Elder
statesman, Ayo Adebanjo, has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari has lost
his integrity.
He also claimed that the ‘juju at
Aso Rock has turned Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo into worst devil.’
He advised
the Vice President to step down in solidarity with Chief Obafemi Awolowo ’s
struggle for true federalism.
Asked if some corruption scandals
in current administration has stained the reputation of integrity with which
Buhari campaigned for president in 2015 and won, Adebanjo told Punch that the
President’s integrity is was already gone.
According to him, His [Buhari’s]
integrity is gone. He should know that, except those who are still ‘chopping’
(eating ) under his government. All those who thought he had integrity have
seen that none of it is there.
“When a man who has integrity
authorises his AGF to go and meet a criminal in a strange land and then
reinstates that criminal ? It’s a pity.”
Speaking on
Osinbajo, he added, “Don ’t mind that one . I have told him to remember the son
of who he is. His father and I were the followers of (Chief Obafemi ) Awolowo
on federalism.
“He was born in federalism . And
when he was the Attorney General in Lagos, he took Obasanjo to court over local
government allocation that was depriving Lagos. He won the case up to the
Supreme Court . Now, he is the Vice -President.
“It just reminds me of what Reuben
Abati wrote that there is something wrong; the moment some people get to Aso
Rock , there is a juju there that turns the good people among them into the
worst devils.
“He should have resigned. I say
that without any hesitation. The Vice – President — I know him from his youth —
highly intelligent and highly qualified.
“A
professor who is very sound. He has a job of his own. He is not jobless Why
shouldn’t he resign? He went there with the thought to serve, maybe thinking of
the West that, if there are any excesses of the President , he would be able to
check it.
“No ! He was brought into wealth
and he was silenced because of office. So, the Vice – President has no excuse .
Tinubu has no excuss, particularly the Vice – President , who is a professional
in his own right. He knows about all these ills. He has fought against them
before. All these things are going on and you are seeing it?”
