How Buhari Made His Govt A Family Business – Junaid Mohammed

President buhari

Chairman of the Relations Committee, Dr Junaid Mohammed has revealed how President Muhammadu Buhari turned his administration into family business.

Junaid in an interview with a popular daily, said that it was shameless, describing it as the worst form of ‘nepotism’ in the history of Nigeria government.

He said: “First, the most influential person in the Presidency today is one Mamman Daura whom as you know, is a nephew of the President. His father was Buhari’s elder brother. In addition, Mamman Daura was the one who single handedly brought up Abba Kyari, the current Chief of Staff to the President. In fact, Abba Kyari knows Mamman Daura more than he knows his own father.

“Next, the Personal Assistant to Buhari himself is the son of Mamman Daura, next is what they call SCOP, State Chief of Protocol, and is also a son-in-law to Mamman Daura because he is married to Mamman Daura’s daughter. Next, the Minister they unilaterally chose, against the interest of the party and against the wishes of Sokoto people, happens to be the daughter of the younger sister of Mamman Daura’s wife.

“We have the Aide De Camp to Buhari himself, Colonel Abubakar. He is married to the granddaughter of one of Buhari’s elder sisters.

“Now, there is a young man called Sabiu Yusuf, nicknamed Tunde – probably because of late General Tunde Idiagbon. He is another PA to President Buhari. He is also a grandson of another sister of Buhari. I have never seen any level of nepotism that has equaled or surpassed this in my entire life – I am now in my 67th year.

“If this is not nepotism, then I don’t know how anybody has the guts, the overconfidence to appoint these relations not worried about public opinion, about the sense of justice, about competence, then you can see that he has a very serious question to answer”.
