Posted by At the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari displayed his sense of humor by engaging Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah in amusing banter that had the latter giggling hysterically.
Despite his initial support for the Buhari administration, which helped the All Progressive Congress win the 2015 election, Bishop Kukah is famous for being a critic of the Buhari administration.
The Catholic Diocese of Sokoto’s ruling clergy had previously criticized Buhari’s leadership style, particularly with regard to security-related matters.
Before the two men got a chance to laugh together, President Buhari stated that Nigeria’s capacity to obtain loans for development was only made possible because lenders have faith in Nigeria’s ability to repay.
Kukah was a member of the group that visited the President on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with the Executive members of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, CBCN.
