Cabals In Fresh Plot To Rush Buhari Home Before Abuja Airport Closure Against UK Doctors Advise, Completely Block Aisha From Seeing Her Husband

Cabals In Fresh Plot To Rush Buhari Home Before Abuja Airport Closure Against UK Doctors Advise, Completely Block Aisha From Seeing Her Husband

AISHA BUHARI, DAURA AND BUHARI
The latest report emanating from Sahara Reporters suggests that the powerful Presidential aide, popularly known as CABALS are plotting to rush President Muhammadu Buhari back home against the recommendation of the United Kingdom Doctor managing his deteriorating health condition before the closure of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.

The airport is scheduled to be shut down for at least six weeks starting from midnight on March 7, 2017.  President Buhari left Nigeria on vacation on January 19announcing that he would be back in Abuja on February 6. However, on the planned date of return, President Buhari wrote to the Nigerian Senate extending his return to Nigeria indefinitely. The Nigerian leader told senators that he would remain in the U.K. to await the results of tests ordered by his doctors. 


Our source, further revealed that the Presidential spokesmen have been adamant against revealing to Nigerians the specific nature of Mr. Buhari's illness. Instead, they have either claimed that the president was merely resting in London or that he was undergoing some medical checks that necessitated a delay in his return to Abuja.

Saharareporters was the first to disclose that President Buhari would need more than the initial ten days to deal with myriads of health challenges that have dogged him for months. Sources close to Mr. Buhari disclosed that the president's doctors in the U.K. have recommended that he stay in London for as long as four months in order to complete a rigorous regimen of treatment for a prostrate-related ailment as well as Crohn's disease. 

Our sources revealed that President Buhari is afflicted with internal organ disorders that have caused him to lose weight and wrecked his appetite. 

"Some of Mr. President's associates are mounting pressure on him to return to Abuja as soon as possible, and especially before the [Abuja] airport is temporarily closed," a knowledgeable source told our correspondent. He confirmed that President Buhari was yet to complete his treatment for his prostate ailment as well as Crohn's disease, a condition that plagues his intestines. 

Our sources said President Buhari's inner circle, led by his cousin, Mamman Daura, and his personal assistant, Tunde Sabiu (also known as “Tunde Idiagbon”), were behind the decision not to disclose the nature of the president's ailments to the Nigerian public. The two insiders are reportedly managing a cabal around Mr. Buhari to control and leverage power in Abuja.

Our investigation showed that the cabal had effectively shoved aside President Buhari's wife, Aisha Buhari, relegating her to Abuja. Instead, one of President Buhari's daughters, Halima, is now the only direct relative given free access to the ailing president in London. 

Halima, a daughter from Mr. Buhari’s first marriage, recently returned to Abuja on a British Airways flight. One source claimed that her return to Abuja was possibly to prepare for her father’s temporary return to Nigeria. 

Our sources revealed that, even if President Buhari returns soon, he would need to travel out again to London in a few months to continue his treatment. 

"It doesn't make sense for Mr. President to return to Abuja immediately just to serve the political interests of some people when his doctors want him to go through all his treatment," one of our sources said.

Again, Aisha Buhari Cries Out As 4 Aso Rock Cabals Seize Ailing Husband In UK; Block Ministers, Families Access To The President

Again, Aisha Buhari Cries Out As 4 Aso Rock Cabals Seize Ailing Husband In UK; Block Ministers, Families Access To The President

No comments
AISHA BUHARI
Just as she raised alarm last year October that some cabals in Aso Rock have taken over governance from his husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, the first Lady, Aisha has again registered her displeasure how some named 4 Aso Rock Cabals have extended their influence on the President even at sick ben at the United Kingdom, fresh report according to Punch Newspaper suggests.

Punch Newspaper detailed that family members, friends and senior government officials who attempted to call or pay visits to President Muhammadu Buhari in the United Kingdom are having a difficult time getting access.

The report specifically named four aides who are popularly known as CABALS of the president who are said to be in control access to President Buhari, who is on extended medical vacation in the United Kingdom. 


The CABALS  according to Punch Newspaper are the President’s nephew, Mamman Daura; the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Domestic Affairs, Sarki Aba; Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari; and Personal Assistant to the President; Tunde Sabiu.

