By FEMI ADESINA Under the camouflage of ‘speaking truth to power,’ it has become a regular thing for the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, to take potshots at President Muhammadu Buhari, and the governing All Progressives Congress (APC). When I saw the media reportage of his Christmas homily for 2022, I observed that it was in two distinct directions.

Bobby Charlton said that football might have been “invented for him”. Certainly, most commentators regard him as the finest exponent of the beautiful game. Pele’s skill and electrifying speed were coupled with a deadly accuracy in front of goal. A national hero in his native Brazil, he became a global sporting icon. And, off the field, he campaigned tirelessly to improve conditions for the most deprived people in society. Young star Edson Arantes do Nascimento was born on 23 October 1940 in Tres Coracoes, a city in south-eastern Brazil. His birth certificate states he was born on 21 October, but…
