The Youth Wing of the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) has described the call for the arrest of Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah over his Christmas message as baseless and senseless.
The group, in a statement signed by the SOKAPU National Youth Leader, Comrade John Isaac, said its “attention has been drawn to a statement credited to Arewa Youths Consultative Forum signed by its national president Yerima Shetima, calling for the arrest of Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah over his Christmas day message where the Bishop out of love for country stated that ‘considering the gross nepotistic leadership style of the president and his administration, the president would have been long overthrown if he were to be a Non-Northern Muslim’
“Yerima’s North is unarguably a valley of dry bones, a dent of terror and horror and unquestionably the most insecure and dangerous part of the country where no one is safe including the President.
“It is therefore unfortunate that the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum would call for the arrest of a Bishop who only pointed out the obvious.
“It thus appears that the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum is naive of historical facts.
“It is therefore imperative to remind the forum that President Buhari in 1983 thwarted a democratically elected Government of Shehu Shagari citing nepotism, insecurity, corruption, and the poor state of the economy all of which are worse today than they were in 1983.
“It has become necessary therefore to state in clear terms that the entire youths of Southern Kaduna distance and disassociate themselves from the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum’s call for the arrest of Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, a call we all consider not just baseless but senseless.
“The Buhari administration is undoubtedly the greatest political and administrative fiasco Nigeria has had since independence.
“We, the Youths and People of Southern Kaduna stand firmly with Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah and condemn any call for his arrest.
“We are calling on all well-meaning Nigerians to speak out and save the country from sliding into a failed state as the signals are at the moment clearly visible to the blind and audible to the deaf.”
