A Former governor of Kaduna
State, and elder statesman, Balarabe Musa, has revealed why President Muhammadu
Buhari gave a posthumous award to Chief M.K.O Abiola and recognized June 12 as
Democracy Day.
Musa said the move was to promote
the presidential candidacy of Ambassador Babagana Kingibe.
The former Governor who spoke to
reporters also claimed that the plot started in 2017 when there were fears that
President Muhammadu Buhari ’s health challenge will impede his second term bid.
Balarabe said that the game-plan
was still on, adding that the plot was being hatched
by the cabal in the presidency but he did not mention names.
The former governor did not say
whether the plan is for Kingibe to succeed Buhari in 2019 or 2023.
According to him, “The plan is to
use this recognition of June 12 and award as a means of promoting Kingibe.
“This plan of promoting Kingibe
for the presidency of Nigeria started sometime ago, when there was the feeling
that Buhari couldn’t make it due to his health challenge, for the 2019
presidential election.
“And there was a conspiracy to
search forsomeone who can be used to placate the north and in particular, the
north east.
“And from my experience of how
these things are being arranged in the history of Nigeria, remember we have
been relevant in the politics of Nigeria since 1950.
“My calculation is that the
game-plan is still on.
And you know that Kingibe is in a
central position in the presidency and APC.
“I just don’t want to us to drag
Nigeria from one bad choice to another. In 2015, we said ’anyone but PDP and
Jonathan. We got APC and Buhari.
“And now, some people are saying
anybody but APC and Buhari and they want to bring in Kingibe.”
