Nigeria's Former President Ibrahim Babangida long term confidant Professor Ukandi G. Damachi had allegedlly told the United states council that former president Yar'Adua was poisoned by Ex President Obasanjo's Kitchen staff.
[image]According to Wiki leaks Professor Ukandi G. Damachi who is a friend to the US consul, He told them in secrecy about the alleged poisoning.
Professor Ukandi G. Damachi is a friend to US consul, long term confidant to Nigeria's past president Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida with privy to Nigeria's government workings inside information.
The Wikileaks cable, reference ID 08LAGOS153, described in Professor Damachi's narration, that late president Yar'Adua was given poison in his food, "his food was poisoned", he alleged. Further stating that the president inherited his predecessor, president Obasanjo's kitchen, and these kitchen staff were likely used to poison Nigeria's president. The professor further revealed that when president Yar'Adua realized this he fired the Obasanjo kitchen staff.
He Said: "There are lots of problems in Nigeria." The first problem, he said, is the President's illness; "his food was poisoned", Damachi alleged. Asked whether he meant "food poisoning" or that someone had deliberately poisoned the President's food, Damachi shrugged, replying "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 said.At the same time, Damachi went on, the President did attend functions on both the Saturday and Sunday preceding his illness and ate some food at both of them. "What President eats at a function?", Damachi asked rhetorically. 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 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, Aliku Dangote and Femi Otedola.
"In the weeks leading up 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."
By July of 2007, barely 2 months into office, Yar'Adua had held meetings with Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE), to querry the sale of Nigeria's refineries to Obasanjo's henchmen, Aliku Dangote and tycoon Otedola. BPE reportedly justified the sale to Bluestar, saying it was transparent, but the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) faulted it, and maintained that the corporation was capable of running them efficiently.
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." Dangote And former president Obasanjo Dangote And former president Obasanjo President Yar'Adua, determined to recover Nigeria's infrastructure and assets coveted by Obasanjo and his cronies, moved on to other government assets.
The possibility of the poisoning to death of a Nigerian serving head of State will amount to a grievous crime. The exhumation of late President Yar'Adua's body may be necessitated as well as a thorough investigation of ll who may have been involved in the murder of a president in office.
Late Palestinian premier, Yasser Arafat was recently exhumed due to evidence of polonium poisoning as an investigation into alleged Israeli intelligence poisoning was reopened.

Very soon yhu will take yr lyf as a Joke....

No jokes, this must be investigated.So many seem to have gotten away with impunity in this country and for some god-forsaken reason these same individuals who in developed societies should be serving long imprisonment still have so much influence on our polity debates.
On an aside, couldn't we all stand and form a strong alternative to this PDP and that APC? A group of already successful individuals with verifiable clean hard earned wealth who reallly want to serve our countrymen.A group of no big names but with equal of more resources than THEM with a realistic approach to combat corruption,embezzlements,and all these yeye nyamanyama we read about daily.Men i don tire for all these characters Obasanjos, Babangidas, Shagaris, Abdulsalaams, Atikus, Oduahs, Maduekes, Jonathans, Amaechis, Dicksons, Otedolas, Dangotes, Tinubus, Tukurs, Abatis, abeg them plenyt but we plenty pass them, how and why then do we standby and look. Search these names on nairaland and no better thing you go read about their names, no soso nonsense

Am ready to lead or follow. Abeg make we find alternative before 2020
