According to ECWA, there is no use denying that the country under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is now a centre for bloodshed.

The church leadership went on to warn against anything happening to Kukah, adding that the Nigerian leader should face the job for which he swore to and fulfill his campaign promises.

They said rather than the federal government dissipating its energy to sponsoring fake groups to attack the bishop, the government must immediately take steps towards addressing those concerns raised by Kukah

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Lauretta Onochie, Buhari's aide on social media, lent her voice to the ongoing saga involving the Bishop Kukah.

Onochie, in response, insinuated that Kukah's outburst may have come as a result of Buhari refusing to part with money.

In a post on her Twitter page on Monday, December 28, she said both the president and the cleric have met a number of times and she shared photos to back her claim.

In a related development, the Christian Association of Nigeria has accused the federal government and the president of Muslims Rights Concern, Professor Ishaq Akintola, of twisting Bishop Kukah’s statement against the Buhari-led government.
