Atiku said Buhari should have been killed for overthrowing a democratically elected government in 1983.
The Waziri of Adamawa, who spoke through his Media Aide, Paul Ibe, was reacting to a remark from Buhari’s campaign spokesperson, Festus Keyamo.
Keyamo had claimed that the former Vice President should have been jailed for corruption if the country’s system was working.
In a statement he issued, Keyamo claimed that Atiku was on the verge of committing suicide.
Reacting to Keyamo’s comment, Ibe, who took to his Twitter handle wrote: “Festus Keyamo should be careful what he brings on himself and APC campaign.
“If Nigeria had a working system, Muhammadu Buhari should have been executed for overthrowing a democratically elected government in 1983.”
Shagari, who won his second term election was, however, overthrown by a coup d’etat that brought in Buhari as Military Head of State.
