Professor Ukandi Damachi Reveals How Obasanjo’s Kitchen Staff Poisoned Yar’adua by BeautyFULL85(f): 12:56pm On Nov 22, 2013
Shocking revelations has emerged over the death of former
President, Umar Musa Yar’Adua.
According to a former President, Ibrahim Babangida’s
long-term confidant, Professor Ukandi G. Damachi; the
late Yar’Adua was poisoned by ex-kitchen staff of
President Obasanjo.
Wikileaks had revealed that Professor Ukandi G. Damachi
who is a friend to the US consul, told them about the
alleged poisoning of the erstwhile president.
The Wikileaks cable, reference ID 08LAGOS153, described
in Professor Damachi’s narration, that the late president,
Yar’Adua was given poison in his food, “his food was
poisoned.”
According to the report, when president Yar’Adua realized
this, he sacked the entire Obasanjo’s kitchen staff.
He further alleged that, “There are lots of problems in
Nigeria.” The first problem, he said, is the President’s
illness; “his food was poisoned.”
“The President inherited Obasanjo’s kitchen staff”;
Yar’Adua has now fired them all, and the kitchen has
been cleaned out following the incident” Damachi added.
“The President was so sick that the day he signed the
budget, he was unable to sign a second piece of
legislation awaiting his approval…”
Late Yar’Adua was known to have stepped hard on his
predecessors toes. Upon entering office, president
Yar’Adua, described by his wife as a very honest man
who left no wealth behind seriously went after the reversal
of Nigeria’s public assets that his predecessor had sold to
his allies, Dangote and Femi Otedola.
“In the weeks leading to Obasanjo’s departure, Dangote’s
privately held company has also scooped up a cement
plant, a telecoms licence and mining concessions in a
rush of privatisations that has triggered accusations of
cronyism by opposition parties.”
President Yar’Adua “after considering the facts presented
to him, the President directed that the sale should be
revoked as the exercise was not transparent enough. The
Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) praised President
Yar’Adua for the revocation of the privatization of the refineries.
