At 77, retired General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma can be excused for
mistakes such as saying President Muhammadu Buhari was killed in 1976.

General TY Danjuma (rtd) speaking at the event


To his credit, the Taraba-born former defence minister quickly realised his
mistake and apologised for the error.

TY Danjuma was speaking at the 40th memorial lecture in honour of Late
General Muhammed organised by the Murtala Mohammed Foundation. He is
the vice chairman of the foundation.

Danjuma who seemed to be on a roll in his ‘comic’ acts, had earlier made
the audience laugh when he singled out his state governor, Architect Darius
Ishaku for special mention after acknowledging dignatries at the event.
He referred to the governor’s recent validation of his electoral victory at the
supreme court over

Nigeria’s women affairs minister, Senator Aishat Alhassan, a member of the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in what appears to be made in a
mocking tone.

Not done, during the course of his speech, he also declared that Channels
Television is Nigeria’s truly national television station, thereby dismissing
the government-owned Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), whose director
general was one of the heads of parastatals sacked by the federal
government yesterday, February 15.


After making the audience laugh for most part of his speech, Danjuma who
served under the late General Muhammed, in an emotional laden voice,
recalled how he had been condemned to death by Lt. Col. Buka Suka Dimka
and his gang of conspirators who killed General Muhammed, but he was
saved by the grace of God.
