Nepotism In Buhari's Govt, The Worst In Nigeria's History –Junaid Mohammed

In this meeting with JOHN ALECHENU, previous Joint House Leader of the old Peoples Redemption Party and Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and in addition an individual from the Defense Committee in the Second Republic, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, talks about the Buhari organization's against defilement war, the arms test and other national issues. Extracts:
Faultfinders of the President Muhammadu Buhari-drove organization have hooked on to the late capture of previous Army Chief, Azubuike Ihejerika, to blame it for prejudice. What is your take?

On the off chance that Nigerians can recollect that, I said as of late week; when one of the four administration boss, who are being researched, in particular: General Azubuike Ihejirika was captured by the DSS. I said while the capture of Ihejirika was an exceptionally positive improvement, it was none the less, lacking. It was incomplete and surely sends a wrong message. One, Ihejirika assumed control power from some individual called Lt. General (Abdulrahman) Dambazau. On the off chance that Ihejirika was liable; it makes sense that Dambazau is similarly liable on the grounds that Ihejirika assumed control from him. Regardless, data turning out from the examination board set up to test arms bargains shows unmistakably that Dambazau has a case to reply. Likewise, Dambazau is today dishonestly being made to speak to Kano in the administration by Buhari, which is exceptionally out of line and low since this man was not conceived in Kano. He is today Minister of Interior and notwithstanding which, he is Minister-in-Charge of Police Affairs. Under the British standards of Public Administration and Management, on the off chance that you are under scrutiny, you have ordinarily requested that progression aside. Dambazzau has not be requested that progression aside, which implies he is being permitted to meddle with the examinations by the EFCC which is actual, a police association. Someone else who I additionally comprehend has been arraigned and ought to be captured like Ihejirika is Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah. Minimah was not given that employment on legitimacy, he was given that position on simply tribal thought and in designating him as Chief of Army Staff, a few of his associates who are better tried and more refined and truth be told, better suggested were not just pushed aside, they were additionally rashly resigned. He ought to likewise be captured like Ihejirika. After Minimah, we now have Buratai. Burrata is a fascinating case not on account of he is not liable but rather on the grounds that Buratai and the circumstances encompassing his arrangement and the outrage he is currently enmeshed in; are normal of the heartbreaking feeling of judgment of General Muhammadu Buhari and the way he obstinately declines to concede when he commits an error.

Since you've gotten the claimed outrage including Buratai, what do you make of the entire thing?

It is presently clear past any sensible uncertainty - like we find in the media – that Buratai was the Director of Procurement at Defense Headquarters. There can never be any motivation behind why a different head of Army Staff who are included in wrongdoing and excellent violations in acquirement ought to be captured and taken to court while Buratai is permitted to remain sans shot. Furthermore, his position as Chief of Army Staff is something no one can clarify; no one but Buhari can clarify. It has now been found that this man is ridiculously wealthy like his accomplices. Thirdly, that he has property in Dubai among different spots and that while the Army tries to cover one of their own, their Chief of Army Staff; by saying that he procured these through the investment funds of his family-I don't know what his family was winning, shouldn't something be said about what he obtained when he got to be Chief of Army Staff? How does Buhari clarify that? Nigerians merit an answer and the answer must come speedily since Nigerians can't be taken for a ride by either Buhari or any armed force officer. The days when Nigerian Army officers can tell lies and escape with it or profess to be saviors in Nigeria is currently gone. Each trooper must end up being perfect before we take them to be spotless. We don't take anyone from Buhari to be perfect basically in light of the fact that he says he is spotless or his advertising men who are paid to say as much, say he is spotless, that day is gone and gone until the end of time.

There has been this discussion around an intrigue capturing the Presidency, a charge the Presidency has denied. Will we like your musings on this?

