Buhari's Actions Are Bigotry, Nepotic, Danjuma Was Right About Him - Col. Nyiam
The mastermind of the April 21, 1990, failed coup, Col Tony Nyiam, retd,
has said that the recent outburst by TY Danjuma was a direct indictment of
President Muhammadu Buhari rather than the country’s Armed Forces.
According to Nyiam, the former Minister’s allegations did not indict the
corporate establishment of the armed forces, but exposed President Buhari.
Nyiam spoke with Sun in Abuja on Tuesday, during the public presentation
of ‘M.T. Mbu: Dignity in Service,’ an autobiography of Dr. Matthew Mbu, a
former minister of Foreign Affairs, published posthumously by the Executive
Chairman of Safari Books Limited, Chief Joop Berkhout.
He noted that, “What he was rather saying was that he was indicting the
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.”
Asked why he said so, Nyiam added, “Because, as it appeared, the armed
forces is being used to promote and defend the interest of President Muhammadu
Buhari’s kinsfolks’ interest.”
Danjuma, a former Minister of Defence, had last month, at the maiden
convocation/10th anniversary of Taraba State University, Jalingo, said there
was an attempt at ethnic cleansing in the state and, of course, some rural
states in Nigeria.
Danjuma further called on Nigerians
to defend themselves.
Buhari had told a group of Northern bishops, who visited him last week,
that he is not a bigot that they thought he (Buhari) was.
But Nyiam insisted that, “The evidence seems contrary. It is not the
talk, but the walk is different. What is my evidence?
“The whole 80 percent of the appointees to do with national security,
that is, in terms of the Service Chiefs and Directors-General of security
agencies; 80 percent are his tribe men. That is bigotry in action. It is not
enough to say you are not a bigot. This is the issue.”
Nyiam further said what Danjuma said was not new and recalled a
revelation by the Director-General of the Department of State Security (DSS),
Lawal Daura, during a Senate summit on security that “some of the military arms
that they found with the herdsmen, the sophisticated ones, are from the
military and police armouries.”
