The recent shooting incident at the nation’s seat of power which security experts have described as a rare occurrence has further portrayed the Buhari Presidency in bad light, OLALEKAN ADETAYO writes

It becomes more awkward when the gladiators are not satisfied with verbal attacks and decide to fire gunshots either into the air or towards those in the opposing camp. Mrs Buhari; her Aide-De-Camp, Usman Shugaba; and other security aides were said to have stormed Yusuf’s official residence inside one of the guest houses inside the Presidential Villa called House 8. Their mission was to evict the young man whose residence is a short distance from the official residence of the President.

Although she did not mention any name, she was clearly setting up the relevant government agencies against Yusuf. , in which she accused Fatima, the daughter of her husband’s nephew, Mamman Daura, of laughing at her in a video that went viral after Buhari reportedly asked Daura and his family to vacate the Glass House, an extension of the President’s residence, for his son, Yusuf.

She said, “Her comments frightened me. She was hurling insults and shouting that she had never seen anything like it. I went back and took my phone because if you went and said she acted the way she did, nobody would believe you . She said, “The President does not know 45 out of 50 of the people he appointed. I don’t know them either, despite being his wife of 27 years. Some people are sitting down in their homes and folding their arms only to be invited to head a government agency or take up a ministerial job.”

“I need to state that my position was a reflection of my sense of justice. It was not meant to confront or disrespect the government. I was brought up to stand by the truth and this is how I have always been. Meanwhile, the President has ordered the redeployment of about 20 presidential bodyguards over the shooting incident at the State House.
