Will Benefit From Abba Kyari's Sack?
Recently the news that some persons were protesting at the
Presidential Villa Aso Rock for the removal of Abba Kyari the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari
was on the news bar of many media houses in the country. This call for the
removal of the Chief of staff which is gradually becoming resonating has become
a sort of blackmail against the Borno born administrator.
I have written many times on the call for the sack of Abba
Kyari and my question has always been that what prove do these people calling
for his sack have against him other than incurable hate. There seem to be a
kind of concerted plan to ensure that he leaves office and the question on my
lips and many Nigerians is that who will benefit from his sack? They have
accused him of being the leader of the cabal in the presidential villa but I want
to state unequivocally here that it is those that are calling for his sack that
are the real cabals. They have to be unmasked in order for us to know the
brains behind the problems which the Chief of staff as well as the Buhari administration
is facing.
One thing that surprised me as well as most Nigerians is the
spate of leakage of correspondences between political office holders and the
presidency. As much as I know that these leakages are done to spite the Chief
of Staff in order to give reasons for his sack, I wonder if those behind these
leakages actually have the growth and development of this great country at
heart.
President Buhari's efforts to fight corruption is on the
right track but as they keep saying, when one fights corruption does fight back
and from what we are witnessing in the whole saga against the Chief of Staff,
it is evident that corruption is really fighting back against the Buhari
administration.
Abba Kyari has occupied various positions in his illustrious
life as a banker per excellence even during the era of failed banks but no
finger was pointed at him rather he helped transform the United Bank for Africa
as Managing Director of the bank. His legacy still lives on till today at the
bank. Having occupied such a lofty position at the UBA without any blemish against
him is it now that he has joined an administration whose mantra is to fight
corruption that he will suddenly change?
It is a known cliché that a leopard does not change its
spots. This is the same with Alhaji Abba Kyari who carved very positive spots
in his youth days as a career banker. Nothing will make him change his colour
today that he has a reputation to keep.
I understand the desperation of his traducers to ensure that
he is booted out of government but with my knowledge and belief in President
Muhammadu Buhari, I don't think he can fall for the cheap blackmail of the
cabal that seriously want to see the Chief of Staff booted out of office based
on hear say gossips. If there are people in this administration that has good
reputation to keep, Alhaji Abba Kyari falls in that league. One of the reasons
that they have been fighting him is that they expected that he will be granting
them easy access to Mr. President based on pecuniary incentives as it used to
happen in previous administrations but unfortunately such has not been the
case. The traducers of the Chief of Staff also fail to understand that he has
been a Buharist for a very long time and knows the body language of the
president very well that he cannot compromise.
It is common knowledge that once somebody walks into the
murky waters of politics a lot of mud will be poured on the person but I want
to stress that no matter the mud poured on him by his traducers they will never
succeed because he is far above the level they are. Nigeria must move forward
and nothing can stop the march of the Buhari administration to drive home its
fight to rid the country of corrupt elements.
Their resort to cheap blackmail
against not only Alhaji Abba Kyari but against other hardworking appointees of
the President will not see the light of the day.
In conclusion, I want to urge President Buhari to continue
with his anti corruption fight. The journey might not be smooth but definitely
at the end of his first year term Nigerians will be able to appreciate what he
has done and at the end also, the likes of Abba Kyari and co will be vindicated.
