Why SOKAPU supported Kukah’s coup ideology, by Arewa Youth

By AbdulGafar Alabelewe, Kaduna

Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has said the Southern Kaduna People’s Union, (SOKAPU) was only supporting Bishop Mathew Kukah’s ideology on coup in the country because it has lost its relevance.

The forum stated this in response to SOKAPU youth wing’s rejoinder to its call for Bishop Kukah’s arrest for delivering the controversial Christmas message.

Nothing must happen to Kukah, ECWA warns

According to him, “SOKAPU’s frustrated desperation, veiled in a recent statement purportedly in response to our disagreement with Mathew Hassan Kukah’s treacherous call to mutiny against the state came a few months after it was silenced by a group of peace loving southern Kaduna indigenes who rejected their divisive antics.
