The Christian Association of Nigeria in the 19 northern states and the FCT has warned the Presidency and the Muslim Rights Concern against twisting the homily delivered by the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop MATHEW KUKAH on Christmas day.

This is also as the Catholic Church described those attacking the Bishop as agents of evil.

KUKAH had in the Christmas message titled, 'A nation in search of vindication', accused the President of nepotism, noting that BUHARI was deliberately sacrificing the dreams of Nigerians to institutionalise northern hegemony.

The cleric's statement attracted sharp criticisms and condemnations from the Presidency and MURIC.

But in a statement in Kaduna, the Northern CAN defended the cleric, noting that the message reflected the currently reality across the country.

The statement authored by the Vice Chairman, Northern CAN, Rev. JOHN HAYAB, said the association was shocked at an attempt by the Presidency and MURIC to twist the message and warned against such.
