The Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah ah has denied calling for a military coup in the country.
He stated this while responding to questions on his recent Christmas’ message which generated a lot of controversy.
“What I thought is my innocent message which is something I do all the time, which I released on Christmas day, it seemed it has gotten a lot of attention.
” I am sure many of you have followed the reaction but I want to state my own side of the issue as I understand it.
According to him, “One of the difficulties we have in Nigeria and many parts of Africa, is how to manage views that are not the same with ours.”
He explained that “if you call for a coup, it means it is something that has not happened yet. It is something that will happen in the future.
” So if I call for it, it means it is not ready.
“So it is unfair for any journalist or newspapers to say that I call for a military coup,” he said.
Kukah also insisted that there was no problem between him and President Buhari.
