Vgr of Nigeria’s Democracy, a civil rights
group, has alleged that President Muhammadu
Buhari is making secret moves to arrest ex-
president, Goodluck Jonathan.

The group stated that Buhari plans to “investigate,
malign and imprison” Jonathan on fabricated
charges.

The VND particularly blamed the president and his
All Progressives Congress (APC) government for
“unsavoury and patently repugnant action,” which it
said, were anti-Niger Delta and against the Ijaw
ethnic nationality.

The group said former the president was the target
of the controversy about some supposed missing
funds from the country’s treasury during the term of
the immediate past administration.

In response to this development, Femi Adesina,
Buhari’s spokesperson asked why people would
worry on speculations when nothing concrete had
been brought against Jonathan.

He said: “All these are speculations and I cannot
react to speculations because there is nothing
concrete yet against the former President.”
Osaghae Ogiemudia, the leader of the group in a
statement said that anti-Niger Delta and anti-Ijaw
posturing of the APC administration of had been
shown in different ways.

Ogiemudia said: “We, the members of the Vanguards
of Nigeria’s Democracy, are aware of some
clandestine moves made by the APC-led government
to probe, investigate, malign and imprison ex
President Jonathan. We are already aware of the
trumped-up charges the APC government is leveling
against a man who has diligently served the Nigerian
state at the highest level of government.

“The APC led government should take notice that the
appointments made so far are skewed in favour of
the North, as no Ijaw man has been appointed. While
an Ijaw President did not discriminate in
appointment, President Buhari is implementing a
Northern agenda through some of the
appointments.”

It should be noted that Sambo Dasuki, who was
recently put under home arrest by SSS operagtives,
said that the security agency is desperate to implicate
him in supposed security breaches, saying his ordeal
was a case of witch-hunt.

Sambo Dasuki is a former National Security Adviser,
who was fired on July 13, Moday, and just a day after,
security agents besieged his residence.
