Why Babangida Removed Me From Power – Buhari Reveals 31-year-old Secret

President Muhammadu Buhari

In an exclusive interview published in the current edition of The
Interview magazine, Buhari challenged Babangida and Gusau, to tell the
truth on why they carried out the coup against him.
“I learnt,” he said, “that Aliyu Gusau, who was in charge of
intelligence, took import licence from the Ministry of Commerce which
was in charge of supplies and gave it to Alhaji Mai Deribe.
“It was worth N100,000, a lot of money at that time. I confronted
them and took the case to the Army Council in a memo…I wanted Gusau
punished.”

In a statement on www.theinterview.com.ng, the Managing
Director/Editor-in-chief of The Interview, Azu Ishiekwene, said, “This
is one edition that won’t let sleeping dogs lie.”
Babangida had told The Interview in its December edition that there
was nothing in the memo which Buhari said he submitted to the Army
Council.

“Don’t forget that I was one of Buhari’s closest aides. I was the
chief of army staff. So, I had an important position, an important role
to play in that administration. I don’t think it had to do with a memo,”
Babangida said.

But in a tone which revealed that the past might neither have been
forgotten nor forgiven, Buhari challenged Babangida and Gusau to come
clean on why they removed him, asking The Interview to choose whose
story to believe.

He also fielded questions about his health, the 2016 budget, the pace
of his government, former President Goodluck Jonathan and why Mr.
Babatunde Raji Fashola was handed three ministerial portfolios.
The edition also features interviews with Liberian presidential
hopeful, Mr. Winston Tubman, and retired Justice Dahiru Saleh, the
controversial judge whose court nailed June 12.

And in an interview which indicates that the battle for 2019 could be
well and truly underway, pharmacist and Rotarian, Dr. Mike Omotosho,
aims at the Kwara State government house.
His roadmap would give rivals sleepless nights.
