Femi Adesina blasts Kukah over critical comments on Buhari, asks ‘who listens to that Bishop again?’
Femi Adesina, a former special adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Muhammadu Buhari, has lambasted the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, over his recent comments on his principal.
Recall that Mr Kukah, while speaking at the 60th anniversary of the call to the bar of legal luminary Afe Babalolao on Monday, had claimed that corruption assumed its ugliest phase under the Buhari administration.

Mr Kulah had said: “We have seen the worst phase of corruption in Nigeria. Femi Falana, my friend here, will speak about that because he has published a series of articles talking about what happened under the Buhari administration.
“They were not the ones who caused corruption but I think in the last administration, we saw the ugliest phase of corruption whether in moral terms, financial terms, and other terms.”
Reacting to the comment, Mr Adesina said the clergyman was hurt because Mr Buhari didn’t “patronize” him like he benefited from past leaders.
The former presidential spokesman gave the response in a tweet on Tuesday.
“Who listens to that Bishop again. He’s still pained that he got no under-the-cassock patronage from Buhari, unlike in the past. As e dey pain them, e dey sweet us,” he tweeted.
