and India among other countries to hire marabouts to ensure the

Onochie disclosed this on her Facebook page just as the President’s latest medical vacation entered its second week.
She however did not disclose the identities of the politicians and the pastors she claimed were hired.
The presidential aide said there must be a reason why the politicians did not want to see Buhari in power.
She said that was why they rigged him
out in his first three shots at the Presidency and now they wanted him
dead after he got his victory at the 2015 presidential election with the
support of the card readers introduced by the Independent National
Electoral Commission.

Onochie alleged that before the
election, when it was obvious that Buhari would win, the politicians
“scammed” former President Goodluck Jonathan to postpone the election so
that they could further empty the treasury.

“Transition was a scam. Financial books

Onochie further alleged that the unnamed
politicians had been announcing the President’s death on cloned
websites, therefore raising exaggerated concerns about his health.
