Fayose And Others Planning To Kill Buhari- APC Chieftain
Hajiya Najatu Mohammed, a prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) politician
from Kano state and close political associate of President Muhammadu Buhari,
in an interview granted to Newsdiaryonline, has expressed her fears that some
forces are seeking to scuttle the commendable anti-corruption moves of the
president.
Najatu said that even as Buhari was inaugurated as the leader of the nation
there were already worrying indications from those seeking to undermine the
rule of law.
Speaking on the steps President Buhari has taken so far, the APC chieftain
said:
“My take is that he is being strategic. Those who are advocating that he
should be fast about the way
he is doing things, that he should take the fast track just know what is
happening.
“They know that if he continues (with) investigations in the various
ministries, theirs is finished. They have interest in this corruption and a
lot of them are beneficiaries of corruption.
“It took Obasanjo over two months to (announce) his ministers. I don’t know
what the big deal is. And the one that went very fast, President Jonathan,
where did he land the country? He was so fast in appointment. He was so fast
in dismissal. So we don’t want President Buhari to be fast, let him take his
time. With or without ministers, he is working and we have found sanity in our
country. The tension is gone. Our foreign reserve is rising. So what else do
we need? There is a lot of peace in the country. We are all sane now. People
are no longer tensed (up).We have less fear about being bombed, being
assassinated, being kidnapped, we have less fear of that.”
However, she further stated that there is tension in the camp of corrupt
people.
Najatu said: “It’s the same kind of trend. But what they don’t know is that
they don’t know how far Nigerians have gone. And I want to zero it and attach
it to what (Governor Ayodele) Fayose has said on several occasions. He has
come out to say, I mean the current governor of Ekiti; he has come out to say
on quite a few occasions that if you vote Buhari, he is going to die anyway!
He is going to die like Abacha died in office, like Murtala died in office,
like (Umaru)Yar’Adua died in office. Now look at these three people, they are
all northerners and they were all assassinated. So if you link it up with this
move that has happened before,we are saying no to it.”
“There are very, very strong reasons to believe that they just finished him up
and he didn’t die in office. He had a terminal illness; there is no doubt
about that. But quite a few people know including his doctors that that they
expedited his death through poisoning. So if that is it, in fact, why should
Fayose include Yar Adua, if they know truly and honestly that he just died of
natural causes. Because they were all assassinated. Murtala was assassinate,
Abacha was assassinated.”
The politician expressed fears that Buhari will be killed: “My fear is that
having heard what Fayose said, having seen the trend that this so-called peace
committee is taking, trying to propagate against the government of Muhammadu
Buhari. I fear that they might try to assassinate him and give excuses,
because already the cat has been out of the sack from what Fayose has said.
And looking at history and the trend, the cat is out of the sack. So let me
tell them and we are telling them in no uncertain terms that is no longer
acceptable. No one will ever hold Nigeria to ransom again. We’ll hold them
responsible.”
She also claimed that when Diezani was being investigated by the National
Assembly under Tambuwal, Sultan Saad Abubakar of Sokoto called Tambuwal and
warned him against investigating Diezani.
“There is no reason for her to go to the Sultan in the first place. She has no
business going to kneel before the Sultan. And then Oritsejafor has over and
over again accused Muslims of killing Christians. Was he helping the peace?
And when Muslims were being massacre, he never uttered a word. So what he was
doing was to divide and to rule. So who cares about Oritsejafor and whose
interest was he protecting. His personal interest and the interest of the
president who had given him so much. That was President Jonathan. And then who
is next. Who are those in the Committee,” Najatu said.
