One of Nigeria’s former presidential aspirant has alleged that some cabal in Aso Rock are
doing everything to kick out the Vice President ahead of 2019 general elections.
While speaking during an exclusive interview with Daily Sun, a former presidential aspirant, Princess Hadiza Ibrahim, revealed that some cabal were doing everything to kick Vice President, Prof.
Yemi Osinbajo out of office ahead of 2019 general elections.
Hadiza in the chat, appealed to the Acting President not to resign under any circumstance so that he would not betray the confidence Nigerians reposed in his joint mandate with President Muhammdu Buhari.
She said; “In fairness, I also believe in Osinbajo. For the little time that Buhari was away on medical vacation recently, Osinbajo
tried his best for this country. The value of naira appreciated. I am sure with time again, the value of naira will be on a higher
side and dollar will be on a lower side.”
She said Nigerians should note that the mandate they gave to Buhari, “is not just for Buhari; it is a joint mandate for Buhari and
Osinbajo.
“Vividly, by the analysis probably done by me, if Buhari and somebody else and not
Osinbajo had contested the presidential election in 2015, Buhari might not have
come to power. I believe Osinbajo is a God sent man. He is a pastor and I see him as a prophet too because is so simple.
“I am sure God wants to use Osinbajo to rectify this country. So, I believe in Buhari/Osinbajo joint mandate. I want to give Osinbajo this advice that under no circumstance because of our vote and the trust we put in the his joint ticket with Buhari, he should not resign. The votes that
brought them to power were for Buhari and Osinbajo. He should not disappoint us.
“I cast my vote because it is Buhari/Osinbajo. The vote is a debt on them. So, they should have the fear of God. So, Osinbajo should not resign, no matter what.
The cabal should have the fear of God.
“Osinbajo should not be afraid of any threat from anywhere. Nobody is above God. Since
he is a man of God, he should stand by God. He should not be forced to resign and he
should not resign on his own. He should continue to hold the mandate for President Buhari. When the Buhari gets well, he should handover to him. But in the absence of Buhari, he should not be forced to resign.”
Asked about the likelihood that the perceived cabal might want to use the National Assembly to impeach Osinbajo, Hadiza said, “Why would the National
Assembly impeach Osinbajo? For what offence? I Hadiza Ibrahim will not agree to that. I am crying out now. The change we asked for is reality. It is change for progress,
and a change to move the country forward.
It is not a change for different things.
“I believe in Buhari and Osinbajo joint mandate. I am crying now because I don’t understand where things are going to in
Nigeria now. The cabal may ask him to resign, let me use this medium to tell him, he
should not.
“Osinbajo has a mandate because we voted for Buhari and him. The mandate will last till
May 29, 2019. So, he should not be coerced to resign so that he would not betray the
confidence we have in him.”
