Buhari in a handshake with Bishop Kukah
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday described the Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah as the ‘Most Vigorous Fighter’.
Buhari stated this when the executive members of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) paid him a courtesy visit.
Kukah had in his 2022 Christmas message attacked Buhari, noting that everything had failed in his administration.
He complained bitterly about nepotism, favoritism and breach of federal character in Buhari’s administration.
However, after the meeting today in Abuja, the president during group photographs, did away with all “malice” and shook hands with the Bishop, describing him as “most vigorous fighter.”
Commenting further on the Buhari’s gesture, the president’s special aide, Femi Adesina said “when the Bishop came into the Council Chamber, venue of the visit, he pulled me, and started laughing, asking whether we should be fighting or greeting each other.
“We laughed heartily,” Adesina stressed.
The presidential spokesman further disclosed that after it all, the Bishop invited him for a personal picture.
“Bishop Kukah was cooking peace this time, and how refreshing it was,” Adesina concluded.
