Naja’atu Muhammad, the former APC presidential campaign council’s head of the civil society organisations directorate, says President Muhammadu Buhari is only interested in enjoying the perks that come with the presidency and being called the president but not ready for the actual work of presiding over the affairs of Nigeria.
He described Buhari as a figurehead and insouciant ruler who has put Yusuf ‘Tunde’ Sabiu, his nephew, at Nigeria’s helm of affairs.
She asserted that Buhari is totally indifferent to the parlous state of the nation and does not care about.
She made the assertion in a THISDAY interview published on Wednesday.
“In the first place, Buhari does not care about anything. He had never cared. He doesn’t care about the country, nor is he really in charge. He has thrown the country to the dogs. He has a prime minister in the name of his nephew—grand nephew Tunde,” said Muhammad “Whether we want to believe it or not, Tunde is the de facto president.”
“I know that even the service chiefs report to him. Tunde is Sabiu. Do you know him?” He’s called Tunde because he was named after Tunde Idiagbon,” she stated.
Recall that Muhammad, a board member of the Police Service Commission, had told DCL Hausa that APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu might be battling severe dementia, identified by memory loss which also results in loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment.
The former APC chieftain shift her focus to Buhari, castigating the former military dictator as an heartless and aloof president. She also accused the governor of deliberately turning a blind eye to corruption allegations brought to his attention.
“On a few occasions when I had cause to see the president, I had given him in black and white some of the atrocities that are taking place in terms of corruption (and) theft of billions of naira. All he does is frown, and that’s the end of it. He doesn’t care. Sometimes, he tells you, ‘I don’t know’,” Ms Muhammad revealed. “But how do you know? How do you know if you don’t want to know? He doesn’t want to know. He doesn’t care.” she said
