Buhari's Kinsmen Takes Over Aso Rock-Junaid mohammmed by AraduF90(m): 1:19pm On Jul 05, 2016
BUHARI’S BROTHERS AND
SISTERS HAVE TAKEN
OVER ASO ROCK, GOVT.-
JUNAID MOHAMMED
REVEALS


Dr. Junaid Mohammed, a second Republic
politician, and one of those who said so many vile
things about ex Presidenmt Goodluck Jonathan,
has said relatives of President Muhammadu
Buhari are in charge of policies in the Presidential
villa and the by implication, the Nigeria state.
Mohammed a Hong Kong trained surgeon had
told Pointblanknews.com weeks before the
presidential election “he (Buhari) does not have
the required qualities to be President in a Nigeria
of the 21st century. I will not support a leader
based on mob sentiment. if they say that Buhari
is the voice of the Talakawa, how does he relate
to the Talakawa?”
The academic, in an interview in Kano, outlined
the ingredients a prospective Nigeria’s president
should have and insisted that his close
associate, Buhari, does not possess those
ingredients.
“When I look for a political leader, I want to be
comfortable with the people who are surrounding
him—a people of intellects, integrity and sound
education. People who can be judged by their
previous performances in previous roles. Now,
these are judgments I have to make, and I
believe, the judgments Nigerians have to make.”
Buhari had come under sundry flak for his style of
appointments to key positions. Most troubling are
those in charge of security, military and
law enforcement, who are predominatly from one
section of Nigeria.
Junaid in a recent chat said Buhari’s relatives are
the ones dictating policy in Aso Rock for 170
million Nigerians, adding nepotism to the
festering allegation of narrow mindedness levelled
against the president, who critics say surrounds
himself with Northerners in running national
affairs.
Mohammed, radical politician and Second
Republic lawmaker, named at least seven relatives
of the president who are the power behind the
throne in the Villa – apart from the heads of all
vital security agencies who are from the from the
North.
In a recent telephone interview with
TheNiche.com from his base in Kano, Mohammed
accused Buhari of giving key positions to his
cousins, nephews, and in-laws, and is therefore
guilty of the corruption he is trying to fight.
Mohammed, a virulent critic of former President
Goodluck Jonathan, and originally a supporter of
Buhari, said nepotism compromises Buhari’s
ability to rule the country well, fight corruption,
and deal with rogue lawmakers who pose a threat
to his administration.
His words: “As far as I am concerned, nothing
will come by way of contention with the National
Assembly (NASS) and the executive branch,
because both of them have a mindset which is
completely antithetical to democracy.
“Both the president, particularly his principal
adviser, his nephew, one nonentity called
Mamman Daura; then the Chief of Staff [Abba
Kyari], who in fact was brought up by Mamman
Daura; and the scoundrel who is the Secretary to
the Government of Federation [Babachir David],
including most of the incompetent ministers, are
not cut out to work harmoniously in a political
environment with the legislature.
“On the legislative side, they want to continue
business as usual; that will mean impunity,
blackmail, open corruption to extort money from
ministries, departments and agencies of federal
and state governments, because they did not
come into politics to serve.
“They came to make money. That is the basic
fact.
“You can see why it is impossible for anybody,
no matter how reasonable, to work with the
National Assembly, especially the Senate, because
unless you are prepared to open up the national
treasury and offer it to them, there is going to be
no peace between the executive branch and them.
“And of course, there is the unfortunate, additional
bad luck of Buhari being surrounded by his own
relations who are not politicians. They are
not even members of the APC (All Progressives
Congress) but dictate policy, especially Mamman
Daura. So I can see no peace, I can see no
cooperation, and God save Nigeria.”
Mohammed said Buhari must apply the law
equitably and justly in his fight against corruption
and insurgents such as Boko Haram and Niger
Delta Avengers (NDA).
“He has to do that, and listen more to Nigerians,
and not this arrogant posture, and the crooks he
appointed into cabinet.
“But unfortunately, for the country and for
Buhari’s legacy himself, he has packed the
government, and especially the Presidency, which
is really the centre of power, and made it top
heavy with his own relations.
“There are many people who are his own cousins
in the Presidency. In my own understanding of
history and politics, this is what you call
nepotism. And if you are against corruption, you
cannot be nepotistic.
“So it is really a contradiction for Buhari to have,
for example a nephew of his, the son of his elder
sister as the Minister of Water Resources
[Hadi Sirika].
“He has another niece of his, the elder sister of
[Sirika], who is now a national commissioner in
the INEC (Independent National Electoral
Commission), Amina Zakari.
“They are trying to bury their tracks. But Buhari
nominated her even before he became president
when Jonathan asked him to nominate somebody
to represent the North West (in INEC) and he
chose that woman.
“And then this nonentity, Mamman Daura, virtually
runs the government. He has a veto power. There
have been instances when Buhari gave written
approval for things to be done, and that man went
and stymied, threw the paper away.
“He has become such a tyrant in the Presidency.
He is a nephew to Buhari. His father is the elder
brother of Buhari, even though the (age)
difference between them is about three years, his
father is an elder brother to Buhari and they grew
up together.
“[Abba Kyari] was brought up by Mamman Daura.
His father left him with Mamman Daura to go to
Borno, his original state where he was a village
head.
“And for all intents and purposes, he is a son of
Mamman Daura. He is now the chief of staff to
Buhari. His name is Abba Kyari.
“Then [Kabir Daura] the personal assistant to
Buhari himself, is the son of Mamman Daura.
“And the girl [Aisha Abubakar] who was picked
out of nowhere from Sokoto. She is not a
member of the APC. She has nothing to do with
anybody.
“She was picked and made a minister by
Mamman Daura and Buhari because her mother is
Buhari’s sister”
