Minister of State for Petroleum
Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu has debunked reports that he cleared the bill for
the medical treatment of the president’s son, Yusuf Buhari.
Yusuf was flown abroad for
further treatment after he and his friend, Bashir Gwandu, were severely injured
along Gwarimpa road in Abuja on December 26, 2017.
Yusuf, who returned to the
country last week, was initially admitted at Cedarcrest Hospital, Abuja.
Reacting to news that he funded
the cost of the foreign trip and treatment, Kachikwu maintained his detractors
were behind the claim.
He said it was the same persons
who have been saying that he had intention to run for governor in his home
state, Delta that was behind the rumour.
“When you add these developments together,
then you can see my stand that it is pointless debating with people, who
delight in lowly fantasy. They cannot transcend the unfortunate stations of
pulling others down”, he told Thisday.
“Theirs is not to add value but
connive with the dissidents of the society to destroy ideas that are
development-focused and minds that are progressively sculpted. I do not belong
to that class and will therefore not be seen as joining issues with them”.
On his alleged political
ambition, Kachikwu said: “I have refuted this story time and time again, and
for the umpteenth time, I want to place it on the record that stories about my
governorship bid are sponsored to achieve whatever result.
“But the truth is that such
stories have nothing to do with me as a person and even curious is that the
peddlers are very consistent, meaning it is a calculated falsehood being sold
to the public.
“I might not have a grasp of why
they are doing this, it is not totally true, however that I do not have a clue
why they are traveling this route. Unfortunately, it is cheap and undeserving
of my precious time.
“That I am denying it again does
not mean in another one month or two, they would still not dust the story up
again, modulate and spin it from yet another angle.
“What this means is that those
behind the stories are not just idle, they are clearly people of small minds,
who have nothing productive and engaging to do but have elected to be canon
fodders in the hands of equally feeble minds to fester whatever sinister plans
they have.”
