A former ally of President Buhari and former Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Buba Galadima, has revealed that the president is not in charge of the state of affairs in the country, Igbere Tv reports.
He made this known while speaking on a TV programme. He based his accusation on a recent statement made by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo that the president was unaware of the arraignment of Justice Walter Onnoghen, the Chief Justice of Nigeria for defaulting in the declaration of his assets before the Code of Conduct Bureau.
“The president doesn’t know what happens around him and this is coming from the Vice President when he told us that the president doesn’t even know (Onnoghen’s prosecution). Arraigning a Chief Justice of the Federation, the president doesn’t know. Some people might be playing on his intelligence.
“So what I’m saying is that now a confirmation has come to us from no other person than the Vice President of the federal Republic of Nigeria that the president didn’t even know that this was happening. And those of us who have been in government know that nobody, from a minister, to a governor, to a former Head of State or their spouses can be arraigned in court or can be taken to (the) EFCC or ICPC without the approval of Mr. President.
In the video, Galadima also said; “So it means that the President even signed the arraignment of the Chief Justice and he didn’t know, Nigerians you are in trouble. And this is the kind of person that is presenting himself for you to elect as the President of Nigeria.”
