Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Mathew Hassan Kukah, has denied ever collecting money from former President Goodluck Jonathan.
In an interview in the current edition of The Interview, Kukah said his closeness to Jonathan had nothing to do with what he could get.
“Despite my friendship with Jonathan over this long period of time, we never discussed a penny, we never discussed one dollar; we never exchanged a penny, and we never exchanged a dollar,” Kukah said.
The cleric also accused journalists of selfish interests in their reportage about his relationship with Jonathan.
“Suddenly, journalists whom I knew were writing, hoping they would be given positions (by Buhari) and all those who were abusing me have gone full cycle,” he said.
He continued: “Those who should be ashamed of themselves are those who took money from Jonathan, tons of it, and have decided to lie, buried under the table; they have decided to change course in the middle of the race. Those are the guys who you should be talking about.”
