Northern groups of Nigeria have issued a statement concerning the exploitation the president's health in Kaduna and signed by its President,
Hon Idakwo Jibrin and Secretary
General, Alhaji Adamu Wakil lamented
what it termed the ‘exploitation of President Buhari's health by some
Yoruba leaders'.
The group cited the recent remarks relating to the President's health
attributed to former APC chairman, Chief Bisi Akande and ace lawyer,
Femi Falana, SAN.
The group said what was a personal challenge to the President had been
politicized beyond comprehension by politicians who hide behind the pretext
of agitating for what is in the country's best interest.
The statement reads: "Even more unnerving is situation whereby
people we once held in high esteem as elders, leaders and
professionals decided to descend into the mud, using President
Buhari's health as their new object of obsession.
"They have fanatically tried to impose this obsession of theirs on
other Nigerians in a desperate bid to cause panic and confusion. "
Sadder still is the fact that these mischief makers are people
who pose as President Buhari's All Progressives Congress (APC)
party leaders, associates and friends. With this crow of
desperadoes Mr. President need not worry about the opposition,
the real vipers nest in his courtyard.
"They are the ones, who finding no avenue to corner the
government to themselves, are now working day and night to use
the President's health as campaign tool to hijack the government.
“We want Nigerians to specifically call these people to order.
They cannot be allowed to run riot with their own missions to the
detriment of the rest of us.
The founding Chairman of the APC,
Chief Bisi Akande, who spoke from two opposing directions – he
urged caution about the way President Buhari's health is
discussed yet went on to describe it as a challenge to Nigeria.
This prevarification is unbecoming of an elder statesman of his
stature.
He should apologize to Nigerians and stop making such
unguarded utterances going.
"Akande's role is however that of "the Voice of Jacob and the
Hands of Esau" since it is glaring he spoke for the self appointed
Yoruba Leader, Bola Tinubu, whose protégé is the next in line to
benefit if President Buhari can be shoved aside on head ground.
"In what has confirmed that President Buhari's health is being
exploited as a Yoruba plot against the rest of Nigeria, APC
affiliated lawyer, Chief Femi Falana, is apparently cobbling
together an alliance of lawyers, commercial CSOs and paid
activists to cause crisis."
