THE PERMUTATIONS BY TURAI YAR’ADUA

Dear Sir,

THE PERMUTATIONS BY TURAI YAR’ADUA

By now it is becoming clearer to Nigerians that President Yar’Adua did not sign the Appropriation Bill as claimed by his kitchen cabinet. We wait on our judiciary to handle this matter of forgery of the episode. If the President was able to sign the voluminous Appropriation Bill, it would have been easier for him to sign a sheet of paper to the Senate informing it that Jonathan should act on his behalf in order to move the nation forward, until he comes back.

Furthermore, the Nigerian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia should be sacked without further delay because he together with Turai, and some kitchen cabinet members of President Yar’adua call Nigerians fools. These individuals continued telling us varied stories at different times, all in attempt to convince us that Yar’Adua was fast regaining himself. Truth is always constant; that is why it dropped from the mouth of the Nigerian Ambassador in Saudi who said “that Yar’Adua is now eating and resting”. This statement implied that Yar’Adua had been unconscious all this while and thereby has affirmed to the judiciary and Nigerians that Yar’Adua’s signature on the Appropriation Bill, if at all it has been delivered to National Assembly, was forged.

It was revealing reading the January 25, 2010 edition of The Insider weekly magazine that gave a graphic account of the scheming by Turai. According to the investigation conducted by the magazine, Turai was all the while lobbying to be made the Vice-President in the event that Goodluck Jonthan gets sworn in as the substantive President. Where in the constitution did she see something like that or has Nigeria become personal estate of the Yar’Adua’s family? The revelation by the magazine should be properly investigated.
