Foundation for Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Crusade, FHRACC, has
described United States President, Donald trump’s purported phone
conversation with President Muhammadu Buhari as a ruse, Daily Post reports.
FHRACC made the claim in a statement signed by its National
President, Alaowei Cleric and its Diaspora Coordinator, Jerry Otuaro,
where they described the report as a fabricated lie.
In the statement, FHRACC said, “We have been dismayed with
consternation over the trending news that President Donald Trump of the
United States of America has called President Buhari on phone while the
later is enjoying his esoteric leave in the UK.
“We would not have bothered to respond to such fabricated lie which
ultimate end is to deceive gullible Nigerians, our concern is the length
they have gone to cook up stories just to buy time.
“While Nigerians are eagerly awaiting to see their President, it is
shameful that the presidency is using the controversial vacation of
Buhari to the UK as a platform to manufacture lies.
“Of what good will it do to Nigeria if the US government refute this claim like that of Tinubu’s bizarre journey to the UK?
“On the contrary, if the said purported call is true then we have
been vindicated. It only proved to us that the voice of Jacob is acting
ceremoniously in Nigeria while the hands of Esau is performing the
executive functions from the UK.
“The Nigerian constitution does not provide for parliamentary system
of government. Nigeria can only have one President at a time.
“The content of Trump conversation with Buhari as published in the
media is a usurpation of the power of the Acting President. If actually
Buhari is hale hearty, let him come to the country to resume duties.
“He should not be in the UK, while on leave, to receive
correspondents on behalf of the Government. That should be the functions
of the Acting President.
“Considering the above convoluted rhetorics, we hereby renew our
earlier call that President Buhari should address Nigerians in an
audio-visual message. If however he is sick as being insinuated by some
persons then let him declare himself unfit to rule the country, in case
his condition calls for that, so that the Acting President can become
the substantive one. Buhari should know that his aids have held the
country ransom with his absence.
“The presidential image makers have turned out to be presidential
liars to be publishing headline news of Buhari’s contact with select
Nigerians in order that they can evade the question of their principal’s
health status in the UK. What a pity? We are calling on Nigerians to be
vigilant.
“Cabals are it again. If all is well with our President, we see no
reason why his close political associates are paying him visit in the UK
with confusing circumstances?”
