Buhari plan to arrest Bishop Kukah over his Christmas message – Melaye alleges
Arrest or try to embarass Bishop Kukah and we will prove to you that Government is not owned by you but the people, Dino Melaye said.
The Senator represents Kogi West in the 8th National Assembly, Dino Melaye, has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari, planned to arrest the Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Mathew Kukah, over his Christmas message.
The former senator warned Buhari against attempting to arrest the Bishop Kukah.
Newsflash247 had earlier reported that Bishop Kukah accused President Buhari of crass nepotism like never experienced in the history of Nigeria.
Bishop Kukah, in his Christmas message titled, “A Nation in Search of Vindication” delivered in Sokoto on Friday, noted that President Buhari had succeeded in sacrificing the dreams of Nigerians on the altar of nepotism by pursuing Northern hegemony.
According to him, there could have been a coup or war in the country if a non-Northern Muslim became president and does some of the things Buhari had done.
Following the development, the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, launched an attack on the Bishop.
MURIC accused Kukah of being a first class blackmailer.
Reacting, Melaye in a Tweet warned Buhari against arresting or embarrassing Bishop Kukah.
He also said the President will be shown that the government isn’t owned by him but the people if he fails to heed to the warning.
“Arrest or try to embarass Bishop Kukah and we will prove to you that Government is not owned by you but the people.
“They want to scare everybody. Kill fear and speak the truth to power,” he wrote.
