The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, is still pained that former President Muhammadu Buhari did not patronise him throughout his eight-year tenure.
Buhari’s former spokesperson Femi Adesina, disclosed this on Tuesday in response to Kukah’s criticism who said corruption was highest during Buhari’s administration.
“Who listens to that Bishop again? He’s still pained that he got no under-the-cassock patronage from Buhari, unlike in the past. As e dey pain them, e dey sweet us,” Adesina tweeted on Tuesday.
Kukah spoke while delivering a keynote address at the 60th call-to-bar anniversary of legal luminary, Aare Afe Babalola, in Ado Ekiti, the capital of Ekiti State.
While stating that corruption had been there before the Buhari government, Kukah noted his administration amplified it in the eight years he was President.
Kukah said, “We have seen the worst phase of corruption in Nigeria, Femi Falana, my friend here, will speak about that because he has published a series of articles talking about what happened under the Buhari administration.
“They were not the ones who caused corruption but I think in the last administration, we saw the ugliest phase of corruption whether in moral terms, financial terms and other terms.”
According to Adesina, “Who listens to that Bishop again. He’s still pained that he got no under-the-cassock patronage from Buhari, unlike in the past. As e dey pain them, e dey sweet us.”
