Bishop Kukah Reveals Why He Can Take A Bullet For Ex-Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan

Bishop Hassan Kukah, who is the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, yesterday revealed why he can take a bullet for former President Goodluck Jonathan. He made this disclosure while addressing the audience at the 2022 Peace Conference organized and hosted by the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation. 

The respected cleric spoke kindly of the former President’s outstanding qualities, especially about his humble nature while he was the president of Nigeria. He said,

“Let me tell you one simple thing that made me say I can take any bullet for this simple gentleman. On the eve of this election, this is something that I think millions of Nigerians will never know. I was at the center of the negotiations to get General Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan. We fixed a meeting in the villa.

Fortunately, the day of that meeting coincided with the birthday of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and General Buhari was not available. It was not until 11:30 at night when we started making phone calls and finally I got a text message from General AbdulSalam saying if you don’t hear from me by 11:30, don’t call me again. 

And the President was going to leave for Delta. We were all scratching our heads. We didn’t know what to do. The challenge then was how we were going to persuade President Jonathan to cancel his trip now that General Buhari was available. I remember calling Doctor Reunen Abati.

Can you beg him to cancel his trip to Delta? The result was the final signing of the peace accord.

Bishop Kukah went on to say that it is an illusion to have a peaceful election in Nigeria because there is no human activity that could be described as peaceful. He also stated that becoming president is nearly impossible for him and other Christians because they are from the minority core North.
