President Muhammadu Buhari is Mamman Daura’s Nephew although Daura is two and half years older than the president. The nephew-uncle relationship is described as extremely close and date back to childhood years.

Mamman Daura, who is considered to be even more powerful than Nigeria leader, has been playing a significant role through all the life of Buhari

According to Paden, Buhari’s biographer, Daura became life-long inspiration and confidant to the president

It’s no wonder that now with 73 years of close relations Buhari chooses Daura to be as close to him as possible

Malam Mamman Daura is a younger brother to General Muhammadu Buhari’s father, so he is an uncle to General Buhari. They are related by the bond of the blood. And that relationship is always very strong, particularly when they understand themselves with mutual respect.

Now that Buhari is in power as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the relationship is said to have even taken another dimension.

When Buhari overthrew Shagari in 1983, Daura was one of the few people Buhari trusted enough to give principal advisory roles. By the late 1980s, he had succeeded Ibrahim Dasuki as the head of the African International Bank.

He later also served as chairman of the board of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and if there is anyone who Buhari always listened to and confided in over the years, it is Mamman Daura but many are now complaining that the relationship is getting too close for comfort and will affect all the policies of the Buhari administration which is already struggling to cope with economic and security challenges.

In the photos below, when Katsina APC delegates went to pay Buhari courtesy visit as President-Elect, Daura was visibly by his side. He has never left, see photos below:

An industrialist and later editor and managing director of New Nigeria newspaper (one of the most influential publications in Nigeria at a point), Mamman Daura has been described as ‘intensely engaging, extremely intelligent and brilliant‘. However, not everyone agree with that description. Daura lives in the Aso Rock Presidential Villa or else he is off to his Kaduna residence.

Daura is close and influential to the president. He seems to have been given a free hand to operate as he likes and determine who gets what as far as the presidency is concerned.

Buhari's godfather.

Buhari's godfather.

to even think he's an elderly fellow is the surprising thing. I expected a younger man and was curious to check again when i heard something like his daughter was appointed a PA to someone

Talking about the cabal

I knew something like this was going on

I'm not gay but I respect those who make the decision, especially when their wives is not around most of the time.

Why do I have the feeling that the focus and pendulum is about swinging to this man. Osibanjo's men and some ministers that are not comfortable with happenings in Aso Rock are about pitching Nigerians against this guy. Some persons are about to fight dirty. All his intrigues and power plays are about being revealed and this will unsettle some members of the cabal. Some persons are out to cut the head of the serpent. 2023 fight is about to get messier. Bringing this guy's matter up is not just for fun or information. Them wan reason him matter. Watch out.

Love this article

Obviously Mamman Daura is on Nigerian govt payroll under the Buhari regime.Perhaps the emir of Daura with be there too.

He is the Current Vice President of Nigeria...the second most powerful man after the President Abba Kyari.

Abba Kyari is Maman Daura's boy. He planted him as the COS to gather information from people who come around Buhari for the cabal. And he's doing a wonderful job for them.

Abba Kyari only seem powerful because when daura is not interested in an issue; Kyari does it and at this stage; it would seem Kyari is all powerful. But the simple truth is that Daura is not interested in that particular issue.

Even Funtua and kingibe are more influential in the villa than Kyari.

Thanks for this

u speak like an insider,tell me more

To be completely honest, I don't have a problem with this man for Buhari to have brought him too close after all, everyone has such confidant who sometimes interfer in our decisions.

Buhari has been a failure with no clear vision since inception and Mamman Daura is not the cause.

Signs are beginning to emerge. The rule of the wicked is gradually being unraveled.
Only in Nigeria you will see someone who's not Aso Rock official and has no business being there is living 'Free Of Charge' in Aso Rock. Typical born to rule and entitlement mentality of terrorist. But what do we expect from a fulani govt who's head once said ''If he doesn't win elections, baboons and dogs will soak in blood?'' They got power through blood, they should be prepared to face the consequencies.

This regime is the worst govt ever since the mistake of 1914.

The man who calls the shots in the villa, that's why his daughter acts like she is supreme...smh

lalasticlala, think this makes sense. Front-page please.

He is my son

Okay

Whether Mamman Daura is buhari’s uncle or his his twin brother is not the issues. But why is he and his family living in the Aso villa? Aren’t there other way to show appreciation to a helper or sponsor?







This nonsense can only happen in a country like Nigeria.

Alhaji Mamman Daura is the president of Nigeria period

If he likes, he can invite all of Daura indigenes to live with him inAso rock. All we want is a better Nigeria, where prosperity, fairness, truth and common sense rule.

They are feeding their extended families with your commonwealth.
Yet they want to increase VAT
They want to toll the roads.
They want to tax your calls.
The tragedy is the blind support they get from millions.

His daughter had made him popular. His daughter has shown the whole world that this man is the shadow president and that she, Fatima is the first lady and not Aisha Buhari.
How can someone convince me that Aisha Buhari is still the first lady when one small girl emerged somewhere and confidently camera the first lady, making fun of her and preventing her from accessing some of the rooms in Aso Rock and security did nothing to stop her. She even went further granting a press briefing about the incident. Only coup plotters does that

He is the president of Nigeria lol
