Adamawa APC Leaders Pray Death on Buhari
Leaked audio has exposed some leaders of the All Progressive Congress, APC, making discriminatory comments against President Muhammadu Buhari in Adamawa state.
The audio leaked by Daily Nigerian saw the APC leaders wishing for the president’s death, to enable his vice, Prof Yemi Osibanjo takes over the mantle of leadership.
The comments were recorded during a meeting of high profile stakeholders of the party, including the immediate past Governor of Adamawa State, Muhammadu Bindow and the immediate past Speaker of Adamawa State house of assembly, who is the incumbent member representing Yola south constituency in the state house of assembly, Kabiru Mijinyawa.
The APC caretaker chairman in Yola South local government of Adamawa State, Sulaiman Adamu, particularly took a swipe at President Buhari, saying if wishes were horses, he would have wished coronavirus kill the president.
Mr Adamu stated he would pick Yemi Osibanjo over President Buhari if he was asked to make a choice.
“I don’t know why coronavirus did not kill Buhari. If the president is placed side by side with Osinbajo I will pick Osinbajo and leave Buhari,” the chairman was heard lamenting in Fulfulde.
Adamu’s comments were supported by Abubakar Sirimbai, who said it is better for the “accursed president” to die for Mr Osinbajo to take over the reins of power.

“It is better for the accursed president to die so that his deputy can assume the reins of power. We sold our properties to help the president win the election. We bought underwear, braziers, and cosmetic which we used to give him makeup. If I’m averse to Osinbajo becoming the president, may God not give me the privilege of living till evening.
“Buhari has achieved nothing in Adamawa in the last six years. APC in Adamawa thrives on the legacies of Bindow. We heard that Buhari used to be extremely happy whenever he learnt someone has gone bankrupt. We can’t be worshipping him like others,” Mr Sirimbai said.
Former speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Mr Mijinyawa in approval of what others have said added that “Osinbajo is our own.”
Other APC stalwarts present at the meeting are Yusha’u Adamu who served Mr Bindow as adviser and Abubakar Sirimbai, who was a former development area chairman.
Sources privy to the development said the meeting took place on Sunday August 8, 2021 at the residence of the former commissioner of local government and chieftaincy affairs, under the Bindow administration, Mustapha Barkindo-Mustapha, between 3:00pm to 5:00pm.