Our source detailed that anyone who wants to telephone or see the president in London must get the approval of one or more of the four aides. The only two individuals who are exempted from seeking permission to visit Buhari or call him are Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and First Lady, Aisha Buhari.

It was gathered according to our source that the First Lady is said not to be happy with the way the aides have been managing access to her husband. The first lady’s relationship with the president’s aides has not always been cordial. In October last year, Aisha granted a highly controversial interview to the British Broadcasting Corporation, in which she alleged that a cabal had hijacked her husband’s government.

According to a source in government, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Buhari’s wife had voiced her displeasure to close friends and associates that the cabal she complained about were still the ones in charge of her husband in London.

“The First Lady is not with him permanently in London, which should normally not be the case. She has had a few clashes with the cabal and she is not happy that they are also firmly in control in London. That’s why she goes and comes. She is not happy with the atmosphere over there.”

It was gathered that these individuals have turned down numerous requests from the President’s friends, associates and members of his cabinet to see him.

Since Buhari extended his medical vacation on February 19, those who have visited him in his Abuja House residence in London include the Senate President, Bukola Saraki;  Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan; Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, Deputy Speaker, Yusuf Lasun; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Chief Bisi Akande; Ogun State Governor and Ibikunle Amosun.

It was gathered that the visits were initiated by the guests who made requests which had to be reviewed by the president’s aides. Daura was present during the Tinubu and Akande’s visit. Daura, who holds no political office in the present dispensation, has repeatedly been touted as the most powerful person in the present government, prompting Buhari to publicly declare late October 2016 that, “I’m in charge, not Mamman Daura.”

Daura travels with the president and is often seen with him. Daura is believed to belong to the legendary ‘Kaduna Mafia’, an influential group of young northern Nigerian intellectuals, civil servants, business tycoons and military officers residing or conducting business in the former northern capital city of Kaduna. The group reportedly influenced government policies during the military era and previous civilian administrations. Other famous members of the group were Adamu Ciroma, Ibrahim Tahir, Mahmud Tukur, and former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Adamu Ciroma; former Minister of Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Tahir; former Minister of Commerce and Industry during the Buhari-Idiagbon regime, Dr. Mahmud Tukur; former Sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki;  former Head of the Technical Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation, Hamza Zayyad; a former minister, Umaru Mutallab; former presidential aspirant and number-two man, General Shehu Yar’Adua; a former Vice Chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University, Professor Ango Abdullahi; Professor Jibril Aminu and others.

Kyari is known to be one of the President’s closest aides.  He plans Buhari’s schedules while ministers are said to queue in his office to see the President. Kyari’s influence became clear to many during a retreat organised by the presidency for the then ministers-designate. While declaring the retreat open on  November 5, 2015, Buhari said, “In addition, all communications and appointments from you (ministers) to the Presidency should be routed through the Office of the Chief of Staff as it is the normal (procedure) in this presidential system.”

While much is not known about Sabiu, who was appointed shortly after Buhari’s election, he is reportedly related to Daura. Sources in government told our correspondent that the President ‘feels relaxed’ around him and has a lot of trust in him. The same was said of Aba, who was described as ‘quiet but one of the few people that can make anyone see the President.”

Presented with the names of the aides controlling access to the president, a source in the presidency confirmed the list. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the subject, said, “The names you have are accurate and they are the ones controlling access to the President in London, even in Nigeria. Some ministers, aides and service chiefs tried to talk to the President on the phone, but they turned them down.

“The few people that have seen the President only saw him because they agreed to it. If they didn’t, it would never have happened, apart from Governor Amosun, who everyone knows is one of Buhari’s best friends.”

The source refused to give the names of those whose requests to see Buhari were turned down.

Meanwhile, Buhari on Saturday spoke with his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on the telephone for the first time since he embarked on his extended medical vacation on January 19.

Adesina, who felt elated about the development, confirmed the conversation on his Facebook page and Twitter handle.

He had during previous interviews said he was only speaking with those around the President.

Giving details of his discussion with the President, Adesina said Sabiu called him at exactly 2.43pm and asked that he hold on for the President.

On recognition of the President’s voice, Adesina said he screamed and said, “Mr. President, I have missed you. How are you sir?”

He continued, “He (the President) first laughed. That familiar laugh. Then he said, ‘I am still resting. Thank you for holding out against mischief makers.’

“I said it was my duty, the very least I could do, adding how happy I was to speak with him. He asked, ‘How is your family?’

