Kanunta Kanu Reacts: ‘Buhari’s Death Proves the Cabal’s Endgame

In a move that reopens old wounds and conspiracy theories, Kanunta Kanu brother to the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu reacted sharply to the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, suggesting that both the inner political cabal and the British government have exhausted their grip on Nigeria’s political narrative.

His statement follows Sunday’s announcement by Buhari’s former aide, Garba Shehu, confirming that the ex-president passed away in a London clinic after battling an undisclosed illness. But for Kanunta and many within the pro-Biafra movement, this is not new information it’s closure to a chapter they claim began unraveling in 2018.

Back in 2017, Buhari’s extended medical absence in the UK gave rise to theories spearheaded by Nnamdi Kanu that a body double named Jubril from Sudan had replaced the president. Despite Buhari himself dismissing those rumors as “ignorant lies,” the theory found fertile ground in a nation marked by political opacity and elite dominance.

Now, as the news of Buhari’s passing reverberates across the nation, Kanunta’s comments aren’t just about a man they’re about a system.

“This isn’t about Buhari dying twice. It’s about Nigerians being lied to twice and still hoping for truth,” says Chidi Uwakwe, a Lagos-based civil rights blogger.

Key Outcomes:

• Kanunta Kanu reignites the controversial “Jubril from Sudan” narrative, claiming Buhari’s death confirms long-held suspicions of deceit by political elites and foreign interests.
• Public distrust in government transparency remains high, with renewed debates around foreign influence, elite cabals, and the credibility of Nigeria’s state institutions.

Tgpbaze Editorial Voice:
In a country where silence often follows scandal, the timing of truth—real or perceived is as political as the lie. Whether history absolves or indicts those behind the curtain, one thing remains constant: Nigerians are still searching for leaders they can believe in.
