The BBC said President Yar'adua spoke with them via a telephone. Under normal circumstances one would have expected more quality control from the BBC, but no, they chose to place themselves in the middle of a raging civil issue in Nigeria. They forgot that when a bystander pulls a gun in a fight, he is no longer a bystander. He has become an active combatant. I wonder if they wanted us to accept the hoax they perpetrated.
Of course, it is well known that was another hoax by the Yar'adua handlers to hood wink the country into believing that he is recuperating well. Is it not just coincidental that it was on the eve of the civil rights march to the National Assembly? Of course we had been warned 24 hours to the time that they had something for Nigerians and the telephone hoax was it! The question now becomes why did the BBC not insist as a sign of professional etiquette to have a face-to-face interview with the man.Their inability to secure a sit down interview with the man is a sign that all is not well with Mr. President. Someone tried to pull off an elaborate hoax by pretending to be Mallam Yar'adua. That was not he and this will be the second scam in a month from the PDP. First it was the Oluwole budget and now this. I hope they know they will account for their misdeeds some day soon. As if that was not bad enough, the supposed Mr. President chose to talk to only Northern Nigeria. He supposedly granted an interview to BBC Hausa service alone. In other words, the rest of the country that I want to safely assume supposedly voted for him could go to hell. That means the rest of us who do not understand the Hausa language do not count. That means he is the President of Northern Nigeria and the rest of us are just convenient appendages, yet he will not let go of us to find our own.
