Yoruba Leader Reveals Abba Kyari Was Nigeria’s De Facto President by prof2007(op): 12:31am On Apr 21, 2020
The Yoruba World Congress (YWC) on Monday rubbished the several empathies for Abba Kyari, late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari. The body labeled Kyari as Nigeria’s de facto President and suggested that he was the one controlling the nation’s affairs.

YWC President, Prof. Banji Akintoye, in a statement issued by Adeyemi Adeleye, the Director of Communication, drew the attention of Nigerians to the enormous powers the late CoS wielded. “Our position is that Nigeria is being run as a Banana Republic; a country in which the structure of government depends on the whims and caprices of the leader of the government.”

The Yoruba leader described as outrageous and unacceptable that appointed office-holders were subjected to the absurdity of having to go through the Chief of Staff to see the President. “We are talking of high public officials such as governors, ministers, ambassadors, top federal career civil servants, National Assembly members and, to our collective embarrassment, the Vice-President.

“A Chief of Staff is no more than the head of the president’s kitchen cabinet, the president’s collection of personal staff, that has no superiority to the structural pillars established by the constitution of Nigeria. Abba Kyari’s unconstitutional position as de facto president in recent times, coupled with an elected President who is periodically nowhere to be found, has seriously deNoodd the legitimacy of government in our country.”

Akintoye said this manifested the seizure of government by a cabal belonging to a small section of the country, perpetuating impunity, and spiteful disregard for the respect due to the other sections and nationalities of Nigeria. “We have a Vice President who has been boxed into a disrespectful corner simply because he does not belong to the self-appointed owners of our country,” he added.

Akintoye observed that majority of Nigerians and the international community have been watching in disbelief how Africa’s most populous nation is being run like the personal estate of a small cabal. The YWC advised Buhari and the presidency to free itself of powerful people and allow the federal government to run as it should, in order to ensure that the masses get the dividends of democracy.

Only idiots believe abba kiary was the de facto president. The man was just doing his job. He shielded buhari against opposition and they directed their attack on him. If I should ask you now why he is the de facto president you won’t have any tangible thing to say other regurgitate rumors peddled by the likes of ffk.

So Prof Banjo Akintoye is a Yoruba leader. The writer of this nonsense should be at Isolation Center because COVID-19 has infected his chicken brain.

Go and tell your useless story to the Igbos rejoicing online that Abba Kyari is dead. Foolish people who don't have a future.

AKINJIDE JUST DIED. HE WAS THE MOTHER OF CONSTITUTIONAL STATE AUTONOMY IN NIGERIA.

OBASANJO JUST ADVISED BUHARI TO RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA AND THE 1999 EXCLUSIVE LIST TO SERVE AS A LEGACY TO REDEEM HIS(BUHARI'S) MILITARY PROFESSION.

FREDERICK FASHEUN OF OPC ONCE HINTED THAT BUHARI MAY CAUSE NIGERIA'S BREAKUP IF CARE IS NOT TAKEN. AK IS NOW VERY DEAD.

THE NW, EXCEPT KATSINA STATE, SE SS AND CS ARE NOT REALLY PROUD OF ABBA KYARI'S LEFTOVERS

AND SO ODUDUWA SHOULD ASSERT NIGERIANS RIGHT TO

1, INDEPENDENT POLICE GOVERNANCE OF EVERY CONSTITUTIONAL STATE IN NIGERIA.

2, INDEPENDENT RESOURCES CONTROL OF THEIR LANDS AND MINERAL WEALTH.

3, INDEPENDENT ELECTION ENGINEERING PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES OF THEIR LIVES.

4, REVERSED REVENUE ALLOCATION FORMULA BY LETTING THE CONSTITUTIONAL STATES CONTRIBUTE MAYBE TEN PERCENTAGE OF EACH STATE'S REVENUE TO RUNNING FG FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS MILITARY AND TREATIES FULLY AND ONLY.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

I thought PDP has done all the above listed. Obasanjo was President for 8 years very recently. If he did not Restructure during his 8 years of looting but he is now asking Buhari to Restructure, then Obasanjo needs psychiatric evaluation.

YOU MEAN BUHARI CAN NEVER ESCAPE MISGOVERNANCE AND AVOID MISRULE? NO CONSTITUTION CAN EVER MAKE AK MORE POWERFUL THAN PYO IF WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING. NO ASSISTANCE OF OBJ WAS EVER MORE POWERFUL THAN ATIKU. ATIKU JUST PROVED UNWILLING TO WORK CONSTITUTIONALLY. AND OBJ WAS A MATCH. NOW IT'S TIME FOR VP TO SHINE. GOD HAS LIGHTENED THE DARKNESS IN HIS WAY.
