Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, Labour Party’s 2023 Vice Presidential Candidate, has revealed the genesis of the unprecedented Insecurity in Nigeria.
The insecurity ravaging Nigeria today, he said, especially, in the North, is a product of the desperation to remove Jonathan from office in 2015.
Baba-Ahmed who said this Tuesday when he spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, also said it was the main reason he parted ways with late President Muhammadu Buhari.
“I contested with the late former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2011. But ever since he made a security threat comment, I refused to go out with him”, he said.
He, also, said that after Buhari made that statement, it didn’t matter to him whether he (Baba-Ahmed) won his own election or not. He simply walked away from Buhari.
To remove Jonathan, according to him, they flooded the country with people from neighbouring countries.
His words: “It didn’t matter if I lost the Senate seat, but I won it eventually. Buhari said you will all be soaked in blood. Kaduna is my State. There was serious violence in Kaduna. Many houses were burnt.
“They went and brought people from neighbouring countries in readiness to remove Jonathan.”
Not a few people agree with Baba-Ahmed, especially, on the desperation to remove Jonathan from office, and the flooding of Nigeria with people from neighbouring countries, most of whom, allegedly, voted in Nigeria’s 2015 Presidential election in which Buhari, surprisingly, defeated a sitting President Jonathan.
