Bishop Matthew Kukah has been requested to resign from the Basic Abdul Salaam-led Nationwide Peace Committee.
Making the decision is the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), in a press release signed and made obtainable to DAILY POST by the director of the group, Prof Ishaq Akintola.
Recall that Bishop Kukah of the Sokoto Archdiocese of the Catholic Church had in his Christmas message to Nigerians, bemoaned the nepotism which, in keeping with him, has characterised the federal government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The cleric claimed there might have been a coup or struggle within the nation if a non-Nothern Muslim was the president within the final 5 years and did a few of the issues Buhari is doing.
MURIC mentioned it believes that these feedback by the cleric are inconsistent together with his standing, significantly because of the secretary of Nigeria’s Peace Committee.
“How did such a belligerent combatant emerge because of the secretary of Nigeria’s Peace Committee? What good can come from a person who’s crammed with hate and bias for a big part of the nation?” MURIC’s assertion requested.
“We demand that Kukah ought to honourably recuse himself from the Peace Committee. Failure to take action may have a devastating impact on discrediting that committee. It should imply that the committee was arranged within the first place for a partisan objective,” the group mentioned.
In line with MURIC, Muslims in Nigeria will now not have any confidence within the committee, including that the committee might as effectively be disbanded.
MURIC questioned why the committee had remained silent ever for the reason that Bishop launched the assertion, including that this can be interpreted to imply that the secretary is holding members of the committee to ransom.
MURIC is known as for the instant overview of the composition and operation of the Peace Committee.
