SAHARA REPORTERS, NEW YORKAUG 15, 2015

Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto and member of the National Peace Committee, has said in an interview with SaharaTV that the Committee’s recent meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari was made at the behest of Goodluck Jonathan, who pleaded that it ask President Buhari to refrain from an all-out corruption probe of his administration.

In an exclusive interview with SaharaTV correspondent Rudolf Okonkwo, Bishop Kukah mentioned that prior to the meeting, the Committee had spoken with former President Goodluck Jonathan as well as Senate President Bukola Saraki. He said that President Jonathan specifically sent the Committee to President Buhari.

Bishop Kukah also discussed issues ranging from the possible probe on the Jonathan administration to prospects for peace in Nigeria.

Bishop Kukah commended President Buhari for the work he has so far done but stated that his Party, the All Peoples Congress (APC), was voted to govern, and that their focus should be on governing, which is what Nigerians are eager for. Bishop Kukah stated that he could tell President Buhari has been taking his job seriously since his inauguration.

When asked whether Bishop Kukah believes the Peace Committee was afraid that President Buhari may have been fair in the past when he probed previous governments for corruption, he made sure to convey how much the Committee wants Mr. Buhari to use due process during investigations.

“A point we want to make very clear is that we are in a democracy, and [this] is an investigation, not a probe. We were simply saying that we don’t think anyone should be criminalized when nobody has been brought before a court. We are speaking on behalf of ordinary Nigerians,” Bishop Kukah said.

Bishop Kukah made it a point to display the Committee’s stance of indifference towards politics when dealing with issues that concern the well-being of Nigerians.

“We want to see a qualitative and quantitative change in the lives of Nigerians. Nobody knows how Buhari’s presidency will end, nobody knows what will happen to him when he [finishes] his tenure. The stick that they are using to whip Jonathan may be the stick that they will use to whip Buhari tomorrow,” Bishop Kukah said.

We know na..

But just as Buhari said,.. "Mr. Jonathan has nothing to fear"

There is nothing hidden under the Sun we won't see. We knew all this while, but we were just watching the ridiculous mission of the so called peace committee. God don expose una.

Ok

Rev. Kukah again?
Is he swallowing his words back now?
Thought they said earlier they made the visit on their own without prompting from GEJ?
Is Rev.now telling broad day lies like politicians?

Fr. Kukah, inasmuch as i respect you so much as a Catholic priest,i will advise you to stop shielding Jonathan from being probed. If Jonathan has nothing to fear,then he should give himself to be probed.

But badly, their mission failed


Buhari smelt this and he was like "Failed attempt! try again!"

And he would go to Sahara reporters to say that, right. The Nation, Sahara Reporters , bravo, bravo!

Sahara reporters news to me is like news from the gutters

Below is Fr Kukah's reply when he addressed the press

"Anybody is free to come to our committee, but former President Jonathan never, by telephone or another means, talked to the committee.

Which kukah again

Evidence of this interview before I post an appropriate comment.

The righteous should venture into politics but defending the corrupt is the worst form of politics for the likes of Bishop Kukah. A very suicidal one at that.

I hope this will satisfy your curiosity, hinwazaka. When I mean to clear any doubt, I go out of my way to do it to its logical conclusion.

Four years from now, you will know what is true and what is false

hinwazaka:

The best and perfect may never come, but the truth remains that things can never get worse for us in this country and Buhari will outperform Jonathan.
The false and utterly wrong assertion will always be that Jonathan, whom you support, is a saint who stole nothing and therefore, must be shielded from probe. We don't have to wait for four yeras for your likes to be proven wrong.

As long as the pleas fell on deaf ears the their is no shaking! Bring back our money PMB!

Rev Kukah is not telling lies rather it is that Illaje idiot called Sowore and his gang of road sweepers in America that are twisting his words to ridicule Jonathan. They should post the video since they claim it was a tv interview. Kukah is saying what every reasonable nigerian is saying that instead of making noise everyday about probe, instead of making wild allegations against anyone without any evidence to back it up nor take the person to court, the government should carry out investigations quetly and follow due process in prosecuting offenders but what we see is the empty air and character assassination everyday.

How does someone give himself to be probed? Sahara distorters know there are gullible people like you who believe any fairy tale so long as Jonathans name is mentioned. Tell Buhari to carry out his so called probe and stop making noise about it unless it is to continue impressing people like you.

E don happen

This one na open secret na. Well, Jonathan has nothing to fear.... We'll allow Patience bring food for him innn Prison for d first six months before she begins her own sentence. We can even put them in d same cell. As for his Ogogoro addiction, don't worry man. We'll send 10 litres to u every week. What else do u want?

It is well with our nation
