Leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari is
not in Mecca (Makkah), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Recall that President Buhari had
accepted an invitation by the King Salman Bin Abdulaziz, the ruler of Saudi
Arabia and Custodian of the two Holy Mosques to perform the Umrah (lesser
pilgrimage) in the Kingdom.
Last Friday pictures of the
President and his wife Aisha performing Umrah (lesser Hajj) at the Masjid Haram
(the Grand Mosque) in Makkah surfaced online.
The Personal Assistant to Buhari
on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, shared pictures of the President on his Twitter
page with the caption:
However, after the Presidential
aide shared the photos, Kanu took to Twitter handle to post same photos,
alleging that the photos were taken in 2016 during Buhari’s Umrah (lesser Hajj)
not 2019.
The IPOB leader shared the photos
with the caption: “Shameless and fraudulent Fulani cabal with corrupt Yoruba
media have published a falsehood beyond comprehension.
“This same 2016 photos of late
Buhari in Mecca has resurfaced to deceive the gullible in 2019. Despicable!”
Kanu’s claim came days after he
said President Buhari doesn’t deserve to be sworn in for another term as
Nigerian President because he does not have the required academic
qualifications.
“Jubril/Buhari has no basis to
present himself to be sworn in on the 29th. That was why the impostor said
education is no longer important.
“If truly no man is above the law
and the Constitution of the land is supreme. If the constitution is supreme and
is meant to guide the conduct of civilised men within a specifically defined
geo-political area, then let me remind all the sophisticated morons in Nigeria
that their constitution says every contender for the presidency must present a
verifiable school certificate (WAEC) which neither the dead Buhari had nor his
replacement Jubril ever did,” the IPOB leader had said.
Meanwhile, Umrah is an Islamic
pilgrimage to Mecca, Hijaz, Saudi Arabia, performed by Muslims that can be
undertaken at any time of the year, in contrast to the Ḥajj which has specific
dates according to the Islamic lunar calendar.
