A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, has made a controversial claim, alleging that former United States President, Barack Obama orchestrated a “palace coup” against President Joe Biden.
Garba took to his X handle on Thursday to air his allegations, asserting that Obama played a pivotal role in undermining Biden’s candidacy during the Democratic primary election.
According to Garba, Obama “stole” the victory from Biden and facilitated its transfer to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The APC stalwart further suggested that Harris should attribute her resounding defeat in the November 5 presidential election to Obama’s influence.
Garba’s said, “People like former President Barack Obama are those that make black people appear extraordinarily cheap and resentful in the eyes of the world.
“After serving as the President of the greatest country in the world for eight years, Obama still refuses to stop campaigning, being on the frontlines and taking sides. This is contrary to the over 40 men who served as presidents since the office was established in 1789.
“All of them retired, stopped active participation in politics, and became statesmen. Yet Obama chose a different route.
“His lust for power and control is beyond measure. He campaigned for Hilary, but she lost. He had several hidden issues with Biden. Even as his vice, it is on record that Biden and Obama hardly agree on many issues. So Biden was on his terms and won, with slight Obama support.
“Even though he attempted to control the Biden Presidency, but as a veteran of US public service, Biden asked Obama to let him do his Presidency in peace. He had to withdraw and let Biden be.
“As a result, he spearheaded a palace coup against Biden, took over his primary election win and handed over to his girl and protege, Kamala. He campaigned for her vigorously and she also lost.
“Obama thought the presidency is a showbiz. He can always stand up and talk and talk and refuse to stop talking after serving two consecutive terms with the support of American people.
“Obama wants to be a typical sit-tied model of African leaders. Ruling for 8 years and to continue to rule through proxy for subsequent years. All these he lost; in the process, he lost his credibility, his respect and his charisma.
“Tomorrow, if some white people came about and started insulting black people’s leaders for a hardwired-sit-tight to power, giving Obama as a reference, none of us should blame them of racism. Obama was living proof even in the world’s largest democracy.
“To some significant degree, it is the resentment of the Americans, especially the blacks, Hispanics, Asians and other minorities towards Obama that makes Kamala Harris lose with a monumental proportion.
“Obama has done a disservice to his race, his African root and, by extension, his integrity.
“If Kamala is looking for someone to blame for her catastrophic failures, she should point all her ten fingers at Barack Obama.”
