TY DANJUMA'S UNTIDY INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST PRESIDENT BUHARI - Maiwada Dammallam

A careful observation of events in the country would reveal a sustained effort by some powerful forces to tarnish the image of President Buhari. Needless to say, the motive is to truncate his 2019 ambition for re-action and allow a corruption-compliant candidate to take over from him and allow the continuation of the "owambe" they know best how to dance.

A recent report revealed that the former Minister of Defence, General TY Danjuma (Rtd) has taken his protest against killings in the North Central region of Nigeria to the United States. One is left wondering what Danjuma is protesting for even if one ignore the logic of carrying his so called "protest" to the USA. Only recently TY Danjuma made weighty allegations against the Nigerian Army which the Army, in the spirit of transparency and out of respect for a retired senior colleague, set up a probe that investigated the allegations and made its findings public.

Funny enough, when the invited TY Danjuma, the author of the allegations, to come and shed more light on the allegations, he simply went missing only to resurface in USA peddling same frivolous lies. I don't want to believe that Danjuma is so senile to grasp that the solution to his real and imaginary problems are here in Nigeria and not in the hands of phantom NGO's domiciled in the USA which, by the way, are mostly business partners to unscrupulous Nigerians or partly sustained with part of loot stolen from Nigeria.

Why was TY Danjuma shy to face the set up by the Army to investigate his allegations yet comfortable fly half across the globe in search of solution for a non-existent problem? That he flies in the comfort of his private jet doesn't make it sensible for an old man like Danjuma to embark on such a long trip for a solution that was placed at his doorsteps by the Nigerian Army. I don't buy it! The motive was to create a phantom image of a crisis-ridden Nigeria just to distract the international community away from the laudable achievements of President Buhari and deny him the he's enjoying from the community.

At his age and status, one could easily assume TY Danjuma is ed the level of resolving conflicts by relying on only one part of the story. Apparently he is not. His absolute silence about the achievements recorded by the Nigerian Army in reducing the capacity of Boko Haram from a formidable force that was in total control of the North East and some parts of the North West, into a decimated force with minimum capacity of attacking only soft targets should expose the mischief in his fake advocacy.

By the way, Danjuma was never in the USA to cry for the killings in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Kano back in the days of the previous istration even when he should know the war against Boko Haram was the biggest business of the time as the $2.3bn arms scandal of the istration has proved beyond reasonable doubt. What are his worries now that the Army is reorganized and reorientated to function professionally and in line with global standards?

That he took Governor Darius, his lapdog, on the trip was another gimmick to give the futile effort some semblance of credibility. I'm sure he will not tell the "Yankees" that Darius was there as a lackey not as an independent participant. Also, he won't tell them that back home in Nigeria, Governor Darius is seen as complicit in the killings he went to USA to blame President Buhari. That Governor Darius, according to findings of the Army , made several attempts to remove the Commanding Officer of 93 Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel IB Gambari from command for his refusal to be dragged into the state politics and, an equally damning report of the Chairman of Takum LGA, Shiban Tikari's several attempts to undermine the authority of the Commanding Officer 93 Bn through some officers of the unit, ordinarily, should be TY Danjuma's worries. If he's a gentleman, he shouldn't delete this evidential narrative from presentation to the international community.

Of course, TY Danjuma isn't aware of a letter written by the Attorney General of Taraba State, Yusufu Akirinkwen, to the state’s Commissioner of Police, Yakubu Babas, asking the police to release suspects in the June 2017 killings in a community in Mambilla, Sardauna Local Government Area of the State, otherwise he wouldn't drag Governor Darius halfway across the globe in a phantom search for a solution the walk around with in their pockets. A significant number of Taraba citizens believe TY Danjuma and Governor Darius are complicit (actively or ively) in the senseless killings being perpetrated in the State. For the two to go to USA to shed crocodile tears defies logic and any sense of reasoning.

The invitation extended to the USA by TY Danjuma to empower civil society to confront atrocities in Nigeria only added another dimension to the mischievous scheme to paint President Buhari black and deny him the benefit of international respect. That the campaign was taken to the USA only exposed a desperation to counter the praises lavished on President Buhari by President Trump. By the way, was Danjuma under the assumption that Trump's acknowledgement of President Buhari's achievements was spontaneous and not arrived at through verifiable, positive and unbiased narratives?

Danjuma's latching on the imaginary credibility of Amnesty International to execute a campaign against President Buhari is the worst assault to the collective sensibility of Nigerians. Like Transparency International, AI has been exposed for the tool it is in the hands of desperate politicians. Countless NGOs including Global Peace and Life Rescue Initiative, Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria, Coalition in Defence of Sovereignty and Human Rights and Save Africa Group and others too numerous to mention had, at different times protested against the continued presence of AI in Nigeria. Of particular interest was the protest by Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria which was to challenge AI for spending a whooping N10bn to sponsor its sinister motive to undermine the nation’s national security and destabilized efforts at eradicating all forms of terror and separatist activities.

No Nigerian would take Amnesty International serious after these allegations. Same goes to Transparency International. TI recently released a report that the war against corruption was neither successful nor sincere. This TI did without acknowledging the hundreds of billions retrieved from people that looted the treasury and without naming a single person arrested or taken to court without reasonable course to so. Just as much, TI failed to mention a single person that is given cover by the istration when there's reasonable ground to process him/her judicially. One should expect an institution like Transparency International not to build opinion on shallow media allegations but, their close association with Obasanjo is enough to say where they are coming from and where they are going.

Amnesty International and other neutral organisations published reports indicting the Nigerian Army of wrong doing. The military denied any allegation against them. What is the credibility of TY Danjuma standing before a set-up by the military.
