The apex Igbo Socio-cultural
group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned remarks credited to President Muhammadu
Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu admitting that there are cabals in the
Presidency.
Ohanaeze said such claims from
the Presidency was enough to impeach the President.
Shehu had maintained that the
cabal in the Presidency are respectable Nigerians who have achieved a lot.
He had revealed this while
dismissing claims that Buhari was being manipulated by a group of individuals
who have formed a cabal.
However, Publicity Secretary,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chief Uche Achi-Ogbaga in a chat with Vanguard described
Shehu’s comment as unfortunate.
He said: “You see, when you do
the right thing in a wrong way, it becomes wrong. The issue is not about being
hungry or well-fed. It is about the integrity of the government, it is about
conventionality, law and civility. The taxpayers’ money is used to pay the
retinue of ministers, presidential advisers, assistants and other aides.
“They are the official government
decision policy or decision-makers. Yet, you abandon them to depend or take
instructions from an underhand body called the cabal. It is unfortunate that
Garba Shehu, whose utterances are presumed as that of the President, could say
that blatantly.
“From the American experience, it
is enough to impeach the President if it is established, as in the present
case, that it came from the presidency.
“It is absurd to jettison the
Federal Executive Council and other lawful bodies to take orders from an ethnic
and prejudice-infested cabal. It smells to high heaven.”
