Mr. Obadiah Mailafia, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) between 2005 - 2007, is accusing President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling party of blackmailing him with an incident that happened in the Bank several years ago.
Mailafia, in a stinging accusation, said he was forced to leave his party - African Democratic Congress (ADC)- for the APC days before the 2019 general elections with his blackmailers inciting security agancies to threaten him over an infraction that happened in a department in the Bank that he was not a part of.
He alleged that they promised him pardon if he yielded and crossed over to the governing party.
He opened up to journalists about the incident in Abuja Tuesday at the ADC's national secretariat in Abuja.
He said “Just before the elections, there were pressures on me and I was even interrogated by security agencies over something that
happened in the CBN about 10 years ago which was not even in my department.
“They blackmailed me that if I joined APC, I would be forgiven. I told them, why can’t they join me? I even asked them why can’t President
Muhammadu Buhari come and join my party, ACD? What does he have that I don’t have more than him? Is it their analogue generation that will save Nigeria? Somebody that has never even used a computer. What have they to offer Nigeria again?”
Speaking on the P&ID court verdict, the presidential candidate of ADC in the 2019 election warned that if care was not taken, it would put
Nigeria in a big mess.
He said: “The P&ID is a judicial scam of the highest order and it has been orchestrated by international forces that want to destroy our
country. They did it in conspiracy with some high-powered Nigerians and it is very shameful.”
