Buhari Rejects Politicians Seeking Top Appointments by Timbi: 7:26pm On Apr 15, 2015
General Muhammadu Buhari has
allegedly rejected advances by top serving
officials who have been flocking into his
house in Daura, Katsina allegedly lobbying for
positions in his administration.
Nigeria Bulletin reports quoting Per Second
news “Buhari was enraged when “the
current Comptroller-General of Customs,
Abdullahi Dikko Inde, visited his residence
in Daura to pay homage last week.”
General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde
Per Second News also learnt that the customs
boss who coincidentally hails from, Musawa
Local Government Area, Katsina state
immediately after informing the President-Elect
of his mission was advised to go back to his
duty post.
Dikko, shocked by Buhari’s response. He tried
unsuccessfully to inform the retired General of
the situation at all Nigeria’s borders, seaport
and the airports, but the President-elect
upbraided the 55 year-old that the ideal
procedure is to wait until he has been sworn in
as president, describing the visit as unhealthy,
unethical and disloyalty to a government he is
still serving.

He thereafter asked the customs boss to leave
his residence, rejecting also his gift items. The
Comptroller general and his team hurriedly left
the residence, parking the valuables and gifts
items along.
There have been reports that top government
officials serving under President Goodluck
Jonathan are scared that Buhari will come
after them when he assumes office due to their
corrupt nature.
Buhari meanwhile has stated that he will not
be probing government officials who have been
accused of embezzling funds when he
assumes office.
One such official, Mrs Diezani Alison-
Madueke, who is minister of petroleum
resources has been reported to be seeking
asylum in foreign nations due to fears that
Buhari will come after her. She has rejected
such claims though.
