What OBJ Told Buhari @ Council Of State Meeting

Until not too long ago when he attended the Council of State meeting which held at Abuja, General Buhari had never attended any Council of State meeting, not since the 2003 elections. Whatever it was that pushed him there, we are sure Buhari must have regretted it given the way he was addressed by the kampeism exponent; Baba Iyabo.

As we told, everybody was already seated in the Council waiting for Baba Iyabo. When he got in, he went round shaking all in attendance one after the other. He deliberately left Buhari for last. When he got to him, Baba Iyabo stretched out his hand to shake him. Buhari at this point was probably thinking it was going to be lovey-dovey. He was dead wrong! OBJ gripped his hand and talking in a very loud voice said “Ah Buhari you have come for meeting today because election is near… let me tell you, you see that chair? (pointing to the Presidential seat) You will smell it but you will never sit on it”. Buhari did not know if he was to break out in laughter or tears. Done OBJ turned round, “oya somebody say the opening prayers”.
