Sam Nda-Isaiah stated:
The time.President Umaru Yar’Adua got terminally ill and it became apparent that the worst might happen, and fearing that the North was in disarray, and to avoid making the mistake of choosing a vice president without capacity when the inevitable finally happened, Abba Kyari and I decided to meet General TY Danjuma to convince him to chair a meeting of a select group of serious senior northerners to shortlist names of a possible vice president. “M. Abba went to Kaduna to inform GMB, M. Mamman, Dr Tukur, M. Ahmed Joda and a few others. While in Kaduna, he informed M. Mamman first about the proposed meeting. Almost without thinking, M. Mamman said there was no need for such a meeting. The best thing that could happen to the North was for Gen. Danjuma himself to agree to be vice president. Dr. Tukur also said exactly the same thing. Except that he added that the only problem was that TY would say “rainin ya yi yawa!” — roughly translated, it means that TY would say the insult was too much to ask him to be vice president to Jonathan.[12]
He made a statements for President Olusegun Obasanjo:
Nigeria is probably the only country in the whole world where you would catch a thief and he would take you to court. I remember, in 2002, when the then President Olusegun Obasanjo took me to court over a piece I wrote in the Daily Trust in which I insinuated that his son Gbenga, like Mohammed, the late General Sani Abacha's son, was engaged in several government businesses and that if Obasanjo was going to keep Mohammed in detention, then it would only be a matter of time before Gbenga got his own prison experience too and Exactly One Year Ago... This is to the memory of Senators Sule Yari Gandi and Badamasi Maccido, who perished exactly a year ago today, together with Sultan Muhammadu Maccido and several others in an ADC air crash. They both lived public lives worthy of emulation. We shall continue to remember them even as we continue to pray for the repose of their souls. Writing in 2002.[13]
