The founder, Living Christ Mission Inc., Most Rev. Prof. Daddy Hezekiah has condemned the ultimatum to vacate Northern part of the country issued to the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, by some leaders of the region following his new year message currently generating mixed reactions.
Hezekiah, who said the Bishop spoke the minds of Nigerians, urged the federal government to accord him maximum protection rather than allow him to be verified by anyone or group.
The Proprietor and Chancellor, Hezekiah University, Imo State, in a statement signed by his Special Assistant, Prof. Uriel Obiekwe Nwanolue, entreated Nigerians to rally round the embattled prelate in this difficult time.
“Bishop Kukah had said nothing wrong but what reflects the happenings in the country. Instead of the northerners giving him ultimatum to vacate Sokoto, they should implore the government of Nigeria to look into what Kukah said with a view to examining themselves, repositioning the country, taking corrections and making amendments where necessary.
“The Church leaders, the Christendom and well meaning Nigerians should rally round Bishop Kukah because he was speaking the minds of the generality of Nigerians especially the Christendom. Hence his personal security details should be fortified to guard against any eventuality, though God Almighty has been protecting him,” the statement added.
The man of God equally enjoined the federal government and Kaduna state government to quickly address the security challenges bedeviling Southern Kaduna, noting that all Nigerians should be allowed to enjoy the nation's constitutional rights and privileges.
According to him, “The federal government and Governor Nasir el-Rufai should sit up and do the needful towards protecting the lives of Southern Kaduna people. To this effect, the European Union, African Union, United Nations Organization and other notable International organisations are called upon to come to the rescue of the Southern Kaduna people. The people in southern kaduna especially Christians, are bonafide citizens of Nigeria and as such are entitled to enjoy the Nations constitutional rights, freedom and priviledges."
On the US general election, Prophet Hezekiah condemned the Wednesday 13th January, 2021 purported impeachment of President Donald Trump by the Nancy Pelosi led House of Representatives, describing it as a kangaroo impeachment, which was based on personal hate and absolute wickedness, by the US Democrats.
"According to Daddy Hezekiah, Trump's agitation over the November 3, 2020 Presidential election characterized by massive fraud, which was unprecedented in the history of The US, including Trump's condemnation of same sex marriage, legalisation of abortion and other attrocities, encouraged by the Democrats and their likes, necessitated the two callous kangaroo impeachments which were highly uncalled for and quite unconstitutional, devoid of any due process whatsoever. Daddy Hezekiah buttressed further that hearing was not conducted, no evidence, no witness and no defence, hence Trump has not committed any offence, let alone the kangaroo impeachment in question.
"This Great Philanthropist and Chancellor of Hezekiah University, however asked well meaning Americans to challenge this illegal impeachment in the law court, calling on them to remain firm and resolute in defending their mandate to President Donald Trump, especially ensuring that the proven intergrity and good legacies, bequetted by the US founding Fathers, are not destroyed by the Democrats, in a bid to fight Trump. Finally, this International Mayor of Peace, urged the geniune US citizens to remain peaceful, law abiding and united as the Almighty God is still on His throne and He is The Righteous Judge."
