The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, gave the advice in a statement in Abuja while reacting to 2022 Easter message by the Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Sokoto, Most Rev. Mathew Kukah.
Shehu noted that, from his pulpit, Kukah devoted his Easter message not to Christ’s death and rebirth so Man might be saved – but to damning the government in the most un-Christian terms.
According to him, Kukah neglects the Bible’s teachings in James 1:26: “If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless”.
Kukah’s Easter message was delivered at a mass service on Sunday, in Sokoto.
He advised the President to concede that it was within his powers to decide how we are going to end the war that had engulfed and was tearing down our nation.
