Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has bared his mind on Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Rev. Father Mathew Kukah.

Atiku in a statement by his spokesman, Paul Ibe said:

“Bishop Kukah is widely misunderstood because he speaks truth to power; a task that often attracts adversaries in our kind of society.”

“They have the obligation to tell leaders the truth when they are going wrong.”

“Not once did I ever hear Kukah preach hate or bigotry in his sermons.”

“All his sermons are focused on issues that can make Nigeria better.”

“I wish him God’s continued blessing in good health and more years of service to humanity as he clocks 70.”
