The encomiums and the tributes are pouring down like the cool rain on Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, ...

I do not think he witnessed justice; he witnessed a parade of men who spoke from both sides of the mouth; he witnessed the cynical abuse of justice; he witnessed the failure of our political leaders to live by their oath of office to do well by the people and the country. A country in this dungeon of a mess, to use Buhari’s word, needs men like Bishop Kukah to serve as its conscience; to speak out and force our political leaders to realise that governance is not about naked power but the proper exercise of power in building a nation. He had seen that religion had been dragged out of the closet and was likely to poison religious and ethnic relationships in our very diverse religious and ethnic nation. He was curious to know how a man with my kind of names became the editor of the New Nigerian in July 1982. Through his fault of being deft with the written word, he became one of my problems in the New Nigerian. Kukah later published his dissertation as a book with the arresting title of Religion, Politics and Power in Northern Nigeria in 1993. He was working on his dissertation and came to interview me on his subject dealing with the manipulation of religion in northern Nigeria. He has done titanic things as a Nigerian, as a priest, as a community leader, as a democrat, as a scholar, as a great advocate of unity and peace in our country and as one of the keepers and the guardians of the flickering flames of our democracy. He is a strong advocate of fairness and justice in our country, even when these go against the current grain in a country whose leaders and the led alike have lost their way and their soul in the filth of lucre; and where the many places of worship are attempts to deceive God, not praise him. When the bishop said that Nigeria is the ninth most dangerous country in the world for Christians to live in, he told it as it is about the current widening of our religious fault line. I believe he is as much feared as he is respected – and hated even, by those who hate to accept the bitterness with the bitter kola. He speaks the truth, the bitter truth, to power.