“I said we were fine, and he asked me to extend his greetings to them. ‘I hope to call you again,’ Mr. President said, and I bade him farewell, adding ‘Best wishes, sir.’”

Adesina described the telephone conversation as a defining moment for him.

He said, “It was a defining moment for me. For more than a month, I had always spoken with aides who are with the President in London.

“Not once did I ask them to take the phone to him, deliberately so, because I didn’t need to speak with him to validate the fact that he was alive. And since he is on vacation, he has a right to his privacy.

“Of his own volition, President Buhari spoke with me. It made my day. Even if he hadn’t done so, he would have remained my President, my leader, and my man. Any day.”

EXPOSED: The Gang That Actually Frustrated Magu's Confirmation ...The Shady Oil Deal; Diezani, Omokore Connections

EXPOSED: The Gang That Actually Frustrated Magu's Confirmation ...The Shady Oil Deal; Diezani, Omokore Connections

No comments
TheNiche - A long list of actors at the presidency and Senate crippled the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on December 14, 2016.  

Leading the pack is President Muhammadu Buhari’s chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, followed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, President Buhari’s principal adviser, Mamman Daura, the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, Director General of the Department of State Security (DSS), Lawal Daura and Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Senate spokesman, Sabi Abdullahi, announced after a two-hour closed-door meeting in the Senate president’s office that Magu would not be confirmed.  

“The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wishes to inform the general public that based on the security report available to the Senate, the Senate cannot proceed and confirm the nomination of Ibrahim Magu Mustapha as the Executive Chairman of the EFCC. Accordingly, the Senate hereby rejects the said nomination and has returned the said nomination to Mr. President for further action,” Abudullahi said.

In June 2016, radical politician and Second Republic Lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed, had accused the gang of working against Magu’s confirmation as substantive EFCC chairman.

“These are the boys (Magu and his colleagues) who are doing the job and they are doing it so well that Mamman Daura, Abba Kyari and the Secretary to the Government and some other people around Buhari are determined to get rid of the chairman, Mustapha Magu because he took this mysterious Sahara Energy oil company and he froze the account,” Junaid had alleged.

Sahara Energy was an oil services firm owned by billionaire businessman, Jide Omokore, who is currently in the eye of the storm over some shady oil deals he had with former petroleum minister, Diezani Allison Madueke.  

Junaid Mohammed accused Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari of being directors of the company and because they failed to prevail on Magu to defreeze the account of Sahara Energy, they swore to work against his confirmation.

In a follow up phone interview, Junaid Mohhammed reiterated his charge against the men.

“first and foremost, I said what I said in June about Magu because I knew that the cabal around Buhari was not interested in an independent chairman of the EFCC.

“They have not minced words. Mamman Daura has insisted that this is his government and the government of his uncle. Kyari has been known to have, after a couple of alcoholic drink, claim that they are going to halt the anti-corruption war because they are the ones who control General Buhari.

“Similar reckless statements have emanated from the SGF, Babachir Lawal.

“I also knew that as much as Buhari was appreciative of what the acting chairman was doing, he is very much under the control of the cabal,” he said.

Executive Chairman of Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL), Debo Adeniran said failure of the Senate to confirm Magu was shameless and disgraceful.

“Although we knew it was going to be like making a camel pass through the eye of the needle for the acting Chairman to be made substantive, but at least we gave a benefit of doubt because we felt that, even among thieves, there should be honour,” he said.

Tinubu 'Penetrates' Presidency To Oust Oyegun, To Push Him Out With Ambassadorial Appointment

Tinubu 'Penetrates' Presidency To Oust Oyegun, To Push Him Out With Ambassadorial Appointment

No comments
Tinubu and Oyegun
The national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu may have penetrated the Presidency in his bid to ensure the ouster of the embattled National Chairman of the party,Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, report according to Vanguard News reveals.

According to Sunday Vanguard, the subterranean plots to remove the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun is reportedly gaining some traction, with the forces working towards his removal angling to get the president to name him an ambassador. Past efforts to ease him out of the party through such appointments had failed as Chief Oyegun himself is said not to be well-disposed to such appointments. 


Some party insiders accused the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Babachir Lawal of working in cahoot with the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu camp to remove the chairman.

