The 70th birthday celebration of Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sokoto on Wednesday was graced with the presence of top political leaders.

The occasion was graced by the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; his running mate, Kashim Shettima; Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and others.

The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal who chaired Kukah’s 70th birthday celebration in Abuja, praised the Bishop for his strong belief in the possibility of a new Nigeria.

According to Tambuwal, “Kukah’s criticisms of the nation’s bad governance have been controversial, he (Kukah) believes Nigeria could and would come out of the doldrums of failed political leadership.”

The Governor, represented by a former governor of Imo State and former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, said Kukah’s love for a United Nigeria had remained unsurpassed.

“His (Kukah’s) writings over the years have become controversial and have drawn the ire of powers that be, but what is not in doubt is his undying love for Nigeria and Nigerians, and his belief in the possibility of a new Nigeria where justice and equity reigns”, he said.
