During Buhari’s administration, reports had it that a group of cabals were the decision-makers and not the former president.
Garba Shehu, former Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has refuted claims that cabals had taken control of the previous administration.
Shehu disclosed that the claims of a cabal in Buhari’s past administration were sheer nonsense.
During Buhari’s administration, reports had it that a group of cabals were the decision-makers and not the former president.
Dismissing this claim, Shehu said Buhari had a mind of his own, adding that nobody could order him around.
He disclosed this while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.
According to Shehu: “This thing about cabal is sheer nonsense. Buhari is a military general, even when he converted to a democrat.
“He was used to giving orders and not taking them from anybody. I have not known one person who will give you 100 percent assurance that when I tell Buhari A, B, C is black, he will say A, B, C is black.
“He had his own mind. You can have anybody around you, people will come and advise you, but the buck stops on his table. I tell you that nobody can guarantee it.”
