– Dr Junaid Mohammed has cast some
aspersion on the Buhari-led government.

– Mohammed say there is great nepotism in
the the APC-led administration.

– The ex-Joint House Leader of the defunct
Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) sppoke on
the ills in the Nigerian government
A chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, and member of the Defence
Committee in the second republic, Dr Junaid
Mohammed has said that there is a group
wielding power within President Buhari’s
administration.

In a recent interview with The Punch, Dr
Mohammed reacted to talks about a cabal
hijacking the presidency, a charge the
presidency has denied.
Mohammed said: “Let me say straight away
that whether one calls it a cabal or a mafia
or some kind of cult or whatever, there is a
group of people who are wielding power
within the presidency under Buhari. Whatever
you say it is; it is and a lot worse.
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.
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. Both of them are
daughters of Sultan Dasuki, who was sacked
by General Abacha.
We have the Aide De Camp to Buhari himself,
Colonel Abubakar. He is married to the
granddaughter of one of Buhari’s elder
sisters.
Next we have the woman who represents
Kaduna in the Federal Executive Council, she
is a cousin to Kaduna State governor, Nasir
el-Rufai.
It is well known that el-Rufai is one of the
closest governors to Muhammadu Buhari.
Next, we have the Minister for the Federal
Capital Territory.
The Minister of the FCT is the man called
Musa Bello, who used to be the Managing
Director of the Northern Nigeria Development
Corporation, which used to be the biggest
holding company that belonged to all the
northern states.
His only qualification to be FCT minister is
the fact that his father has been Buhari’s
friend over the years.
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.
This is enough to prove to you that this is
shamelessly the worst form of nepotism in
the history of government in Nigeria.
In fact, in the history of Africa, let me make
bold to assert that I have never seen any
level of nepotism that has equalled or
surpassed this in my entire life – I am now in
my 67th year.
Another thing I also want you to know is
that, Amina Zakari, who was and still a
national commissioner in the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC)
representing the entire seven states in the
North-West.
It is being claimed that Buhari knows nothing
about her appointment (before he became
President), it is a lie. When President
Goodluck Jonathan was re-organising the
INEC and he was bringing in Prof Attahiru
Jega, he reached out to Buhari and asked
Buhari to nominate somebody from the
North-West so that that person would be a
national commissioner.
Of all the people in the North-West, Buhari
decided to nominate his own niece, the
daughter of his elder sister- Amina Zakari.
She has been there; when Jega left, Buhari
was determined to make her chairman, it was
because of the massive backlash that he
dropped the idea like hot potatoes.
As we are talking today, that woman is a
national commissioner which means she is
one of the principal election umpires.

read his new offence
Throughout my reading of history, political
science and social sciences generally, I have
never heard of any dictator or any tyrant
under any system of government whether
totalitarian or fascist, appointing his own
niece to conduct elections in which he was
either a party or going to be a party to;
Buhari has done that.
The immediate younger brother to Amina
Zakari is currently the Minister for Water
Resources representing Jigawa State in the
same Buhari government.
In addition, even though they are from
Kazaure, Kazaure is contiguous to Daura. The
eldest sister of both of them is now the
Commissioner for Education in the All
Progressives Congress government in Jigawa
state.
If this is not nepotism, then I don’t know
what is nepotism and anybody who has the
guts, the brutal arrogance to appoint these
relations not bothering about public opinion,
about the sense of justice, about competence,
then you can see that he has a very serious
question to answer. There are two
mysterious cases.
Dr Mohammed went on to speak on the
mysterious cases saying: “The case of the
Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin
Emeifele and the Minister of State for
Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu.
It was Buhari himself who said that he knew
when the governor of the CBN picked a piece
of paper and gave an instruction that N14bn
should be withdrawn from the CBN and that
money was withdrawn.
That was nearly a year ago and up till today,
Buhari is still retaining Emefiele as CBN
governor.
The Buhari I know is an economic illiterate
and anybody who knows anything about
currency movement and foreign exchange
and fluctuations knows that the Naira has
been effectively devalued.
It was the same Buhari who boasted that the
Naira would never be devalued under him for
as long as he remains President and even
threatened the governor of the CBN that he
was going to sack him if he devalued the
Naira.
He (CBN governor) is still there. In the case
of Kachikwu, he is the mystery man in the
cabinet.
No one can actually tell you who nominated
and brought in Kachikwu. We knew that he
was friends with Abba Kyari when they both
worked in Mobil but none of them had the
influence to bring him in and make him
Minister of Petroleum Resources.
Forget the nonsense about him being the
junior minister because he is the senior and
junior minister in addition to being the
Managing Director of the NNPC (until recently
when he was replaced.
This again confirms the arrogance of
President Buhari in putting two positions
together; one purely civil service and
technocratic position which is the Group
Managing Director of the NNPC and the other
one which is purely political- a minister.
What is wrong with the President merging
these portfolios in the light of the
administration’s desire to cut the cost of
running government…?
Since this man became minister, there has
been nothing good coming out of the oil
industry rather than confusion, crisis and
corruption.
That again is an indication of the decadence
we have in this government. People who are
being accused and arrested for corruption as
it should be, we are also aware that some of
these cases that the DSS is getting involved
in are shady because they have no experience
whatsoever in prosecution.
That is why from the famous case of Farouk
Lawal, a former member of the House of
Representatives who was involved in getting
money and putting it under his cap and what
have you which was captured on camera.
They arrested that man; it was a clear cut
case long before Buhari became President.
Till today, the DSS has not been able to
prosecute Farouk Lawan. He is still sitting at
home; his house is about 200 metres from
my house.
That shows you that when you hear that the
DSS is arresting somebody for corruption, it
is clearly political and maybe there is money
or corruption involved.
We also know that there are people from
within the DSS from the very top who are
even threatening that they will soon arrest
the Chairman of the EFCC and the National
Security Adviser.”
The ex-Joint House Leader of the defunct
Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) said: “The
main reason is these people have refused to
cooperate with them: Mamman Daura, Abba
Kyari and the DG DSS, who is also part of
the Daura cabal they want to take over the
anti-corruption war so that it will be under
their hand and they can cut deals and render
the anti-corruption war useless.
I know who they propose to take over, it
didn’t work. I think Buhari resisted- which is
miracle. They are now proposing somebody.
The person who they proposed was a retired
DIG, he, myself and Magu (current EFCC
boss) had worked in Port Harcourt during my
years in OMPADEC. Now they are thinking of
a retired Commissioner of Police. The only
qualification they are looking for is someone
who can be controlled by them. This is the
situation we find ourselves.
In the light of what you have said, what
would you say has changed in government?
I will put it this way, we have exchanged one
thoroughly corrupt government for one that
pretends to be honest and is doing an honest
job while in reality, it is business as usual.

It is clear to all except zombies that this administration don't mean well for all. Just a section of the country.

Reporter. In the light of what you have said, what would you say has changed in government? – Dr Junaid Mohammed. I will put it this way, we have exchanged one thoroughly corrupt government for one that pretends to be honest and is doing an honest job while in reality, it is business as usual.
