How Buhari’s Earlier Plan To Sack Daura Was Thwarted — Presidency Source by dre11(op): 12:55am On Aug 19, 2018

President Muhammadu Buhari had planned to sack Mr. Lawal Daura as the Director - General of the Department of State Services about two weeks before he (Buhari ) started his 10- working day vacation on August 3 .

A top Presidency source disclosed this to some journalists on condition of anonymity on Saturday .

The Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo , had on August 7 , sacked Daura in the wake of the invasion of the National Assembly by officials of the DSS .

There were claims that Buhari would not have sacked the former DSS boss if he was in the country as of the time of the incident.

But the source confirmed to journalists that Buhari was on the same page with Osinbajo on all the decisions he took while he was away on vacation .

He claimed that some unnamed persons sympathetic to Daura blocked an attempt by Buhari to sack him earlier.

He also said the President and Osinbajo had been of the view that there was the need to review the appointments of the nation ’ s security chiefs , including that of Daura.

The official added that Osinbajo ’ s recent directive to the Inspector - General of Police , Ibrahim Idris , to overhaul the Special Anti -Robbery Squad was also a joint decision with the President .

He said , “ Less than two weeks before the President departed for the UK on vacation , there was a decision already reached to replace the former Director -General of the DSS , who was later fired by the Acting President .

“ The decision however did not see the light of day when some influential backers of the sacked DG rallied together to frustrate the plan .

“But unknown to many of the backers , both the President and his deputy had always discussed the need to review the appointments of some of the security chiefs including the sacked DG .

“ Even regarding the overhaul of the SARS, which the Acting President announced recently , the matter had featured prominently in regular interactions of both the President and the VP and also interactions by both of them with the Inspector - General of Police . ”

The source also said the Thursday decision of the National Economic Council to set up a committee to work with the IGP and find ways to decentralise police operations was a reflection of discussions and plans that both the President and the Vice -President have had over a number of times previously.

“ It is really pointless to try to attribute some of these decisions in a manner that suggests that maybe the President would not have taken them or that it was just one arm of the Presidency responsible for them.

“ The President and his deputy are far much closer than any other set of leaders the country has produced at least since 1999 if not even beyond .

“ It is therefore mischievous for some people to be comparing the two leaders .

Truth is that the President and his VP act in concert and credit ought to be given to the President who has ensured over and again that the VP is a major power broker in the Presidency .

“ There is hardly a move the VP would make without first securing the blessing of the President and both of them have developed mutual trust and confidence in each other and this is beneficial for the country, ” the Presidency official added .

He said although the President was on vacation, he and Osinbajo were in contact by telephone to discuss important state issues and compare notes .

In all their interactions, the source said the President had always encouraged Osinbajo to do the needful and take charge effectively.

Buhari is a weak man, simple.

The General In him is dead.

That his camp is anonymously leaking this info is making him even look weaker. If their plan and goal was to gather and garner sympathy for him from the general populace, then it is a failure.

How can you the President say you wanted to sack a person you appointed,and that decision was blocked by some faceless factors?if that is not weakness and incompetency, then I don't know what that is.

President Obama said and I quote " I was not elected the President to take easy decisions". If President Buhari is not man enough to take tough decisions, then he should allow a real man take over from him.

This is why the IGP and your service chiefs have no single fear of losing their positions or respect for you.

President Buhari, shape up or ship out of the Presidency. We did not vote for you to be giving us excuses on everything.

Thwarted by Saraki abi? Some power brokers prevented Buhari from sacking the DG why didn't they prevent the VP from doing same? Just accept the fact that Buhari lacks the balls to supervise his appointees effectively because he has surrounded himself with family members.

A president Buhari meant to sack Lawal Daura weeks before proceeding on his proposed vacation huh Can the president & his handlers please stop insulting the collective sensibility of Nigerians? angry angry
Did Buhari government/DSS lawlessness started then huh Simple no! A man that ordered a similar raid on houses of judges including that of the supreme court @ midnight in the name of a witch-hunting antigraft war without authorization & no action taken against him?

This particular incident among Daura's many treasonable action before time truly confirmed that Buhari will not and will have never sack the idiot DSS boss were he in the country then.
The alleged disquiet in the presidency over his sack by acting VP Osinbajo is also a pointer.Buhari/presidency cabal can only continue to deceive themselves & their zombies. angry angry

They are still trying to rehash the story after being caught red handed in a failed coup.

This misadventure by Buhari to use 1983 tactic to overthrow democracy will continue to hunt whatever is left of his misrule.

Once a coupist, always a coupist.

Someone who is been directed on what to do. Na remote control things. grin



Buhari is too weak, old and clueless to lead a nation like Nigeria.
Always running around for treatment, for how long are we going to continue like this? huh?



In a sane society, Buhari and all his service chief should have resigned for allowing an external force have influnce over National securities and plant moles everywhere too.


APC should present a young, vibrant and educated candidate if they are ready for reelection. Buhari don cast tipe tipe.

Yes there stumbling blocks and political gallops challenging him but there is an adage that says "when you start seeing enemies in a video game, just know that you are on the right direction".
He is still the President today because of Grace and his reputation not because he bribed his way in or served a godfather. Up till this moment, there is no stain in his administration apart from political cankerworns and greedy individuals who wanted to privatize Nigeria.

I must commend you for this, you are indeed a patriot.
The acting President can never take any decision without the approval and the knowledge of the Commander in Chief.

I like your comments and Omenka's for being objective and it really just shows a good level of education.

Most Nigerians find it so hard to be critical thinkers.

They can't just reason that it's possible to have supported PMB to clear out GEJ's shiit and still see that PMB has failed thus far.

Buhari is suffering from being not-so intelligent. The man is old and all he just wants is to rule. How to rule is a monumental problem for him.

How can your SSS Director be bought right under your nose ?
