The Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has said that he will not stop criticizing President Muhammadu Buhari even after visiting the latter at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday.
Kukah said this while fielding questions as a guest on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

Kukah said he had nothing personal against President Buhari or any other.
He noted that when he met Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who earlier slammed the cleric 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.”
