I've never collected ONE DOLLAR from Jonathan — Bishop Kukah

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has dismissed insinuations that he was
close to former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for what he could get off him.

Bishop Matthew Kukah, who spoke in an interview in the current edition of The Interview, said: “Despite my
friendship with former president 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.’’

He said those who thought they could smear him by warming up to President Muhammadu Buhari were responsible for fantasizing his
relationship with Jonathan.

He said: “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.

“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 thebmiddle of the race. Those are the guys who you
should be talking about and not me.”
