Atiku Abubakar, former Vice
President has expressed worry over ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s claim
against the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.
Obasanjo on Friday claimed that
Buhari’s government was planning to frame him and consequently kill him.
The former President, in a
statement by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, said the Buhari-led administration
intends to use fake documents and witnesses against him.
He alleged that he has been
informed that his name has been included in the government’s “watch-list”, and
that the security of his life can no longer be guaranteed.
Reacting to the allegation,
Abubakar, who was Vice President in the Obasanjo administration, said such
claim calls for serious concern.
In a statement issued by his
media office in Abuja, the Waziri of Adamawa appealed to President Buhari to
call the security agencies to order in order to douse the tension in the land.
He said, “I am disturbed by this
turn of events in our dear country considering the huge price that was paid for
us to have democracy.
“I wish to advice that government
and its agents should retrace their steps to avoid aggravating the already over
heated polity.
“The alert by President Obasanjo
is coming against the backdrop of earlier alerts by some leaders, especially
those of the opposition of deliberate and orchestrated attempt to intimidate
and frame them up.
“I wish to state without
equivocation that President Obasanjo is a historical figure in Nigeria’s
democracy and that the primary purpose of government is to provide security of
lives and property of all citizens and residents irrespective of their status,
political affiliation, religious inclination and ethnic leanings.
“Our nation has lost so much precious lives
and property that we can no longer afford to travel that road again.”
