Activist Urges Faith Leaders to Speak Truth Amid Concerns Over Christian Persecution in Nigeria
Civil rights activist Dr. Thompson Udenwa has called on faith leaders to resist selective criticism and speak truth to power regardless of political climate. He criticized Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, for allegedly changing his position on addressing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
Udenwa questioned Bishop Kukah's recent comments and noted a perceived retreat from his previous outspoken stance on the issue. The activist highlighted the importance of international recognition of Christian persecution in Nigeria and urged the global community not to punish the country but to support efforts to address security and governance challenges.
