The full statement:
“DISCLAIMER ON BEHALF OF
BISHOP MATTHEW HASSAN KUKAH
It has come to our notice that over the years, the name of our Bishop,
Most Rev. Dr Matthew Hassan Kukah has been freely circulated
around the social media by fraudsters seeking financial and other
favours from prominent citizens across the country.
Over the last six or so years, many innocent people have parted with
their hard-earned money running into millions of naira in the name
of donations to causes attributed to either our Bishop or the Diocese
of Sokoto. We issued disclaimers but this has persisted.
Should anyone make a request in our Bishop’s name to you or your
organization, please kindly call, text, chat or email our Chancery for
confirmation and clarification (Fr. Chris Omotosho: 08027307423;
Fr. Cornelius Tagwai: 08035776334; dioceseofsokoto@gmail.com,
oshochris@gmail.com)
Secondly, in the last few days, certain desperate individuals have
been circulating fake stories purported to be the result of an interview
that our Bishop granted to Channels television. It is claimed in the
doctored and slanted text that the Bishop said that neither Alhaji
Abubakar Atiku nor Peter Obi qualify to be President and that only
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu best qualifies. Those who are interested in what
our Bishop said in the interview can find the full version online. This
piece of information should be treated as fake news as the Bishop did
not comment on any of these Nigerians by names in the said
interview.
Chiafalu
Rev. Fr. Christopher A. Omotosho
Director, Directorate of Social Communications
Catholic Diocese of Sokoto
20th March, 2023”.
