Nepotism: MBuhari Appoints Father-in-law Of Private Secretary As New NIMASA Director-General | Sahara Reporters Now in his early 30s, Yusuf is regarded as one of the closest and most powerful persons around Nigeria’s President. NGRPresident READ MORE:
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday continued with his usual nepotistic tradition of appointing close family members and allies into key positions in government by naming Alhaji Bashir Jamoh as new Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.
Now in his early 30s, Yusuf is regarded as one of the closest and most powerful persons around Nigeria’s President. In fact, on the corridors of power, only two persons – Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to Buhari, and Mamman Daura, nephew to the President – are believed to be more influential than him especially when it comes to getting the attention and ears of Nigeria’s number one citizen.
“Sabiu, who is in his 30s, is one of the most powerful people in Nigeria today. He determines who sees and who doesn’t see Buhari. Only Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari can overrule him. Interestingly, Yusuf and Jamoh are not the only beneficiaries of Buhari’s nepotistic tendencies – since coming into office as Nigeria’s democratically elected President in May 2015, the retired military general has slotted close family members and allies into important positions.
According to Kperogi and other persons with close access to Buhari's circle, there are several more persons, who have benefitted from the President's nepotistic way of life. Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Dioceses, Rev Fr Matthew Hassan Kukah, in December 2019 accused Buhari of nepotism.
