Buhari in closed door parley with Kukah

President Muhammadu Buhari and the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bihsop Matthew Kukah, Thursday met behind closed-doors at the Presidential Villa Abuja.

The meeting which was held at the President’s office lasted for less than 20 minutes.

Emerging from the President’s office, Kukah, dressed in his usual cassock, declined comments saying he had to catch a 12:30 flight

The meeting it was gathered was a one-on-one meeting.

Kukah’s visit may not be unconnected with widely publicized comments, on the President’s style of the fighting corruption as it has to do with former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Kukah, a member of the National Peace Committee for the 2015 General Elections, had after a meeting between members of the peace committee, led by Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar (retd.) and Buhari on August 11, said the President was advised to follow the rule of law in his anti-corruption war.

He had said the President had been reminded that the country was no longer under military rule.
