‘Northern Clerics Say That Buhari Was Poisoned’- Umar Tata Writes DSS
**Clerics Spreading Lies That Buhari Was
Poisoned’ – Politician Warns DSS.
Umar Tata, a former governorship candidate in
the Katsina, has written an open letter to the
country’s secret police exposing that Muslim
clerics in Northern Nigeria have begun setting
the stage to destabilise Nigeria by telling their
followers that ailing President Muhammadu
Buhari was poisoned.
You may read his open letter, republished
unedited, to the director general of the State
Secret Services, SSS, also known as DSS.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE DG DIRECTORATE OF
STATE SECURITY SERVICES (DSS)
Sir I wish to draw your attention to the new
dangerous twist to the unfortunate sickness of
President Muhammadu Buhari being falsely
perpetrated in our mosques which has the
tendency to create serious anarchy in Katsina
state.
Today Friday 24 February, 2016 at the Izala
mosque, popularly called General Tsiga mosque on
Katsina road in Funtua local government, the Imam,
during the jumuat sermon, apologized to the
congregation for coming late. This, according to
him, was because he was just out of a state
meeting of the Izala sect in Katsina where they
were accordingly informed and directed to inform
all Muslims that the sickness of President Buhari
was as a result of poisoning. According to the
Imam, malam Nasir Abdurrahman, Buhari was
poisoned by those close to him because he has
amassed over N70 trillion and they want to steal it.
To steal it they must kill him and that was why they
poisoned him. This to him could be explained
better by the sudden stoppage of Kano-Katsina
dual carriage way which work stopped since the
president became sick. Malam Nasir continued by
asserting that the same way Tafawa Balewa was
killed was the same way Murtala Mohammed was
killed and is the same way they want to kill
President Buhari.
Enough is enough according to him as we are not
going to accept that. This is the summary of the
message he was directed to convey. I don’t know
if it was the same in all other Izala mosques
across the state, but even if it was not I am scared
of what will happen if we allow this lie and hate
speech in our mosques to go unchecked.
Funtua is a hotbed of radicalism and has always
been the boiling center of religious crises in the
state. In 2011 after the presidential elections that
then GMB lost to Jonathan, innocent Christian lives
were lost and properties worth hundred of millions
were lost. All because of this kind of misleading
sermons by our half literate imams. I had to
confront General Buhari on this and sought for his
participation in my effort at compensating the
Christians who suffered loses as a result of that
post election uprising. He did not come but we still
went ahead to compensate them in our own small
way.
Now we are about to tread the same path all over
again! If Buhari dies today, may Allah do what is
right for him and us, what do you think will
happen? Innocent lives will be made sacrificial
lambs of this loss more so if we consider the fact
that, Prof Osinbajo, a Christian being the VP is the
constitutional beneficiary of whatever outcome from
this debacle. Are we going to allow this to happen.
I think people of conscience owe it a duty not to
be silent in the face of this madness. Malam Nasir
should tell us who poisoned President Buhari so
that the law should take its natural course if he
fails to do that he should be arrested and
prosecuted for incitement.
How can somebody who has amassed N70 trillion
want to borrow N17 trillion for which the National
Assembly is yet to grant him that approval? Who is
the fool here? They have lied to us in 2015 telling
us that Buhari is superior to God and now that he
is discovered to be human they want to make him
God all over again! No way!
They have never shown us love, care or concern
under this regime for all the hardship wrought on
the common man and they now want to lead
innocent souls to death and destruction. We will
not allow that. We have been misled far too much
for far too long and it is time to expose these
people for what they are, cheats and liers that think
we are dumb.
If you do the right thing to nip this in the bud fine;
if you do not, let it be on record that I have
reported to you my fears.
Thank you very much!
Umar Tata
