security in the region and indeed Nigeria.”

The statement noted that “such a reckless statement by Kukah betrays something much more sinister against both the North and the nation as a whole because Nigeria is at a stage that it requires responsible advice for attaining peace and stability, not deliberate attempt to mischievously compound our problems.

“If Kukah wants to play politics, he should not do so in the pulpit and he should keep the Bishop’s office aside and chose any Nigerian political party platform to contest President in 2023 and stop all the pretences,” the statement said.

It reminded Kukah of the rough road democracy heroes passed through to rid the nation of military dictatorship at a time when he was nowhere in sight.

“We will not allow opportunists who didn’t make any contribution to scuttle the democracy achieved through our sweat and toil and the sacrifice of our liberty,” Shettima said in the statement.

They are happy about the killings, as long as it does not touch their demi god, Buhari.

Drama, Kukah’s opinion reflects the opinion of a large percentage of southerners

Kukah should just relocate with his family to the Southern part of the country before they chop off his head and leave those supporters of evil .

You become an enemy of the state once you speak the undiluted truth which the ruling people and their supporters don't want to hear.

Pls use your brain; the Sultan didn't say the same thing: the Sultan only lamented about the killings in the north and called for improvement in security; just like many other northerners and northern groups were complaining about; on the other hand Bishop Kukah played to the gallery by delving into divisive religious and regional politics using factually incorrect statements.

It was factually incorrect to suggest that Buhari would have suffered a coup had he not been a northerner; because many other northern leaders, including Buhari himself have been overthrown by coups before; while southerners, like Obj and GEJ (who were directly responsible for more killings e.g. Odi & Zaki Biam, or suffered worst security challenges) did not.

Secondly, impartial analysis of Buhari's appointments would indicate that he in fact favoured the south more than the north - contrary to southern propaganda and the ongoing false narrative of nepotism against him.

Lastly, Bishop Kukah's message embodied a thinly veiled invitation for a coup against the government; which by itself was a treasonable offence and which neither the Sultan or anyone anyone of similar repute has done.

What is the difference between lamentation of Sultan and what Revd Fthr Hassan Kukah said?
