Bashir Abubakar was Mr Buhari's CSO until this week when he was ordered to proceed on an immediate 'strategic course' at a university in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the redeployment of his Chief Security Officer and accepted a replacement.
Whenever Mr Ahmed is not in the villa, he is to be assisted by another State Security Service official, Abubakar Maikano. Another source who asked not to be named because of the “sensitive nature of the matter” said those around the president have never been happy with the way the former CSO operated.
For instance, we gathered that Mr Buhari’s media team were not happy with the way Mr Abubakar expelled the State House correspondent of Punch Newspaper, Olalekan Adetayo, without recourse to the media team.

Only four years and it’ll be over! - Vanguard News NigeriaEARLY on Wednesday, February 27, 2019, by 4.40 a.m and four days after the presidential election held in Nigeria on Saturday, February 23, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, announced that Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been reelected Nigeria’s president. What this means is that, if the legal challenge being undertaken by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, comes out unfruitful, the next four years will see Gen Buhari piloting the affairs this country. President Buhari has already warned Nigerians to expect four years of hardship. He, reportedly, called it “tough times” which he said would be far worse than what Nigerians experienced in his first term, and I have no reason to doubt him. Obviously, he does not want to once again mesmerise us with tantalising promises which would only end up advertising his inability to redeem them.
