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.
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.
Yar'Adua also suffered from chronic allergic disorder and this
was easily attributed to be the direct cause of his death.
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.
