The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has been referred to by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retired), as a fierce fighter.
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria leaders, including Kukah, visited the President on Wednesday at the State House in Abuja.
The visit occurred shortly after Kukah bemoaned Buhari’s failure to keep the promises he made to Nigerians in 2015 in his 2022 Christmas address presented at the St. Mary Catholic Church in Sokoto.
He claimed that while Nigerians were suffering as a result of his broken promises, the President was leaving office in good health.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a response to the message, said Kukah only saw things through the prism of a political priest, with propensity for the opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party.
On Kukah’s visit with the Catholic bishops to the State House, Adesina, in a post on his Facebook page, said Buhari displayed no form of malice to the cleric.
He said, “When the bishop came into the council chamber, the venue of the visit, he pulled me, and started laughing, asking whether we should be fighting or greeting each other. We laughed heartily.
“During group photographs, the President, never holding malice against anyone, shook hands with the bishop, describing him as ‘most vigorous fighter.’
“After it all, the bishop invited me for a personal picture with him.
“Bishop Kukah was cooking peace this time, and how refreshing it was.”
