The President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Dr. FELIX OMOBUDE, has said Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop MATTHEW KUKAH, should not be used as the sacrificial lamb.

Speaking to journalists in his church premises in Benin, OMOBUDE backed Bishop KUKAH for speaking the truth at "this critical time of our national life."

He described KUKAH as an advocate of democracy saying he could not have been calling for the military overthrow of the government.

KUKAH, in his Christmas message, titled, 'A nation in search of vindication,' accused the President of deliberately sacrificing the dreams of Nigerians to institutionalize northern hegemony.

The message had drawn the ire of the Presidency, the Northern Elders Forum, Muslim Rights Concern as well as the Coalition of Northern Groups.

Constitutional lawyer, Barrister FRED NZEAKO reacts to MURIC's request that KUKAH should recuse himself from the National Peace Committee.