Give me a chance to say straight away that whether one calls it a plot or a mafia or some sort of faction or whatever, there is a gathering of individuals who are using power inside the Presidency under Buhari. Whatever you say it will be; it is and a considerable measure more awful. To start with, the most compelling individual in the Presidency today is one Mamman Daura whom as you probably are aware, is a nephew of the President. His dad was Buhari's senior sibling. Moreover, Mamman Daura was the person who without any help raised Abba Kyari, the present Chief of Staff to the President. Truth be told, Abba Kyari knows Mamman Daura more than he knows his own dad. Next, the Personal Assistant to Buhari himself is the child of Mamman Daura, next is the thing that they call SCOP, State Chief of Protocol, and is additionally a child-in-law to Mamman Daura on the grounds that he is hitched to Mamman Daura's little girl. Next, the Minister they singularly picked, against the enthusiasm of the gathering and against the desires of Sokoto individuals, happens to be the little girl of the most youthful sister of Mammon Daura's better half. Them two are girls of Sultan Dasuki, who was sacked by General Abacha. We have the Aide De Camp to Buhari himself, Colonel Abubakar. He is hitched to the granddaughter of one of Buhari's senior sisters. Next, we have the lady who speaks to Kaduna in the Federal Executive Council, she is a cousin to Kaduna State representative, Nasir el-Rufai. It is surely understood that el-Rufai is one of the nearest 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 greatest holding organization that had a place with all the northern states. His lone capability to be FCT clergyman is the way that his dad has been Buhari's companion throughout the years. Presently, there is a young fellow called Sibiu Yusuf, nicknamed Tunde – most likely as a result recently General Tunde Idiagbon. He is another PA to President Buhari. He is additionally a grandson of another sister of Buhari. This is sufficient to demonstrate to you this is indecently the most exceedingly bad type of nepotism in the historical backdrop of government in Nigeria. Actually, ever, let me make strong to attest that I have never seen any level of nepotism that has equaled or surpassed this in all my years – I am currently in my 67th year. Something else I likewise need you to know is that, Amina Zakari, who was and still a national chief in the Independent National Electoral Commission speaking to the whole seven states in the North-West. It is being asserted that Buhari knows nothing about her arrangement (before he got to be President), it is an untruth. At the point when President Goodluck Jonathan was re-arranging the INEC and he was acquiring Prof. Attahiru Jega, he connected with Buhari and requested that Buhari designates someone from the North-West so that that individual would be a national chief. Of the considerable number of individuals in the North-West, Buhari chose to choose his own particular niece, the little girl of his senior sister-Amina Zakaria. She has been there; when Jega left, Buhari was resolved to make her director, it was a direct result of the huge kickback that he dropped the thought like hot potatoes. As we are talking today, that lady is a national chief which implies she is one of the important race umpires. All through my perusing of history, political science and sociologies, by and large, I have never known about any tyrant or any dictator under any arrangement of government whether totalitarian or rightist, selecting his own particular niece to direct decisions in which he was either a gathering or going to be a gathering to; Buhari has done that. The prompt more youthful sibling to Amina Zakari is as of now the Minister for Water Resources speaking to Jigawa State in the same Buhari government. What's more, despite the fact that they are from Kazaure, Kazaure is touching to Daura. The eldest sister of them two is presently the Commissioner for Education in the All Progressives Congress government in Jigawa State. In the event that this is not nepotism, then I don't realize what is nepotism and anyone who has the guts, the severe pomposity to designate these relations not making a fuss over popular supposition, about the feeling of equity, about fitness, then you can see that he has an intense inquiry to reply. There are two baffling cases.

Which cases would you say you are alluding to?


The instance 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 legislative leader of the CBN picked a bit of paper and gave a guideline that N14bn ought to be pulled back from the CBN and that cash was pulled back. That was about a year prior and up till today, Buhari is as yet holding Emefiele as CBN representative. The Buhari I know is a monetary unskilled and anyone who knows anything about coin development and outside trade and vacillations realizes that the Naira has been successfully downgraded. It was the same Buhari who gloated that the Naira could never be depreciated under him for whatever length of time that he remains President and even debilitated the legislative head of the CBN that he was going to sack him in the event that he degraded the Naira. He (CBN representative) is still there. On account of Kachikwu, he is the secret man in the bureau. Nobody can really let you know who designated and acquired Kachikwu. We realized that he was companions with Abba Kyari when they both worked in Mobil however none of them had the impact to get him and make him Minister of Petroleum Resources. Disregard the rubbish about him being the lesser m
