He said this in a chat with DAILY POST Sunday night in reaction to the recording aired on Sunday by some radio stations, including the BBC.
The presidency had released the audio to debunk reports that Buhari is suffering from speech impairment.
But the former presidential spokesman accused Buhari’s handlers of taking Nigerians for a ride.
“Like I wrote in my latest essay published on your website, Nigeria is not a free nation.
The essay asked some fundamental questions and the the truth is that Hausa/Fulani control this country.
Every body knows the recording is not the president’s voice. We are firmly in the grip of dictatorship.
They are on top of the pyramid, the rest of us are slaves. God forbid that Nigeria continue like this, we must free ourselves.”
Fani-Kayode added that the “strategy gone wrong” voice message was the same handlers of late President Yar’Adua used when he was very ill in Saudi Arabia.
“This is just like the one Yar’Adua purportedly had with BBC. They were trying to make us believe it was him.
It was an extensive interview which at the end of the day, turned out wasn’t Yar’Adua’s voice.
We are seeing the same pattern again. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry and I don’t know whether I am witnessing a comedy show.
“I speak from an informed position and I can tell you clearly and categorically that the person who spoke was not President Buhari.
“Those behind this scam are very insensitive and they have the IQ of a monkey.
“The person spoke in Hausa because it is what they consider as the official language of Nigeria. They couldn’t even communicate in English.
“Can you imagine President Obasanjo or President Jonathan sending a Christmas or Eid message to the nation in Yoruba or Ijaw language?
“The whole thing is a fraud and a lie. There is no reason why the Nigerian people should not know the truth about the condition of the president.
“The cabal doesn’t own him; he’s our president. He has been away for 50 days now in a stretch and that by any standard is not acceptable.
“I urged the people to demand that the president be made to resign; that all powers be taken from him and transferred to the acting president.
“And those around Osinbajo should allow him act as president not as coordinator. We need direction and leadership now; not fake recordings in Hausa language.”
*I am with the former Minister on this one..something doesnt feel right.Even comedians can mimic the presidents voice na...
I listened to the goodwill message AIT yesterday and I just felt that 'something' isn't just right with it.
ReplyDeleteI detest lies and then all these 'cover up'? To what end?
Now I feel nothing but pity for Mr PMB, still wishing him a quick recovery.
Hahaha.. @Femi, just leave them
ReplyDeleteWe know what's up

Galore, somebody is shouting on fb. Pls kindly go shut her up.
DeleteBut inlaw I am fine with their scam, buhari can nationalise in UK hospital,his absence is the best thing that can happen to Nigeria. That man is a disaster
ReplyDeleteNigeria is just a BIG JOKE
DeleteWith the power of technology now, everything can cloned...i don't believe in the the authenticity of that record, how can he addressed us in Hausa tongue? Are we that daft as Nigerians?
ReplyDeleteExactly the same thing I said. I get he is trying to address Muslims who are fasting but not all Muslims are hausas. We have a lot of Yoruba Muslims who don't even understand hausa.
DeleteAnd he had other good will message he addressed the nation. Why address us in hausa. Are we all suppose to understand that?
Loolz @IQ of a monkey. This man must use abusive words sha. This was exactly the topic of discussion on wazobia radio station this early morning. People were calling in and complaining bitterly. Nawaaa! Gbammest @his second to the last and last paragraph! Supported wallahi. Habaaa!*phew*
ReplyDeleteI love you Sandy. Can we be friends already? I stay in Abj.
DeleteSomeone said, Buhari sends voice message in Hausa you people are crying everywhere! Next time he will send sign languages to you people...
ReplyDeleteThis is Government of the North, by the North and for the North. Hausa is the new English...
Thank you.
Delete@St FranKool...U don't mean it..Hahahahaha..The sign language part got tom me..#Naija my kwantiri
DeleteI agree with FFK, some Nigerians are not fool, they cabals in aso rock should stop playing with Nigerians. If they want to play their game let them play with hausa people because some of them does not have common sense. Buhari should address Nigerians if he is still alive.
ReplyDeleteAPC and wayo is like bread and butter. Party built on lies
ReplyDeleteI wish PMB well where he is.Let Ag Oshinbajp continue and God will see him through.
ReplyDeleteAnother onukwu somebody @ Davies
DeleteSending greetings to a COUNTRY in HAUSA? if that isnt a National embarrasment, what is please... How drunk in power do people get?
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteWhere is the movement you have started for this Stella,Where is the hashtag tell us the truth. We all made so much noise with Olowogbogboro,but nothing about our immediate situation. You have the platform for checks and balances,u have the reach to demand justice and have people follow you what have you done with it. This is not the time to speak about Evans this is the time for all of us as Nigerians to demand Good Governance or ask them to go. It is our right. Stella and other Influencers stop hidding in diaspora. Speak. Live and Let live. Even God will hold us all accountable for wateva becomes of this country if our children witness any of this looming terror.
ReplyDeleteThis cabal is just perfecting their strategy to strengthen their hold on the Hausa and further weaken the "coordinating " VP.
ReplyDeleteImagine what will happen in the north if they hear that Buhari is dead.
Only God can help us in this country.
