SHOCKER: Tambuwal is on sniper list, FG plotting to kill him over defection to the APC –
El-Rufai


A former minister of FCT and governorship
aspirant in Kaduna state under the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2015
elections on Friday accused the Federal
Government of plotting to kill Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal,
over his defection from the PDP to APC on
Tuesday.
According to El-Rufai, Jonathan was behind
the withdrawal of Tambuwal’s security details,
adding that the speaker was among those on
the snipers list alleged by former President
Olusegun Obasanjo.
El-Rufai said this shortly after picking up his
APC guber nomination forms.
“That was why the Inspector-General of
Police, on the order of Jonathan withdrew the
Speaker security aides,” El-Rufai said, to back
up his allegation that Tambuwal is on the
alleged snipers list.
He said the withdrawal of Tambuwal’s security
personnels was to give the ‘killer squad’ a
clear pathway to assassinate the Speaker for
defecting to the APC.
He however urged the Federal Government to
thread softly and learn from the events in
Burkina Faso.
“The withdrawal of Tambuwal’s security aides
is on the order of the President Goodluck
Jonathan. The IG doesn’t act that way. The
president ordered the IG to order the removal.
Its just the continuation of the Jonathanian
impunity.
“This people have no respect for the law. They
have no respect for rules. They think they are
in power to abuse their control of coercive
instruments of power and we should warn
them that impunity has limits. If anything
happens to Tambuwal(Speaker), the whole
world would hold them responsible.
” He(Speaker) was on the list of those to be
taken out by snipers. So, if anything happens
to him, we know that it was done intentionally
so that this will succeed.
“They should look across Burkina Faso and
see what is happening when a government
overstays its welcome or engages in wanton
impunity. They should learn from history. I
think it is very irresponsible on the part of IG
and the government to do that,” El-Rufai said
