Buhari is corrupt, nepotistic – Junaid Mohammed
“And Buhari is quiet, apparently he is under pressure from some people, particularly the Mamman Dauras and some of the rogues and scoundrels who are always around whenever somebody is in government. Now this is the tragedy of Nigeria today.
“Buhari is performing marginally in the fight against terrorism, particularly Boko Haram terrorism. He is doing nothing, in fact what he is doing in the South South is appeasement, open and shameful appeasement in the Niger Delta.
“It shows that even among Nigerians, some are more equal than others, according to Buhari’s government.
Abba Kyari sits on Magu’s confirmation letter
Mohammed said although Buhari has been making progress in the fight against corruption, the credit for that effort goes to acting EFCC Chairman, Mustapha Magu, and not really the presidency.
He was appointed on November 9, 2015 and has still not been confirmed.
“These are the boys [EFCC personnel] who are doing the job and they are doing it very well.
“In fact they are doing it so well that Mamman Daura, Abba Kyari and Babachir David and some other people around Buhari are determined to get rid of Mustapha Magu because he took on this mysterious Sahara Energy Oil Company and froze the account.
“The directors of the company include Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari. That is why they are now after the EFCC, particularly the chairman.
“Magu has been on acting appointment since Buhari came. Buhari has for months given approval for his situation to be regularised to be made permanent chairman. Abba Kyari has been sitting on the paper for over three months.
“Buhari cannot tell him to submit the paper. So who is ruling us?
Mohammed argued that in a democracy, the likes of Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari should not be given the right to take decision.
“They have no mandate. None of them has ever won an election in his life. I knew in 1979 when we were going to the National Assembly, Mamman Daura wanted to be a senator for the area east of Katsina which include Daura.
“Because Daura itself is too small a village and too small a district to provide a senator, they had to cut a portion of eastern Katsina to merge with it.
“The people of Katsina said ‘we understand your situation. You are minority in Katsina and the old Kaduna State. We would vote for you en masse, but don’t bring Mamman Daura.
‘“Anybody in the whole of the area, yes, but not Mamman Daura. We don’t want any member of the Kaduna Mafia in the National Assembly or in any forum in Nigeria to represent us.’
“And that was how Mamman Daura was thrown out and a friend of mine called Abba Ali became the senator from that area.
“Now this is the same Mamman Daura who is exercising so much power simply because his uncle Buhari is the president.
“Nigerians should start asking the correct questions instead of messing themselves up using tribalism and religion and other nonsense.”