However, the SGF has denied the allegation, saying such appointments are the prerogative of the president. In a text message to Sunday Vanguard, Lawal said; “I do not know anything about the chairman’s ambassadorial as such are made by the president. Did you see his name on the list read out on the floor of the Senate?”, he queried. 

It was learnt according to our source that the plot by the contending camps to remove Odigie-Oyegun as the party’s National Chairman before the completion of his four-year term guaranteed by the APC Constitution is a veiled attempt to hijack the APC political machinery in the leadup to the 2019 general elections

The “sins” of the chairman are not far-fetched. In the aftermath of the failed imposition of candidates in the National Assembly, Chief Odigie-Oyegun had refused to kowtow to the demands of a contending camp in the party to sanction the “rebels” Saraki and Dogara, instead toeing the line of caution to ensure that APC did not lose grip of the National Assembly leadership to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). 

Also, the decision of the Odigie-Oyegun-led APC to pick Yahaya Bello over Abiodun Faleke (Tinubu’s candidate) in the aftermath of the Kogi governorship debacle following Abubakar Audu’s death is another “sin”. 

His third major “sin” is his handling of the recent primary election in Ondo state whose outcome had forced Mr Tinubu to call for the resignation of the chairman.

Vanguard has more.

At Last, Buhari Breaks Silence; Talks Of Cabals In Presidency; Their Influence And Others

At Last, Buhari Breaks Silence; Talks Of Cabals In Presidency; Their Influence And Others

No comments
buhari daura aisha
There had been media speculation that the Presidency powers have been seized by a set of Cabals headed by President Muhammadu Buhari's cousin, Mr. Mamman Daura, but the President in an unusual manner has claimed he is actually in charge and not his cousin.

Buhari according to  Punch Newspaper stated this in an interview with an on-air-presenter, Osasu Igbinedion, on her show, The Osasu show, which was monitored by our correspondent on the programme’s YouTube page.

Asked whether it was true that Daura, following his perceived strong influence over Buhari, was acting as unofficial president, as being alleged in some quarters, Buhari noted that, as the duly elected president of the country, he was in charge of the Federal Government.


He said, “Sahara Reporters, I don’t know where they got their information from. I stood for the election; I visited every local government in Nigeria by air, by road and so on. And we had one of the most credible elections. So, whoever feels that he has lost (out) somehow is his own problem, I have no problem.”

Buhari further said the Presidential Committee on the North East would ensure that the monies donated for humanitarian aid in the North East to tackle malnutrition among children in Internally Displaced Persons camps would be judiciously used.

He said the former general in charge of the committee was one ‘reputed for his integrity.’

“His headquarters is situated in the presidency, he’s got some staff and there is legal instrument developed on how this money would be spent. So, whoever has got any money to contribute or food items will go and make a presentation.

“We have a list of infrastructure, especially educational infrastructure, and it is up to them to go and choose what they would do,” the President said.

UNICEF estimates that about a quarter of a million children are malnourished in the North East as a result of Boko Haram insurgency.

There had been media speculation that the Presidency powers have been seized by a set of Cabals headed by President Muhammadu Buhari's cousin, Mr. Mamman Daura, but the President in an unusual manner has claimed he is actually in charge and not his cousin.

Buhari according to  Punch Newspaper stated this in an interview with an on-air-presenter, Osasu Igbinedion, on her show, The Osasu show, which was monitored by our correspondent on the programme’s YouTube page.

Asked whether it was true that Daura, following his perceived strong influence over Buhari, was acting as unofficial president, as being alleged in some quarters, Buhari noted that, as the duly elected president of the country, he was in charge of the Federal Government.


He said, “Sahara Reporters, I don’t know where they got their information from. I stood for the election; I visited every local government in Nigeria by air, by road and so on. And we had one of the most credible elections. So, whoever feels that he has lost (out) somehow is his own problem, I have no problem.”

Buhari further said the Presidential Committee on the North East would ensure that the monies donated for humanitarian aid in the North East to tackle malnutrition among children in Internally Displaced Persons camps would be judiciously used.

He said the former general in charge of the committee was one ‘reputed for his integrity.’

“His headquarters is situated in the presidency, he’s got some staff and there is legal instrument developed on how this money would be spent. So, whoever has got any money to contribute or food items will go and make a presentation.

“We have a list of infrastructure, especially educational infrastructure, and it is up to them to go and choose what they would do,” the President said.

UNICEF estimates that about a quarter of a million children are malnourished in the North East as a result of Boko Haram insurgency.

