Former Vice President of Nigeria and
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar, has replied the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
government of the All Progressives Congress, APC, party, saying
President Buhari is unaware of the allegations brought against the Chief
Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, because cabals are the ones
running his government.
Atiku also said that President Buhari is
not aware of anything about his government, including how the “2016
budget was stolen.”
Abubakar said this while responding to a
statement credited to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, wherein he
absolved his principal, Buhari of any prior knowledge of the allegations
and planned trial of the CJN until last Saturday.
According to
Osinbajo, “I must tell you in clear terms that President Muhammadu
Buhari, his whole approach is that institutions should just do their
work, I can tell you for a fact that he did not even know about this
until Saturday evening.
“He did not even know that there was
going to be any kind of trial until Saturday evening, he has said
categorically don’t interfere with whatever institutions are doing,
sometimes it has consequences such as we have today, such that people
say how can such an important person be subjected to trial without the
Federal Government but I can tell you without any equivocation that he
is not aware”.
But Atiku, in a statement through his Special
Assistant on Public Communication, Mr. Phrank Shaibu , said by virtue of
President Buhari not being aware of the development involving the CJN
proves that he is incompetent to lead the country.
Atiku also
said that President Buhari does not deserve a second term in office
because he is not in control of hisgovernment. Atiku urged Nigerians to
vote for him because, according to him, he remains the only credible and
candidate with clear cut plans on how to move the country to greater
growth.
The statement further reads thus: “This president has
exhibited gross incompetence, ignorance, poverty of ideas and lack of
innovation.
“This president doesn’t know anything. They may have
mentioned the plot to him but he does not remember anything! “He didn’t
know who stole the budget in 2016. He never knew his Chief of Staff was
on the board of the NNPC.
“President Buhari never knew dead
people were on the list of board appointments he signed. “He never knew
Abdulrasheed Maina of the pension scam incident was reinstated into the
civil service.
“Mr. President was not aware that soldiers
stormed the premises of Daily Trust newspapers. “What does this
president know? In fact, I am so sure President Buhari is not aware he
is contesting the February 16 election!”
“The truth is that
President Buhari never even intended to act as president for one day and
this is one presidency that would be neither here nor there, everywhere
and nowhere, visible yet ineffectual, present yet absentee in nature
and action; all of which have lent further weight to the complaints of
his wife that other people and not her husband are, indeed, in charge of
Nigeria.”
“A government which has been defined in the AtikuPlan
to get Nigeria working again, will ensure that the interest, welfare,
wellbeing and goodwill of all Nigerians will be at the centre of every
action and decision of the leadership and not the interest and
selfishness of two persons who have hijacked Nigeria for themselves at
the expense and suffering of the rest of the people.
“The only
politician now who has the capacity, capability, intelligence and
experience to break this wicked hold of a few people on Nigeria is
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the formidable pan-Nigerian coalition of
seasoned and tested leaders, who are now poised to liberate Nigeria from
the cabal and open up the country to growth and development which two
people have prevented President Buhari from achieving in his four years
as Nigeria’s President, according to his wife,” Shuaibu added.
