Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, a sacrificial lamb for speaking the truth in his Christmas message.
It would be recalled that Kukah had accused Buhari of being nepotistic, while alleging that there would have been a coup if someone from another region did “half of the things that Buhari has done.”

The Bishop's statement had however stirred up controversy as northerners called for his arrest.
PFN have now reacted, stating that it is only in Nigeria that one will speak the truth and be arrested for it.
Felix Omobude who spoke on behalf of the Christian group in Benin on Wednesday December 30, said that Bishop Kukah spoke the minds of genuine Nigerians and any attempt by anybody to impose a section of the nation upon the other is bound to cause chaos.
He also pointed out that Bishop Kukah was a lover of truth and should be praised not seen as a sacrificial lamb.
“Kukah spoke on what is in the minds of most Nigerians and should be commended for voicing out when others kept quiet when things were getting out of control.
“Well, I appreciate Bishop Kukah. I don’t think we have interacted one-on-one but if you follow him, you will know that he is down to earth when it has to do with telling the truth.
“Bishop Kukah is an advocate of democracy so he could not have been calling for the military overthrow of the government. The issues that he raised are very glaring.
“Now, it is only in this country that you can’t talk against the government and go free. What is the dust for? I know that the minister of information is paid for his job but he should be honest enough to face certain truth.
“People call Mr Trump all kinds of names and never has anybody been sued for insulting him but people have been sued in Nigeria for insulting the president.

“So, Bishop Kukah spoke the minds of genuine Nigerians. And any attempt by anybody to impose a section of the nation upon the other is bound to cause chaos.
“Bishop Kukah should be seen as a patriot and not a sacrificial lamb. He is not a hater of government but he is a lover of truth. I stand wholeheartedly on his views,” Omobude said.