How Mamman Daura became ‘Nigeria’s most powerful nephew’

How Mamman Daura became ‘Nigeria’s most powerful nephew’

How Mamman Daura became ‘Nigeria’s most powerful nephew’
TheCable - Mamman Daura is today described as the “most powerful nephew” in Nigeria by virtue of his closeness to President Muhammadu Buhari.

At the centre of the recent complaints by Aisha, Buhari’s wife, is that those who did not participate in the campaign were the ones calling the shots in her husband’s government

TheCable understands that Duara is one of those she was referring to, having already complained privately about him.


However, what has often not been reported is how Daura came to wield so much influence on Buhari.

He is the son of Buhari’s elder brother, but since Daura is three years older, the president is “awkwardly” his uncle.

Daura, often described by associates as “extremely intelligent and brilliant”, was a journalist and an industrialist, serving as head of the African International Bank and also chairman of the board of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

He was editor of New Nigerian in the 1970s.

In the book, Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria, John Paden, an American professor, offers a historical insight into the significant role Daura played in the formative years of his “uncle”.

SETTLE DOWN

According to Paden, it was Daura, along with Waziri al-Hassan (Buhari’s foster father), that encouraged Buhari, a reluctant student in his early years, “to settle down and take his studies seriously”.

It was also Daura that “strongly encouraged” Buhari to join the military in 1961.

Daura, Paden wrote, would become a “life-long inspiration and confidant to Buhari” who guided him all through his formative years.

Buhari would go on to become military head of state in the final years of his career.

So while Aisha might have been married to Buhari for 27 years, Daura had known her husband for 73 years.

Paden revealed that “after the death of his mother in December 1988, Buhari was released and traveled to Daura for the mourning. When he arrived in Daura, he found his farm much as he had left it. His senior brother (the father of Mamman Daura), along with the Barden Daura, had managed the cattle, sheep, and horses in his absence”.


The George Mason University professor  wrote: “When Buhari’s father died, Waziri al-Hasan – the son of Emir Musa ­ became the guardian of Zulaihat (Buhari’s mother) and her six children, including her youngest,  Muhammadu. This played  a  major  role in the upbringing of Buhari.

“This extensive kinship network also affected the future of Buhari in another important way. His senior brother was the father of Mamman Daura, who was three years older than Buhari, although technically his nephew. Mamman would become a life-long inspiration and confidant to Buhari. He was especially critical in encouraging Buhari to pursue lifelong education.

“Like many boys at that time and place, Buhari went to Quranic school before going to primary school. He was not enthusiastic about these studies. Early each morning, he would get up and have to fetch firewood for his teacher for the evening Qur’anic readings. There were also several hours of Qur’anic lessons in the morning, at a time when Buhari would rather be outside playing.

“In part because of his love of the outdoors, Buhari was a reluctant student in his early years. He would often skip school altogether, although this always resulted in beatings with a cane by the schoolmaster. Only with the encouragement of Waziri al-Hasan and Mamman Daura did he eventually settle down and take his studies  seriously.”

NIGHTMARE VENTURES

Young northern boys were being encouraged to join the army in the years around Nigeria’s independence, and Buhari was encouraged by his uncle to consider a military carrier.

“Meanwhile, the Emir of Katsina, whose emirate adjoined Daura  Emirate, was encouraging bright  young men to go into the military and train to become officers.  His own son, Hassan Katsina, had  become a military officer,” Paden wrote.

“When Buhari was considering his options in 1960, Hassan Katsina would often take the secondary school boys out for night hikes and to sleep under the stars. Buhari enjoyed the great sense of adventure of these nighttime ventures into nature.

“In addition to considering the military because of the example set by Hassan Katsina, Buhari recognized that officer training provided  a pathway to further education. Yet  another impetus was provided  by Mamman Daura, who strongly encouraged his “younger uncle” to consider officer training and higher education.

“Buhari, who was now nineteen years old, had to take several exams even to be considered for officer training. He was able to pass English, mathematics, and general knowledge, plus he met the physical requirements. Still, the competition was nationwide, and only about seventy boys would be selected for officer candidate school. Of these, only half would be commissioned.

“The competition was thus stiff, but Buhari was among those selected. One of the key qualities needed in the military was “leadership.” Buhari would prove himself time and again to possess that rare gift.”

