Nigeria's Former President Ibrahim Babangida long term
confidant Professor Ukandi G. Damachi had allegedlly told the United
states council that former president Yar'Adua was poisoned by Ex
President Obasanjo's Kitchen staff. According to Wiki leaks Professor Ukandi G. Damachi who is a friend
to the US consul, He told them in secrecy about the alleged poisoning.
Professor Ukandi G. Damachi is a friend to US consul, long term
confidant to Nigeria’s past president Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida with
privy to Nigeria’s government workings inside information.
The Wikileaks cable, reference ID 08LAGOS153, described in Professor
Damachi’s narration, that late president Yar’Adua was given poison in
his food, “his food was poisoned”, he alleged. Further stating that the
president inherited his predecessor, president Obasanjo’s kitchen, and
these kitchen staff were likely used to poison Nigeria’s president. The
professor further revealed that when president Yar’Adua realized this he
fired the Obasanjo kitchen staff.
He Said: “There are lots of problems in Nigeria.” The first problem,
he said, is the President’s illness; “his food was poisoned”, Damachi
alleged. Asked whether he meant “food poisoning” or that someone had
deliberately poisoned the President’s food, Damachi shrugged, replying
“The President inherited Obasanjo’s kitchen staff”; Yar’Adua has now
fired them all, and the kitchen has been cleaned out following the
incident, Damachi said.At the same time, Damachi went on, the President
did attend functions on both the Saturday and Sunday preceding his
illness and ate some food at both of them. “What President eats at a
function?”, Damachi asked rhetorically. The President was so sick that
the day he signed the budget, he was unable to sign a second piece of
legislation awaiting his approval…”
Late Yar’Adua Yar’Adua was known to have stepped hard on his
predecessors toes. Upon entering office president Yar’Adua, described by
his wife as a very honest man who left no wealth behind; seriously went
after the reversal of Nigeria’s public assets that his predecessor had
sold to his allies, Aliku Dangote and Femi Otedola.
“In the weeks leading up to Obasanjo’s departure, Dangote’s privately
held company has also scooped up a cement plant, a telecoms licence and
mining concessions in a rush of privatisations that has triggered
accusations of cronyism by opposition parties.”
By July of 2007, barely 2 months into office, Yar’Adua had held
meetings with Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE), to querry the sale of
Nigeria’s refineries to Obasanjo’s henchmen, Aliku Dangote and tycoon
Otedola. BPE reportedly justified the sale to Bluestar, saying it was
transparent, but the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
faulted it, and maintained that the corporation was capable of running
them efficiently.
President Yar’Adua “after considering the facts presented to him, the
President directed that the sale should be revoked as the exercise was
not transparent enough. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) praised
President Yar’Adua for the revocation of the privatization of the
refineries.” Dangote And former president Obasanjo Dangote And former
president Obasanjo President Yar’Adua, determined to recover Nigeria’s
infrastructure and assets coveted by Obasanjo and his cronies, moved on
to other government assets.
Yar’Adua also suffered from chronic allergic disorder and this was easily attributed to be the direct cause of his death.
The possibility of the poisoning to death of a Nigerian serving head
of State will amount to a grievous crime. The exhumation of late
President Yar’Adua’s body may be necessitated as well as a thorough
investigation of ll who may have been involved in the murder of a
president in office.
Late Palestinian premier, Yasser Arafat was recently exhumed due to
evidence of polonium poisoning as an investigation into alleged Israeli
intelligence poisoning was reopened.
