An elder statesman, Tanko
Yakasai, on Wednesday claimed that the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe
Kachikwu leaked the memo he wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari to embarrass
the president.
Yakasai also claimed that the
Minister deliberately leaked his epistle to the public so as to create the
impression that Buhari is weak.
In a statement he personally
signed, the elder statesman claimed that Kachikwu’s letter created an
impression that Buhari could be manipulated by his subordinates.
According to Yakasai, “My
feelings was that the leakage of the letter was simply made to embarrassed the
President and create an impression that he is not serious about following due
process.
“It is unimaginable to assume
that the leak of that letter can happen without the knowledge or even the
consent of the minister or anybody who is the author of such document .
“I know for sure that critical
communication at the higher level are normally not done through a third party
to avoid leakage of information.
“From the content of the Minister
Kachikwu’s letter, it contained series of grievances which appeared to have
over a long period of time.
“It is a common knowledge that
the President has been away for over three months recently, common sense
dictates that such accumulated differences should have been conveyed to the
Acting President during the absence of the President.”