EXCLUSIVE | Buhari’s Health: Aisha’s Co-dependency Concerns Unmask New Details

EXCLUSIVE | Buhari’s Health: Aisha’s Co-dependency Concerns Unmask New Details

No comments
AISHA BUHARI
SignalNG - Fresh details have emerged on the ongoing controversy surrounding the wife of the President of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari, the condition of President Buhari’s health and the power tussle for the soul of the Aso Rock seat of power.

SIGNAL had exclusively reported on Wednesday how President Buhari’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease has rendered him nearly incapable of running the affairs of the Nigerian government, paving way for the Mamman Daura cabal to take over the Buhari administration, a development that triggered off Aisha Buhari’s controversial interview with the BBC.


Mamman Daura is a close relative and long-time confidant of President Buhari. Daura, alongside the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal are said to be the forces behind a cabal that has completely hijacked the Nigerian Presidency from Buhari.

In a follow-up report on Friday, an informed source who did not want to be named linked Aisha Buhari’s BBC interview with the possibility of her “separation” from the President.

According to the source, Aisha’s outbursts in her BBC interview were more complicated than simply an expression of a personal opinion on the Buhari administration, stating that her approach was abnormal and goes against the expectations of her tradition and religion.

Her choice of the United Kingdom for the interview with the Hausa Service of the BBC, the source said, explores the possibility of “exile” in the United Kingdom, barring any attempts to reconcile her differences with President Buhari.

In a new twist that lends credence to reports on President Buhari’s health, checks by SIGNAL on Friday revealed that Aisha is currently undertaking a counseling course on co-dependency in the United Kingdom. The details are contained in a bio-data linked to her official Twitter account.

Medical experts explain co-dependency as an emotional and behavioral condition that affects an individual’s ability to have a healthy, mutually satisfying relationship.

It is also known as “relationship addiction” because people with co-dependency often form or maintain relationships that are one-sided, emotionally destructive and/or abusive. The disorder was first identified about ten years ago as the result of years of studying interpersonal relationships in families of alcoholics.

Mental Health America explains that co-dependency often affects a spouse, a parent, sibling, friend, or co-worker of a person afflicted with alcohol or drug dependence.

Originally, co-dependent was a term used to describe partners in chemical dependency, persons living with, or in a relationship with an addicted person. Similar patterns have been seen in people in relationships with chronically or mentally ill individuals.

Mental Health America itemizes the following as the processes that highlight a co-dependent health condition:

What is a dysfunctional family and how does it lead to co-dependency?

A dysfunctional family is one in which members suffer from fear, anger, pain, or shame that is ignored or denied. Underlying problems may include any of the following:

An addiction by a family member to drugs, alcohol, relationships, work, food, sex, or gambling.
The existence of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

The presence of a family member suffering from a chronic mental or physical illness.

Dysfunctional families do not acknowledge that problems exist. They don’t talk about them or confront them. As a result, family members learn to repress emotions and disregard their own needs. They become “survivors.”

They develop behaviors that help them deny, ignore, or avoid difficult emotions.

They detach themselves. They don’t talk. They don’t touch. They don’t confront. They don’t feel. They don’t trust. The identity and emotional development of the members of a dysfunctional family are often inhibited.

Attention and energy focus on the family member who is ill or addicted. The co-dependent person typically sacrifices his or her needs to take care of a person who is sick. When co-dependents place other people’s health, welfare and safety before their own, they can lose contact with their own needs, desires, and sense of self.

How do co-dependent people behave?

Co-dependents have low self-esteem and look for anything outside of themselves to make them feel better. They find it hard to “be themselves.” Some try to feel better through alcohol, drugs or nicotine – and become addicted. Others may develop compulsive behaviors like workaholism, gambling, or indiscriminate sexual activity.

They have good intentions. They try to take care of a person who is experiencing difficulty, but the caretaking becomes compulsive and defeating. Co-dependents often take on a martyr’s role and become “benefactors” to an individual in need. A wife may cover for her alcoholic husband; a mother may make excuses for a truant child; or a father may “pull some strings” to keep his child from suffering the consequences of delinquent behavior.

The problem is that these repeated rescue attempts allow the needy individual to continue on a destructive course and to become even more dependent on the unhealthy caretaking of the “benefactor.”

