The Buhari Media Organisation, BMO says plot to force President Muhammadu Buhari to resign will fail, blaming an unnamed former head of state for being behind sinister move to end the administration.
The BMO made the statement on the crest of killing of Ahmed Gulak, former Presidential Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan in Imo state on Sunday, amidst calls by many Nigerians to rein in insecurity across the country or resign.
The group did not mention the name of the former head of state, but said he’s a member of group of eminent Nigerians, who pursue the sustainance of democracy in the country. Former head of state, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar is a member of the Eminent Persons, which also includes, Hasan Kukah, Catholic Archbishop of Sokoto Diocese,a others.
Gen. Abubakar’s helicopter was recently arrested for allegedly supplying weapons to terrorists in the northern part of the country.
He has denied any complicity.
But BMO warned the unnamed former president and his co-travellers to quickly perish the thought and save the country from avoidable constitutional crisis and civil unrest.
In a statement signed by its Chairman Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary Cassidy Madueke, the pro-Buhari group lampooned the conspirators for their recourse to unconstitutional means to force the resignation of President Buhari, describing the move as reckless and anti-Nigeria.
“Our highly reliable security sources have informed us of the determination of the former President to go ahead with a plan to cause disaffection in the country through a planned conference of so-called eminent Nigerians.
W”the Conference ostensibly aims to review the state of the nation, we can authoritatively confirm that it is actually a premeditated plan to create confusion in the polity by calling President Buhari to resign after a supposed vote of no confidence.
“Our Security sources said the worries over this latest move by the former leader is not so much about the illegality of the planned declaration but the anarchical mindset behind it, especially given the growing resurgence of military putsch in the West African sub-region. Any appearance of national confusion, even if scripted without any basis, could fuel unreasoned confusion.
“We, therefore, call on Nigerians to be wary of manoeuvres by people who are desperate to erode the foundation of our hard-fought democracy to further the agenda of a desperate, bumptious and self-serving group of elites besotted with power to the point that they are ready to throw the country into a contrived pandemonium to remain relevant,” BMO said
