Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah has finally bared his mind on President Bola Tinubu.

He said: “I came to see President Tinubu with the Director of the Kukah Centre.”

“We came to discuss with the President an invitation to have a conference we had earlier extended, which we renewed.”

“We would like him to be in attendance. It is addressing the theme of national cohesion. So, that’s really what we came to discuss.”

“I’m sure many people will tell you that one year is not enough to make a judgment.”

“However, from where we all stand, we know that we are all in a very difficult situation.”

“Nigerians are in various levels of pains, and they are pains that are unintended. But they are the results of certain policy decisions that, hopefully, with time, can be amended in order to serve the welfare of the people.”

“Because I believe that the essence of government is to guarantee the welfare and security of ordinary citizens.”

“I believe that the times that we are in now are very difficult and nobody should be under any illusion. But they are also times for renewal.”

“We just need to commit ourselves to the fact that building a good society takes a lot of time. It’s not something that is done in one lifetime.”

“And for me, the most important thing is to continue on the building blocks of the things that we think are being done well.”

“My argument has always been that the government needs to, very quickly, improve the quality of communication so that Nigerians can at least get a sense of how long is it going to be before food is ready.”
