A group Arewa Youth Leaders for Development
and Change (AYLDC) has alleged that a national
leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the South West is behind
“the nefarious activities” to bring down the Chief of Staff to the President,
Alhaji Abba Kyari and the President’s nephew, Alhaji Mamman Daura.
In a statement signed by the National President of AYLDC, Abubakar
A. Karga, said the group had observed with disappointment the
unwarranted and malicious attacks on Kyari and Daura in some online
publications re-publishing the malicious contents.
AYLDC said the APC leader “ is still smarting from not being the
one to make every single appointment made by Mr President.”
“They are the ones who use
their offices to lend legitimacy to questionable information to make it appear
as if the lies being reported are true. “The impression sought to be created is
that Abba Kyari is corrupt. Our position is that these are unjustified attacks
on an achiever out of spite and should at best be ignored. “Daura has been
falsely accused of corruption and meddlesomeness in state affairs repeatedly
and without basis.
“After painstaking efforts to understand the nature and intent of
these attacks, we came to realise that Kyari and Daura are pawns on the board
for people who want to get at President Muhammadu Buhari for selfish reasons”
the statement said.
According to the AYLDC those behind the attacks on Kyari and
Daura, “are trying to link both men to corruption
in order to rubbish Mr President’s
anti-corruption efforts by making it appear as if he condones wrongdoing from
his trusted aides and family members as well as blackmail
him to firing those that genuinely have his interest at heart while clearing the
way for those sponsoring these attacks.
“We want to categorically
state that we now know those paying this medium to lie against good men. We
found out that a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), from
the South West is at the centre of the nefarious activities to bring down both
men and all those close to President Buhari. ”
The group said the behavior is totally unacceptable and should not
be tolerated in Nigeria or any other country for that matter.
Meanwhile, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has asked the national chairman of the party, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun, to resign for derailing the party’s agenda.
