Nigerians in Diaspora berate Buhari over Chatham House comments

By Emma Amaize

WARRI – NIGERIANS in Diaspora under the auspices of the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GEJ/Sambo Support Group, Europe and America, yesterday, berated former military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), Pastor Tunde Bakare and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Mallam Nasir el-Rufair, for allegedly inciting foreigners against President Jonathan in London.

The group in a statement, by its coordinator, Chief Lambert Igboanugo, said: “If the truth must be told, Gen. Buhari  used  his presentation of his account of the 2011 general elections, at Chatham House, London, to display his ignorance of Nigerian law on contempt of court.

“He took his case to a competent tribunal. While his case is at the tribunal, he became jittery and assembled his strange bedfellows to Chatham House to do a presentation on the result of the same election that he is challenging at the  tribunal in Nigeria.

“We, Nigerians in Diaspora, under the auspicies of GEJ/SAMBO 2011 Diaspora Support Group, Europe and America, condemn this absurdity in its totality. It is a show of shame and an act of incompetence.”
