IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu
By CHUKWUJEKWU ILOZUE, Awka
There are some things Nigerians have not been told about the shooting incident involving wife of President Muhammadu Buhari and a Presidential aide, critics of the present administration have said.
For the leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, the shooting signaled discomfort of the President’s wife in the ways things are going in the country.
In a statement released to the media, Kanu said among other things that “That Truth is that Aisha
Buhari is going mad amidst Gun Battle in Aso Rock, the carnage in Buhari’s Daura, the slaughter in Buhari’s Katsina/North.”
Kanu added that “It’s now clear that there’s no President Buhari but a Cabal that cannot even control itself”.
Refering to the statement issued by presidential spokesman Garba Shuhu on the incident, Kanu said rather than “faffing about and peddling a false narrative, it ought to be stated forcefully that Aso Rock is empty with no president, no vice and no army chief. Nigeria is dead and no amount of spin doctoring of the news will hide this fact.
In concluding, Kanu, a well known critic of the President predicted that “Another Rwanda is loading”and warned that “we must act now!”
In his own reaction, another well known critic Femi Fani-Kayode wondered what would have necessitated gunshots in the Villa over domestic issues, and between the President’s wife and Personal Assistant and “No-one can call either to order.”
Femi Kani-Fayode wondered whether “the President has lost control of his home, his wife, his family, his staff, his official residence, his Government, his country, his memory and possibly his mental faculties”, for all these to be happening.
Lamenting that no one appeared to be in charge of the country, Femi Kani-Fayode wondered where the country is headed to.
“Who has bewitched Nigeria? Who did this to us? Who is running our country? Who is really in charge? Where are we heading? A nation of 200 million people and this is the best we can do?”
“Is Nigeria a jungle or a zoo? Have we been cursed? Have we lost all sense of decency and discipline?”
A First Lady and a Personal Assistant indulging in a rofo-rofo fight in the seat of power and shooting at one another when the President is supposedly still alive? Or is there something that we don’t know? It’s a crying shame! May God help us!, he concluded. (Daily Independent)
