Buhari Cannot Talk, We Are Becoming Confused – Presidency Makes Shocking Confession
The Presidency, on Sunday night, was thrown into deep confusion, as it revealed the inability of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is on an indefinite vacation in London, to speak to Nigerians to douse the controversies over his health status.
This came over the report making rounds that members of Buhari’s cabal, have constituted themselves as a clog in the wheel of progress against Acting President, Yemi Osibanjo.
Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, who disclosed this in Abuja, on the sidelines of an interactive session with Nigerian youths, organised by the Citizens Support for Good Governance in Nigeria, stated that they are confused if the President would be able to talk to Nigerians.
Asked why the President’s handlers have not deemed it fit to get him to talk directly to Nigerians through Nigeria’s media platforms, Shehu who was thrown into deep confusion, said the suggestion would be forwarded to the President, to see if he would agree to it.
“Okay, if you are making a suggestion, we will put it to him, in case he would agree. We will put it to him”, he said.
He also said, it was not true that some close appointees of Buhari, had constituted themselves into a cabal, with the aim of whittling down the influence of Osinbajo.
On the issue of a cabal in Presidency, Garba said: “This country has one government. When Nigerians voted, they voted for Buhari/Osinbajo on one ticket. Nobody can divide that ticket, so if Prof. Osinbajo achieves a milestone, it is a milestone by the Buhari administration. It is one government, no division in this government.”
He also added, that Nigerians have to be grateful to the President, whose emergence he said, halted the menacing advance of the Boko Haram terrorists, who by now according to him, might have overran the Presidential Villa, in Aso Rock.
“He (Buhari) wants a future that is secure and stable for young generations that are coming, that is yourselves. This is why in his messages, he has stayed on three key issues; he has repeated this over and over again.
“He says this country cannot make any progress without security. And look at all the efforts that has been put in rolling back Boko Haram. There are many people who believe that if not for President Buhari, if the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had continued in this country in 2015, Boko Haram would have taken over Aso Rock by now”, he said.
