Matthew Kukah, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, on Thursday held a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa.
The items discussed at the meeting, which lasted about 30 minutes, remains unknown to the press, as the cleric hurried out of the villa after the meeting without answering questions from state house correspondents.
Kukah, a member of the National Peace Committee, has been under public scrutiny, for asking Buhari to concentrate more on governance than probes.
“History will not forget what President Jonathan did and it is not in our interest to pretend that even if he stole all the money in the world, and even if the world is bringing everything into Nigeria, you will not b sitting in that studio, I am not sure where I will be, I am not sure where general Buhari will be…” he had said.

Kukah responded to the criticism that followed, by saying the public’s notion of his aversion to probing Jonathan was “mistaken”.
“What have I got to gain by shielding Jonathan, now that he is not in power? President Buhari’s concern should be with the choir of hypocrites and cheer leaders who are clamouring around him now.”

Nigeria needs more Kukahs, and more of such quiet visitations to PMB, promoting national interest.
Yes indeed so many choirs of hypocrites that led Jonathan astray. Sorry we are tired of corrupt, materialistic and self acclaimed public intelligentsia.
