How Buhari led APC leaders to beg Obama, US for support in 2015 – Pastor Giwa makes revelation
By Wale Odunsi
A
senior Pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ Gospel
Church, Pastor Adewale Giwa, has said that the present government under
President Muhammadu Buhari cannot stop the United States and other
foreign countries from interfering in Nigerian politics.Giwa said this in reaction to statements by the present government, warning the US to steer clear of Nigerian elections.
US
ambassador, Stuart Syminton had vowed that his country would deal with
politicians who indulge in hate speech ahead of the Saturday’s
presidential election.Syminton’s warning came a day after
Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State threatened that foreign persons who
interfere in the elections would leave Nigeria in body bags, a statement
that was also defended by the Presidency.United States has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to ensure free, fair and transparent elections.
A
statement by Pastor Giwa made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday,
recalled how Buhari and his team traveled to the US to beg former
President, Barack Obama for support in 2015.He said: “I was at the White House as Daily Newswatch US Bureau Chief in 2015 when Buhari’s delegation came to beg Obama.
“People
hate the truth because it hurts. In 2015, It was glaring that President
Obama played a very prominent role in ensuring Buhari become the
president of Nigeria.“Where were all these people criticising
the United States now under Donald Trump when Obama released a video,
urging former President Goodluck Jonathan to play the game according to
the rules?“Where were Buhari’s men lambasting the United States
under Trump now when former President Obama called Jonathan to accept
the defeat after announcing the 2015 presidential results ?“To
me, I see nothing wrong in what the United States has said by appealing
to the presidency to play the game according to the rules.
