Elder statesman and Second Republic lawmaker, Junaid
Mohammed, has claimed that some cabals in Aso Rock have hijacked power from
President Muhammadu Buari.
Mohammed asked Buhari to bury the thought of going for a
second term because Nigerians were already tired of his failed leadership style
and would not re-elect him.
He told newsmen in Abuja on Friday that it was unfortunate
for Buhari to allow his government to be hijacked by a cabal working against
the overall interest of Nigeria and its people.
He said, “The cabal under Buhari has virtually taken over
the affairs of the country from him and he cannot counterbalance them, a
situation that is very dangerous for the Nigerian people and their future.
“As it has emerged, Buhari cannot take firm decisions
against the cabal running his government and working for their selfish
interest. In the end, the President is always trying to pacify the cabal to the
detriment of Nigeria and it is very sad.
“This country therefore needs a competent leader bereft of
religious, tribal and health challenges to manage its affairs,” he said.
Recall that Mrs. Aisha Buhari had in an interview with the
BBC Hausa Service alleged that the president’s administration had been
hijacked, adding that she would not campaign for his re-election in 2019 if he
does not rejig his cabinet.
Meanwhile, Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo had recently
claimed he does not know who members of the cabal in the presidency are, but
said he was looking for them.
He said while reacting to the claims in some quarters that
some cabals were frustrating his boss, Buhari.
“Cabals are meant to be secret. I am still looking for those
guys. Honestly, I don’t know where they are. I can’t tell you that I know where
those fellows are,” he had said.
