Kaduna—A member of the extended family of President Umaru Yar’Adua, Hajia Binta Kuraje, yesterday rose in strong defence of her brother, for the first time, describing those calling for the resignation of the ailing President as corrupt.
Speaking on behalf of the family, in Kaduna, she lashed at the anti-Yar’Adua forces, explaining that they were opposed to the Federal Government’s anti-graft war.
Meantime, textile workers in the country have said the best way to sympathise with Yar’Adua is for governors and ministers to work hard to realise his promise of providing social amenities for the people and not to form cults of prayer warriors or junketing to Saudi Arabia where he is hospitalised
Binta, an ex-women leader of the Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organisation, also expressed bitterness with such agitators, assuring that Yar’Adua will soon bounce back stronger to resume the leadership of the country.
She said those agitating for Yar’Adua’s resignation should also think about the need for the sustenance of democracy in the country.
According to her, the life of any human being is in the hands of the Almighty God who is the author of life and death, stressing that Yar’Adua’s style of leadership can’t be “changed by anyone.
“The President has the ability and capacity to lead the country for another 16 years.” (assuming the constitution allows it.)
