Alhaji Sulaiman Adamu, the caretaker chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State’s Yola South local government, has taken a jab at President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that if wishes were horses, he would wish for coronavirus to kill the president.
Adamu, who made the disparaging remark, stated that if he had to choose between Buhari and his Vice President, Yemi Osinbanjo, he would select the latter without hesitation.
According to reliable sources, the APC chairman made the statement during a meeting with some high-profile APC stakeholders, including Senator Muhammadu Umar Jibrilla Bindow, the immediate past Governor of Adamawa State, and the immediate past Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, who is the incumbent member representing Yola south constituency in the state house of assembly.
Yusha’u Adamu, who functioned as Bindow’s counsel, and Abubakar Umar Sirimbai, a former development area chairman, were also present at the meeting.
According to sources familiar with the situation, the meeting took place between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 8, 2021, at the residence of Mustapha Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha, the former commissioner of local government and chieftaincy affairs under the Bindow administration.
In an available audio clip, the APC leaders can be heard making bitter and derogatory remarks about President Muhammadu Buhari’s person without being interrupted.
“I don’t know why Coronavirus did not kill Buhari. If the president is placed side by side with Osinbajo, I would pick Osinbajo and leave Buhari,” the voice credited to the Yola South APC chairman was heard lamenting in the viral audio clip, spoken in Fulfulde.
Another smirking vituperation directed at the president came from a voice identified as Abubakar Sirimbai, who claimed it was preferable for the accursed president to die so that Osinbajo could seize power.
“It is better for the accursed president to die so that his vice can take over the leadership.
“We sold our properties to help the president win the election. We bought underwears, braziers, and cosmetics, which we used to give him a 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,” Sirimbai said.
“Osinbajo is our own,” stated the voice credited to the former speaker of the state house of assembly, Mijinyawa, in apparent acceptance of what others had said.
