Former spokesman of the defunct Congress
for Progressive Change (one of the legacy
parties that merged to form the All
Progressives Congress), Engr. Rotimi
Fashakin, has warned that the presidency
would be held responsible should any harm
befall former Head of State, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).
Fashakin was reacting to a tweet by former
Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Malam
Nasir El-Rufai, on Thursday that top
politicians as Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,
Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Interim
National Chairman of APC, Bisi Akande and
himself are on the purported political watch
list of the presidency.
“I am number seven on the GEJ (Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan) sniper list, so I will only worry
when GMB (General Muhammadu Buhari),
Asiwaju (Tinubu), Amaechi, Akande, etc, are
killed”, he tweeted.
Fashakin, who said the former military Head
of State’s camp was not surprised that the
General’s name was on the list, stated that
Buhari got 12 million votes on the platform of
CPC, a 10-month-old party at that time, and
had since then remained a nightmare to the
President.
He said, “Everybody knows that the name of
Gen. Buhari conjures fear in the heart of the
President. That is why they would rather wish
that he is no longer in the equation. El-Rufai
cannot be far from the truth when he
asserted the VIPs that are in the wanted list.
He is totally correct.
“Jonathan’s presidency should tell us why
(former Chief Security Officer to the late Head
of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, Hamza) al-
Mustapha is being kept in the Army.
“One of the things that will be giving the
presidency sleepless nights will be how to rig.
They used some incumbent governors to
reduce the vote of the CPC”.
The defunct CPC spokesman added that
former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter
to Jonathan did the nation a great service,
adding that the President’s response did not
erase any doubt.
He expressed his suspicion over the
reinstatement of al-Mustapha into the army
after 15 years in detention. He said it might
not be unconnected with the watch list as
alleged in Obasanjo’s letter.
“Knowing al-Mustapha’s antecedent as one
who superintended over Abacha’s killer
squad, why shouldn’t we be apprehensive
that this government is trying to play with
fire”, Fashakin said.
He also said it was the duty of the Nigerian
state to protect Buhari, as a former Head of
State.
Fashakin added, “It will be a shame to the
Nigerian state, if the amiable General is
allowed to be taken out just like that. It is not
for him to protect himself; it is for the
Nigerian state to ensure that the dastardly
plot does not succeed because he has served
Nigeria meritoriously. It’s a good thing that
Nigerians have been put on notice. So, if
anything happens to Buhari, we know that
direction we should be looking at”.
