I have nothing to do with Biafra article credited to me, says Kukah

Matthew Kukah

Mathew Kukah, bishop of Sokoto diocese of the Catholic Church, has disowned a statement on Biafra credited to him.

In the piece trending on social media, the fiery preacher allegedly said if he had his way, he would cease to be a Nigerian.

“Anyone who thinks the Biafra agitation is a nuisance and irritating should know that it is not the collective aspiration of all Igbo but especially that no one has the monopoly of nusinace. Nuisance begets nuisance. When you stay with potash loaders you too will share in their dusty hair,” he was quoted tom have said.

“It is in this country that the same standards are not held against all. Some can get away with anything but others cannot get away with something. I shudder at those who blame the agitators for agitating.

“If I have my way I will cease to be a Nigerian because there is no sense of nationhood.”

But in a statement personally signed by him, Kukah denied uttering those words.

“Here is a disclaimer for notice of the general public,” he said in a statement.
