A founding father of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Ali Ibrahim Ningi has revealed that the cabal in
the presidency were solidly against the re-election bid of President Muhammadu
Buhari.
This was as he called for an immediate investigation into circumstances that led to the National Assembly siege where security operatives were mobilised to barricade all entry points into the complex Tuesday morning.
The APC chieftain, in an interview
with dailypost on Wednesday, described the invasion as an illegality and
condemned same in its totality, stressing that it was an ambush to Nigerians’
right to vote.
He said, “As a founding father of
the APC, I have time without number cautioned President Buhari to warn the
presidential cabals for their excesses especially his Chief of Staff, sack DG
DSS among others. However, Tuesday’s tragedy seems to finally exposed them and
have revealed that Buhari is not in firm control of the government.”
Ningi added that the siege to
National Assembly was an attempt to impeach Saraki, stressing that it was
undemocratic as the bi-camera legislature had gone on recess.
According to him, “it’s wrong and
a coup for DSS and police to take over the National Assembly building on the
alleged directives of presidential cabals in their desperation.
“I am convinced that the
immediate sacking of DG DSS, Lawal Daura by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo is
timely to save the nation from sliding to political crisis”.
The APC chieftain further tackled
Buhari over his recent visit to Bauchi State ahead of the senatorial
bye-election, asserting that the President’s visit clearly indicates that the
incumbent governor was not in control of the state chapter of the party, and is
handicapped to defend the ruling party during an election within his state.
“I am sure Gov. Abubakar’s
weakness in control of the party ahead of the bye-election and even 2019
elections is not unconnected with irregularities in the party’s congresses when
he was said to have hijacked the process by smuggling in his errand boys,”
Ningi said.
