A chieftain of the apex Yoruba
social-political group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has attacked President
Muhammadu Buhari for speaking good of the late military dictator, General Sani
Abacha.
Adebanjo said Buhari spoke well
of Abacha because he was his appointee and benefited from the deceased’s
dictatorial regime.
The President had on Tuesday
said, “I don’t care the opinion you have about Abacha, but I agreed to work
with him and we constructed roads from Abuja to Port Harcourt, Benin to Onitsha
and so on.”
But Adebanjo who spoke with
Punch, said the President had lost his credibility and should not be taken
seriously.
He said, “Buhari worked under
Abacha and why are you surprised about his support for Abacha?
“Here is a President who has lost
his credibility and some Nigerians are still taking him seriously.
“I have always spoken about the
anti-democratic ideals of Buhari but his supporters at that time told me that
Buhari had changed to a democrat?
“From the beginning, President
Buhari has always insisted that Abacha did not steal.
“He said these things repeatedly during his
campaigns, but his government has been recovering money looted by Abacha so I
am not surprised with Buhari’s comments.”
