Nnamdi Kanu: Dialogue Is The Solution Not Military Approach - kukah
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah,
has said the way the Federal Government is going about the matter of Radio
Biafra Founder, Nnamdi Kanu is not the right way and a Military/Judiciary
approach to this matter, won’t help either. Kukah emphasized that we are in a
democratic era and so, the most appropriate thing to do his to dialogue. The
Bishop who spoke with Punch said;
“A military and judicial approach would not work. We are in
a democracy where dialogue, diplomacy and patience are the hallmarks of good
leadership. The Federal Government should open a backdoor channel to get Kanu
to renounce alleged hate speeches and violence.
“My position on Kanu is straightforward. I am not in any way
saying that he is innocent but in order to avoid upheavals and tension, the
government should settle through engagement. One of the parties has to trade
something for something else. We are not in a military regime. Dialogue is the
solution.”
He also spoke briefly on the recent Shiites/Army clash in Zaria and said
he was shocked that the President didn't declare a National mourning
despite the numbers of those that died.
