COUP: The Northern Leaders Plans InCase Of Buhari-- Afenifere

- A chieftain of Afenifere, Senator Femi Okurounmu, says each time the Hausa-Fulani cabal feel threatened that power might slip from their hands, they think of a coup
- Okurounmu alleges that the coup warning given by the chief of army staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Buratai, was to see how Nigerians would react if there is a coup
- The elder statesman says Nigerians deserve to know the condition of their president's health if they are the ones that elected him as their president
A leader of the of the pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere, Senator Femi Okurounmu, has alleged that northerners were already scheming on how they could retain power in case anything happens to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Femi Okurounmu, in an interview with the Punch, published on Sunday, June 4, said each time the Hausa-Fulani cabal feel threatened that power might slip from their hands, they think of a coup.

Speaking on the backdrop of a recent statement by the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General TY Buratai, that he received information that some individuals have been approaching some officers and soldiers for undisclosed political reasons, the Afenifere leader said the chief of army staff was only flying a kite to see how people will react if there is a coup.
He said: "It is the Hausa-Fulani cabal – each time they feel threatened that power might slip from their hands, they think of a coup. All other coups save for the (Kaduna) Nzeogwu and (Gideon) Orkar coups, were all planned by the northerners.
"They did not want a repeat of what happened during the late President Umaru Yar'Adua when (Goodluck) Jonathan became president. So, they are already preparing to retain the presidency in case anything happens to President Buhari."
Okurounmu stated that Nigerians deserve to know the condition of their president's health if they were the ones that elected him as president.
He said the president's health issue should be of public knowledge because he is no more a private person.
Our reporter learnt that the Afenifere leader also called on Nigerians in the south to exercise their rights as equal citizens with equal rights and stop allowing the northern cabal ride roughshod over them.
Meanwhile, the special assistant to former president Goodluck Jonathan on public affairs has said that it will be wrong for the Acting president Yemi Osinbajo to run for presidency if anything should happen to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Doyin Okupe in an interview with Tribune said the Northern region of Nigeria will feel cheated out if Osinbajo runs for president in 2019.
Citing the case of a former president late Umaru Yar'Adua, Okupe said the northerners are scared that what happened in 2010 after Yar'Adua's death might happen again.
He said every Nigerian and politicians know that although not in the Constitution, Zoning is a major issue which must be adhered to in Nigeria.
Okupe further warned that the northerners are only scared of such happening and thus the agitation for a northern president in 2019.
