Former presidential aide, Reno
Omokri, has lambasted former Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed
Bello Adoke, for “trying to give credit for former President Goodluck
Jonathan’s unprecedented concession to erstwhile Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu”.
He condemned Adoke for saying
Jonathan conceded to President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of Muazu’s threat to do
so.
Omokri, in a statement on Thursday,
said: “First of all, Alhaji Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu could not have threatened to
concede to General Buhari because of the “endless wait and anxiety in the
country before Mr Jonathan was prevailed on to place a call that ended the
tense situation”, for the simple fact that there was no “endless wait and
anxiety in the country”.
“This is an infantile attempt to
revise history by Mr. Adoke so he can get a soft landing from the Buhari
administration.
“The 2015 Nigerian Presidential
election held on March 28, 2015. The results of the election were announced by
the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor
Attahiru Jega, on April 1, 2015. Former President Goodluck Jonathan called
General Muhammadu Buhari at exactly 4:45 PM on March 31, 2019, a day before the
INEC declared the results.
“Going by the above historical
facts, it becomes clear that anyone who threatened to concede because of the
“endless wait and anxiety in the country” is a liar, because Dr. Jonathan
conceded while the votes were STILL BEING COUNTED.
“A whole day before INEC declared
General Buhari the winner. As a matter of fact, in at least two different
interviews, Muhammadu Buhari testified that he was “surprised” when Dr.
Jonathan called to concede.
“On the second issue, where Mr.
Adobe sought to promote himself as one of those who convinced Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan to concede, again, the facts speak for themselves.
“Mr. Adoke, DID NOT know when Dr.
Jonathan conceded. Yes, he was in the room, along with Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo
Iweala, Osita Chidoka, and Dudafa Waripamowei, amongst others. Several people
were proffering different counsel, when to their shock, Dr. Jonathan announced
that he had placed the call.
“Permit me to add that there are
CCTV cameras in the Presidential Villa.
“Finally, I counsel Mr. Adoke to
be courageous and face his challenges without fear. There is no need to revise
history in order to secure a soft landing.”
