Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has said the letter by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu to President Muhammadu Buhari is an indication that there is a “circle of power within the President’s government”.

The Minister, in the letter had accused the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Dr . Maikanti Baru of insubordination and humiliation.

Kachikwu had also expressed disappointment at the fact that he had no express access to the president.

But speaking on Channels Television, on Wednesday, Sani said Kachikwu’s letter showed that there was a system disconnect in the government circle.

According to the lawmaker, the letter had shown that there was a government within Buhari’s government.

Sani said, “The content of that letter and the allegations raised also raise a number of issues, not only about the NNPC but about the whole structure of governance that exists today.

“If a minister of state can outright say it’s been difficult for him to access channels through which he can present his issues, I think there is a system disconnect there.

“And it is simply giving credence to the fact there exists a government within the government. There are individuals that have formed a shield, a cycle. And I think the issue that it raised in every possible way, is pointing to the fact that there is a cycle of powers within powers itself.”

Clarifying his statement, the lawmaker said the “government within the government” he referred has nothing to do with the kitchen cabinet.

“This is about some persons who have surrounded the president and are exercising powers to themselves and to their advantage and also manipulating power for their own personal interest,” he added.

However, Sani said the President might not be aware of the issues raised in the letter.

“I am of the firm belief that if he is aware of this, he would have taken action.

“And if he is not aware of this and this has been brought to the public fore, then he can now take action on it. But if he says he will not take an action on this issue, then it will certainly stain the integrity of the administration,” he said.

People always hijack his govt, don't know why

Change change people

This Kackikwu and NNPC matter is very shameful. The president must address the issues raised in the Kachikwu memo quickly or else, someone like me cannot in good conscience still continue to support his government. We voted for Buhari to drain the corruption swamp and ensure that things are done properly henceforth. If he cannot take charge of the government, he should resign and go away.

I wonder how the old punk @ Aso rock, who couldn't improve the productivity of his cow ranch, convinced Nigerians of his ability to improve the fortunes of a large country.

It is shameful, looking at the amount of times he contested, they thought he had something to offer.

I remember when Buhari won election newly, he became a symbol of "Never give up".

Now, nobody would ever use Buhari as an example, unless you want to define Wasted Opportunity or Failure.

Very shameful

Buhari looks out of control in his government

He should wake up

You gotta hand it to this man though, he says things as it is

Has Buhari ever been in full control of any Administration of his life? . It has always been hijacked or ran from the background while he sits back like a wall Gecko and watch his own government like TV series.

You have been so pained about this incident since it broke out and I see sincerity in your pains. But you failed to realize that buharis campaign was funded from the proceeds of corruption and whether he likes it or not, the boys must recoup on their investment.

Having said that, is it not worrisome that the president has not held a meeting with his junior minister of a critical sector of the economy since his return?

Can you imagine the administrative lacuna that exists between a Minister and his junior minister that made the later go public with his frustration?

Why is buhari a Minister in Nnpc if he lacks capacity to properly oversee its functions?

Aisha said similar things some time back

It's sad. That letter has exposed a high level of technical illiteracy in this government

We've always known their are cabals in charge. After all an ordinary official had d ryt to ask "Who is d Presidency" and nothing happened. So much for I belong to everybody and I belong to nobdy.

This is exactly what we have been saying,some of you support buhari blindly and anyone that questions these your blind support for buhari is tagged ipob Ibo or what have you. I too supported and voted for buhari,
but brother things are not working under this present administration. Be truthful to yourself and free your conscience

It did not start today, buhari can never change:

Between 1983 and 1985, Peter Onu of Nigeria was Acting Secretary-General of the OAU. At the 1985 Summit in Addis Ababa, statesmen like Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, lobbied for his election as substantive Secretary-General. However, there was a major stumbling block to Peter Onu’s candidature: his Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, was campaigning against him. Buhari claimed: “This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country than Nigeria.” But when the crunch came, his allegiance to Nigeria disappeared. In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari preferred a man from Niger instead of Nigeria. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe... -

Who is still interested in your drama

buhari is a scammer



from sending his kids to the best schools abroad to forming prudent man

his wife spends more than a millions dollars on dresses and jewelries annually

thieves forming anti corruption

Nigeria is a scam

Ok

Nigeria belongs to some people and there is a government within Buhari’s government

chai!!! this one weak meeting oo

I only pity Kachikwu because raising this issue may cost him his job for speaking out against the cabals

Nothing new with the submission of Shehu Sani. The most annoying part is allowing the cabals overwhelmingly dictate the pace. We need to wait for another 19 months to boot out this government without direction.
Kachikwu should be smart enough-Resign!

una never see anything yet

Imagine northerners stealing and enriching themselves from oil money that belongs to the south if buhati was a man with the fear of God he would have suspended Baru and probe kachukws report and investigate but ladies and gentle men this case will be swept under the carpet like that of lawal babachir,saraki and melaye
