<v Speaker 1>President Bola Ahmed Tanubu has confirmed and announced the death

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.919
<v Speaker 1>of the nigeria immediate past President Mohammadu Buhari at a

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.759
<v Speaker 1>London hospital at about four thirty pm on Sunday, after

4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 1>years of rumours and speculations by the detained leader of

5
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the Indigenous People of Biafra, ipob Marzi Namdi Kardo that

6
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the person that ruled Nigeria for the last eight years

7
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>died few years after he took over office. On May

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine, twenty fifteen. The news of former President Buhari's

9
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>death came at a time the ex president was a

10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>major point of discussion during the preceding week after the

11
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 1>personal media a to the late President Garbashe who confessed

12
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>he lied to cover up the health issues of the

13
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>then President Mohammadu Buhari, a confession. The Indigenous People of

14
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Biafra described and said that the Garba sEH Who's confessional

15
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 1>statement about the use of the Villarat invasion story to

16
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>cover up former President Mohammadu Buhari's illness vindicates its detained

17
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 1>leader Nami Kanu, who had speculated years ago, starting from

18
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, that the real Mohammadu Buhari died few years

19
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>after assuming office that the man that ruled Nigeria for

20
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the last part of first tenure and second tenure was

21
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>mister Jibral Al Sudani from Sudan. In a statement on

22
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Saturday by the Beafric Groups spokesperson Emma Powerful, I p

23
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>o B said Kannu was the first to expose Buhari's

24
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>health condition and was persecuted for it. The group described

25
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Show's confession as a delayed confession borne out of guilt

26
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and irrelevance. Where was this honesty when the Nigerian people

27
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>needed it? Where was this truth when I p o

28
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>B and our leader were being vilified, jailed and labeled

29
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 1>terrorists for speaking it. If this level of deliberate misinformation

30
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>had happened in any sane society, those responsible would be

31
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>in jail for subverting the constitution, undermining national security, and

32
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>deceiving the electorate. But Nigeria rewards mediocrity, protects liars and

33
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>punishes truth tellers. The truth is like the rising sun.

34
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>It cannot be suppressed. To day. Garba Cheh has confessed,

35
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow others will follow. Assou Rock is a house built

36
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>on lies and the foundation is shaking. The statement added,

37
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the former President Mahammadu Buhari had begged for forgiveness if

38
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 1>he had done any one wrong. In twenty twenty three,

39
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>he said at a gathering that whoever thought that there

40
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 1>has been some form of injustice on him, we are

41
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>all humans. There is no doubt I hurt some people

42
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and I wish they would pardon me. And those who

43
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>think that I have heard them, please pardon me. Late

44
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 1>President Mohammadu Buhari stated this in May twenty twenty three,

45
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>according to the video republished on ex social media platform

119
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 1>called on all Kenya citizens to declare President WILLIAMS. Ruto

120
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>government as an illegitimate regime that is an enemy of

121
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 1>the people, hostile to the people, killing the people by

122
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 1>thus boycotting all government functions and activities, and delegitimize the

123
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 1>government's businesses and actions, insisting twenty twenty seven is too

124
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>far for Kenyans to wait before ending the presidency of Ruto,

125
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and in a swift reaction, President William Ruto on Wednesday

<v Speaker 1>visited Daggaretti, northern side of Nairobi to inspect the construction

<v Speaker 1>nation and declared those or apparent protesters who attacked fellow Kenyans,

130
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>police officers, security installations and businesses as terrorists, stressing such

131
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 1>acts are a declaration of war and he will never

132
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 1>allowed retrogressive elements who want to rise to power through

133
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>shortcut succeed. Opposition leaders on Tuesday accused the government of

134
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>deploying unmarked police vehicles to transport armed gangs to perceived

135
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>opposition strongholds during the protests. They called for a national

136
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:51.879
<v Speaker 1>boycott of all businesses affiliated with President Ruto's administration, accusing

137
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>his government of deploying state sponsored violence and extra judicial

138
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>killings on Kenyans. This regime is hostile, It cannot be

139
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>reasoned with. It must be resisted. We will not rest,

140
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>we will not retreat, We will not surrender, the opposition

141
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>said in a joint statement. Jeffrey Rigothy Gachagua, one of

142
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the opposition leaders and former Deputy President of Kenya, said

143
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 1>on the seventh of July twenty twenty five, the thirty

144
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>fifth anniversary of Saba Saba, Kenyans took to the streets

145
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to protest. Unknown to the peaceful protesters, the time regime

146
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>of William Ruto had a well organized state sponsored militia

147
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 1>working in cohort with the police domain kill, destroy property

148
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 1>and blame it on the Kakuyu community. President Ruto's ic

149
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>SEE cases are still ongoing and were paused after witnesses disappeared.

150
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.399
<v Speaker 1>It is clear that history is repeating itself. Ruto is

152
00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>To President Ruto, I say this with a lot of humility.

153
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Please stop being angry. The people of Kenya are far

154
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>more angry than you are. If you truly want this

155
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 1>to end, then restore the dignity of the pacelip. When

156
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the middle class can breathe, they will create jobs for

157
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>our young people. Stop the abductions, stop the extra judicial killings,

158
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and if you want this to end, disband the killer squad.

<v Speaker 1>Commission is still actively monitoring and following up on all
