Probe Adisa's death, Afonja Descendants charges Buhari
The Afonja Descendants Union (ADU) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to extend the planned probe of politically-motivated killings in the country to the death of former Minister of Works, Gen. AbdulKareem Adisa.
At a media briefing today in Ogbomoso, Chairman of the Union, Alhaji Olola Kasumu, said the probe became necessary due to the mysterious circumstances that led to the death of the retired general.
Recalling how the former Minister of Works passed on, Kasunmu said: "General Adisa travelled to Kogi State, from Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, where he attended the burial ceremony of retired General David Jemibewon's mother. While returning, he died under circumstances that were mysterious."
Kasumu stated that the people of Kwara State in general and the Afonja Descendants in particular would be grateful to the Buhari-led administration if the death of the two-star general could be probed.
He further advised President Buhari to be decisive in the handling of the crisis in the Senate, saying nothing short of standing firm against the alleged forgeries of the Senate rules would be acceptable.
He noted, "Most Ilorin people are of the conviction that the President is under spell not to deal with Dr. Saraki. How can the President fight corruption with corrupt lawmakers as leaders of the Senate? Somebody committed impunity by turning over the Senate rules, which is a criminal offence.
"Can impunity be fought with impunity? President Buhari appears too slow and is like a dormant lion which must be woken up, otherwise the government will cease from him. For the President not to act fast on the Senate leadership crisis is like sitting on a keg of gun powder."
