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 killings.
