Foursquare Church should send Pastor Femi Adesina to Daura in order to stay close to his godfather, Buhari – Bishop Kukah jabs

Nigerian Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Kukah, has tackled former presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina who is a known pastor at the Foursquare Gospel Church to relocate close to his "godfather", Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, his church has a branch in Daura, Kastina state where his former boss, former President Buhari currently resides.

He said this while sharing his thoughts on the remarks given on Buhari's performance during his administration.

Speaking during an interview on Wednesday, November 8, on Arise Television, Bishop Kukah said he holds no personal grudges with the former president but his inability to manage the country’s diversity.

“Buhari has served his term. He also knew and I respect him for that, that there was nothing I was saying that was personal. I imagined poor Adesina and his team had a job to do and they needed to do that job even though there was nothing to say.

“I will respect and I hope that Pastor Adesina knows that there is a Foursquare Gospel Church in Daura, I believe that the President of Foursquare Gospel Church should send him there as a Pastor so that he is quite close to his godfather.

“But having said that, I mean President Buhari had finished his term and he is gone and there is very little else to be said for and against. But everybody knew we had a job to do. There was nothing I said about President Buhari that was personal, that was disrespectful, I just felt he was doing thing that is, especially in the area of managing our diversity and look, I’m talking to Ministers now who served in that government, I cannot call names, I am shocked to hear the kind of things people are saying, those who served in that government, that is for another day.”

Sharing his thoughts on President Bola Tinubu's six months in office, Kukah said;

“I am not making excuse for anybody, I am just saying the very fact that you had to rely on governors to give you names of Ministers and you rely on external agencies to be able to do things that ordinarily you who is composing the team needs to be able to do.”

“I mean a court decides who is going to come in at what time depending on the excuse that the person has. So, I totally agree with you that by now you would have thought, ‘okay, this is what we want to do, this is who can do it and this is how it needs to be done.”
