Nigeria's
Former President Ibrahim Babangida long term 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 All who may have been involved in the murder of a president in office.
