Speaker 1: President Bola Ahmed Tanubu has confirmed and announced the death
Speaker 1: of the nigeria immediate past President Mohammadu Buhari at a
Speaker 1: London hospital at about four thirty pm on Sunday, after
Speaker 1: years of rumours and speculations by the detained leader of
Speaker 1: the Indigenous People of Biafra, ipob Marzi Namdi Kardo that
Speaker 1: the person that ruled Nigeria for the last eight years
Speaker 1: died few years after he took over office. On May
Speaker 1: twenty nine, twenty fifteen. The news of former President Buhari's

Speaker 1: and irrelevance. Where was this honesty when the Nigerian people
Speaker 1: needed it? Where was this truth when I p o
Speaker 1: B and our leader were being vilified, jailed and labeled
Speaker 1: terrorists for speaking it. If this level of deliberate misinformation
Speaker 1: had happened in any sane society, those responsible would be
Speaker 1: in jail for subverting the constitution, undermining national security, and
Speaker 1: deceiving the electorate. But Nigeria rewards mediocrity, protects liars and
Speaker 1: punishes truth tellers. The truth is like the rising sun.
Speaker 1: It cannot be suppressed. To day. Garba Cheh has confessed,
Speaker 1: tomorrow others will follow. Assou Rock is a house built
