He made the disclosure while playing host to the South-West women of the All Progressives Congress led by the wife of the party’s presidential candidate, Hajia Aisha Buhari.
Obasanjo had recently warned against introduction of Interim National Government by the Presidency which he said could plunge the country into chaos like the former President of Cote d’l voire , Laurent Gbagbo who refused to hand over after he lost the election did.
The former President said, he was happy that Nigeria has gone beyond the rumour of Interim National Government, saying that, he hopes the country will also survive the rumour of handing over to the military. He explained that the intentional community especially the African Union would not accommodate or recognise any government that emerges without the constitution of the country.
The Coup Details – we pray that that this is not real
A very senior officer with deep concern about the future of Nigeria has requested anonymity while confirming that the President, NSA and the Service Chiefs have concluded arrangements for military to take over government in case early election results indicate PDP’s failure. The president has already paid some groups to come out en mass and demonstrate against the INEC Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega while other group are paid to cause electoral confusion in some states. The military will use these as excuse to justify the takeover.
The general said the military will dissolve all political parties and ban the contestants from taking part in politics. In case of much pressure on the junta, they have already secured interim president and vice president from North and South West respectively, he added. The coup is likely to be staged when Jonathan is already in his village for election. Prof Attahiru Jega is likely to be arrested and the junta will promise free and fair elections and an end to BOKO HARAM insurgency, the source confirmed.
All well-meaning Nigerians are requested to pray for this country against the evil that is lurking around the corners. Please share among your friends for the sake of Democracy.
