Those unhappy with me now will sing my praises after 2023 –Kukah

Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, says those unhappy with him due to his non-sentimental pose to governmental issues will sing his praises after the 2023 presidential elections.

The cleric known for his criticisms of the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), stated this on Sunday during a virtual interview with academic and historian, Toyin Falola.

At the interview newsmen, Kukah urged religious leaders not to grovel before politicians and to resist the political class from contaminating their faith.

Kukah also worried that religion has become a hostage to the political forces, adding that faith without reason breeds religious extremism and a situation where people kill in the name of God.
