On May 8 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.640 twenty nine, twenty fifteen. The news of former President Buhari's 9 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.000 death came at a time the ex president was a 10 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.320 major point of discussion during the preceding week after the 11 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.359 personal media a to the late President Garbasheh, who confessed 12 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.759 he lied to cover up the health issues of the 13 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.320 then President Mohammadu Buhari, a confession. The Indigenous People of 14 00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.719 Biafra described and said that the Garba se whose confessional 15 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.799 statement about the use of the Villarat invasion story to 16 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.920 cover up former President Mohammadu Buhari's illness, vindicates its detained leader, 17 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.840 Namdi Karu, who had speculated years ago, starting from twenty eighteen, 18 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.959 that the real Mohammadu Buhari died few years after assuming 19 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.519 office that the man that ruled Nigeria for the last 20 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.840 part of first tenure and second tenure was mister Jibralral 21 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.000 Sudani from Sudan. In a statement on Saturday by the 22 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.519 BEAFRIC Group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful, I p o B said 23 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.840 Karnu was the first to expose Buhari's health condition and 24 00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.159 was persecuted for it. The group described Show's confession as 25 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.920 a delayed confession borne out of guilt and irrelevance. Where 26 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.319 was this honesty when the Nigerian people needed it? Where 27 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.560 was this truth when I p o B and our 28 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.959 leader were being vilified, jailed and labeled terrorists for speaking it. 29 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.959 If this level of deliberate misinformation had happened in any 30 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.079 sane society, those responsible would be in jail for subverting 31 00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.599 the constitution, undermining national security, and deceiving the electorate. But 32 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:06.719 Nigeria rewards mediocrity, protects liars and punishes truth tellers. The 33 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.280 truth is like the rising sun. It cannot be suppressed. 34 00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:15.479 To day, Gaba Cheho has confessed, Tomorrow others will follow. 35 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.439 Assou Rock is a house built on lies and the 36 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:23.639 foundation is shaking. The statement added, the former President Mohammadu 37 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.520 Buhari had begged for forgiveness if he had done any 38 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.080 one wrong. In twenty twenty three, he said at a 39 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.280 gathering that whoever thought that there has been some form 40 00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.159 of injustice on him, we are all humans. There is 41 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.800 no doubt I hurt some people and I wish they 42 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.080 would pardon me.

Bola Ahmed Tanubu, 98 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.959 gcf R, President Federal Republic of Nigeria, stated this on Sunday, 99 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.920 July thirteenth, twenty twenty five. It would be recalled that 100 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.519 in April twenty nineteen, during the preparation for the Nigeria 101 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.560 general elections, Nandikarnu came up with a fresh claim about 102 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.319 the true nationality of President Mohammadu Buhari. Carlu, in his 103 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:57.160 broadcast from the United Kingdom, said that neither dead Mohammadu 104 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:02.720 Buhari nor his replacement, Jubil al Sudani, is qualified to 105 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:08.040 contest for Nigeria's presidential election. Nandikru argued that being born 106 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.399 on Nigerian soil was not enough to qualify one as 107 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.879 a Nigerian citizen by birth unless the parents grandparents of 108 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.920 such person is also born in Nigeria. The IPO B 109 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.279 leader said that Buhari's father, Hardo Adamu was a nomadic 110 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.680 Fulani trader, a duk seller from Nijei Republican later became 111 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.839 a bodyguard in the Emir of Dara's palace, which made 112 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.199 him to settle in Dara Katsena State, adding that he 113 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:40.519 Hado was born in Niger Republic, not Nigeria. Nandi Knu 114 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.600 vowed to continue his efforts to unmask Jubral Aminu al Sudani, 115 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.560 the Sudanese man whom he had claimed is replaced the 116 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.600 then President Buhari in the presidential villa in a video 117 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.560 he posted on social media to wish his followers a 118 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.879 happy twenty nineteen. Karnu, who went missing in September twenty 119 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.360 seventeen and researchst in Israel in October twenty eighteen, said 120 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.920 the worst days for the secessionist group were over. In 121 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.560 the twenty nineteen promises to be appointed year of Biafra 122 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.519 independence and in the video, karlu Vauta insure that activities 123 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.560 in Biafra land will be grounded during the presidential election. 124 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.079 He said, the unmasking of Jubil Aminu al Sudani, the 125 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.480 fake Nigerian President, will continue unabated. By the time we 126 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.399 are done with him and his handlers, Laggard will become 127 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.720 truly ashamed of what he created. I would like to 128 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.840 see Nigerians participate in elections where one of the names 129 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.000 on the ballad paper is a dead man. This shame 130 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.200 and humiliation is one that will never leave Nigeria as 131 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.080 it heads ingloriously towards self destruction. We understand the enemy 132 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.480 has announced yet another round of Fulani military invasion of 133 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.279 our land in the name of Operation Python Dance, no doubt, 134 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.240 to help facilitate the rigging of elections for Jubil al 135 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.720 Sudani and the cronies of Lani Kval across Nigeria. What 136 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.360 I said previously still stand and there is no going back. 137 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.120 Chuku Okkabiyama is my witness that any reported shooting or 138 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.559 killing of any Biafran by this Fulani janjuwied army of 139 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:19.200 Nigeria will be avenged, he said. In December twenty nineteen, 140 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.399 then President Muhammadu Buhari personally spoke and said he's not 141 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:27.559 the jibral from Sudan, that he's the real Buhari. Nigerians 142 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:28.200 voted for. 143 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.879 We are humans, no doubt. 144 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:46.000 I had some peopled and as pagan and I had 145 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:55.960 them so much.

They 278 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.359 called for a national boycott of all businesses affiliated with 279 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:57.400 President Ruto's administration, accusing his government of deploying state sponsored 280 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:02.599 violence and extra judicial killings on Kenyon. This regime is hostile, 281 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.319 It cannot be reasoned with. It must be resisted. We 282 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.000 will not rest. We will not retreat.

To President Ruto, I say this with 295 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.200 a lot of humility. Please stop being angry. The people 296 00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:05.400 of Kenya are far more angry than you are. If 297 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:08.640 you truly want this to end, then restore the dignity 298 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:12.359 of the pacelip.
