President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Mrs. Lauretta Onochie has provided reasons she believes some people are praying for President Muhammadu Buhari to die.

Mrs. Onochie was once quoted as saying some people hired marabouts and pastors to pray that the President should die. 

Asked what she thinks could make people to go that length in seeking the death of their president, Lauretta told Punch, “Selfish interest. Some people may be standing trial.

“They are those who held sway and squandered our national wealth or arrogated them to themselves and their families alone.

“So the easiest thing for them to do will be, if they cannot lay their hands on the President to strangle him, the best thing is to do some spiritual things in order to get him out of the way so that the corruption that Nigerians hate will continue, so that the nepotism that has pushed us back will continue; so that tribalism and all the evils this government is trying to fight can continue.

“But God who brought President Buhari and gave Nigerians the wisdom and courage to vote out the government that held sway over the looting of our common treasury, that same God is going to see our nation through.”
