“There was never a time I referred to Mr President or anybody wearing a hat as evil. What I
actually said was that President Jonathan has tightened the umbrella until he made a hat that only fits him and few others.” the governor said.
“My good friends Rotimi Amaechi and Peter Odili as well as other Nigerians from the South-South wear hats and are also good people,” Kwankwaso stressed.
Furthermore, the governor faulted media reports asserting that he referred to the Secretary to the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim and Vice President, Namadi Sambo as vultures. According to him, the men are his good friends.
“The vultures I was referring to are the three governors who were present at the President’s Kano visit and Godswill Akpabio is one of them. He wants to be anointed presidential candidate if Jonathan fails to get the ticket, while between the remaining two, one would be made the vice president and other, secretary to the federation.”
He stated that “Mr. President has deliberately misused the party machinery to serve his own private sentiments and favour those he feels are his kinsmen.”
