Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has disclosed what the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, told him when they met at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Kukah spoke during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

During his Christmas message, Kukah had accused Buhari’s administration of nepotism, saying the president had failed in fulfilling his campaign promises to Nigerians.

Responding, Femi Adesina came hard on the bishop, saying he (Kukah) had failed as a moral authority.

Kukah said, “I always tell people that frankly I don’t worry about criticism because I consider myself as an academic. I never take offense when somebody doesn’t agree with me.

“Femi has got a job to do, he is actually being paid to do the job. I got my own job. But there is nothing personal about it. I read a lot of their criticisms; they don’t bother me because some of them are meant to move away from the things I had said.

“I read his statement; I didn’t think there is any reason for me to respond to what they have to say. And I remember the last time I was in the Villa, Femi said to me rather jokingly ‘Bishop you are always criticizing my government; so you have come today. I told him I was criticizing government before you came and I will criticize government when you are gone.”

SmartPolician:
APC has said a lot of crap about PDP in the past. However, one area I give PDP credit for is that they always work with technocrats. PDP discovered many technocrats whose names we hear today.

As for APC, they only share positions among party faithfuls that's why I strongly believe that Buhari is on a mission to totally destroy this country and has accomplished that mission.

 I told him I was criticizing government before you came and I will criticize government when you are gone.