As this reliance increases, the co-dependent develops a sense of reward and satisfaction from “being needed.” When the caretaking becomes compulsive, the co-dependent feels choiceless and helpless in the relationship, but is unable to break away from the cycle of behavior that causes it. Co-dependents view themselves as victims and are attracted to that same weakness in the love and friendship relationships.

Why is Aisha Buhari in the UK?

The preceding details have left room for the question: why is Aisha Buhari undertaking a counseling course in co-dependency in the United Kingdom after twenty-five years of marriage to her husband, President Buhari?

If the Alzheimer’s diagnosis and other health concerns of the President are accurate as informed sources have disclosed, this fits well into the pattern of a health crisis that could necessitate a co-dependent relationship in Nigeria’s first family.

Increasingly, the timing, location and manner in which Aisha Buhari has chosen to go public with the BBC interview have strengthened concerns from a wide section of the Nigerian public that there appears to be more than meets the eye.

As if to strengthen the growing concerns, President Buhari in an awkwardly crude reaction to Aisha’s BBC interview on Friday said in Germany before the global press at a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel that she (Aisha) “belongs to my kitchen, living room and the other room.”

Many Nigerians have taken to the social media to attack the President’s comments as misogynistic, comparing him to U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The development has added a new twist to the unfolding drama among the Buharis; concerns over the President’s health, rumours of divorce  and the reign of the Mamman Daura cabal in Aso Rock.

Aso Rock 'Co-Presidents' Pressure Buhari To Sack SGF, Babachir Over Alliance With Tinubu

Aso Rock 'Co-Presidents' Pressure Buhari To Sack SGF, Babachir Over Alliance With Tinubu

No comments
tinubu and babachir
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. Babachir David Lawal may have incurred the wrath of the cabals in the Aso Rock Presidential over loyalty and alliance with the embattled national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. Babachir David Lawal and the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been placed on a ‘political’ watchlist by some senior associates of President Muhammadu Buhari, report according to 247Ureport suggests

The development is reportedly linked to the SGF’s perceived support for Tinubu who has been fingered by some of the President’s associates as one of the frontline sponsors of the sustained campaign of divisive and inflammatory media attacks on Buhari; presidential aides particularly Chief of Staff to the President, Alhaji Abba Kyari and the president’s nephew, Alhaji Mamman Daura; cabinet members and members of APC National Leadership reportedly loyal to the President.


Kyari and Mamman Daura are so powerful at the presidency that some referred to them as co-President of Nigeria.

On Monday, October 11, 2016, the SGF, who initiated a meeting held in the conference room of the Office of the SGF in Abuja with APC stakeholders in Delta state, reportedly dismissed the national leadership of the party as tactless in resolving disputes in the Party.

The ‘APC Stakeholders’ meeting was reportedly convened by the SGF, Mr. Babachir David Lawal, without the consent and knowledge of the presidency and the APC national leadership.

The SGF’s outburst comes after his reported failed spirited bid to pressure the APC National Leadership to cancel the September 3, 2016 APC primaries that produced Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) as the Party’s Ondo State governorship candidate.

The SGF was before his appointment, the National Vice-Chairman, North-East.

Meanwhile, it is learnt that in a meeting held on Tuesday, the APC National Leadership was briefed on alleged anti-party activities by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The former Lagos state governor reportedly asked some APC members in Ondo state to move to the Alliance for Democracy (AD) after the alleged injustice meted to him.

Tinubu is believed to be supporting Chief Olusola Oke, a former governorship aspirant in Ondo APC, who recently defected to the AD with his supporters.

Tinubu’s frustration is informed by his candidate in the Ondo governorship primary. Dr. Olusegun Abraham losing out to Akeredolu.

“The President has been briefed on the activities or can I say alliance between the SGF Babachir David Lawal and Tinubu. We (presidency) are still studying the situation. This is politics, you don’t expect me to relay to you actions we will take. But I can tell you that the SGF has already noticed the body language of the president and has noticeably avoided meeting the president face to face.” A senior presidential aide who requested not to be mentioned because of the sensitivity of the matter disclosed to 247Ureports

Cabals Take Over Aso Rock FULLY As Buhari Battles Alzheimer’s Disease; The Top Secrets Why Aisha Kicks
SignalNG - Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari is battling what appears to be Alzheimer’s disease, SIGNAL can report.

The development, which has greatly impaired the President’s ability to remember serious matters of governance, has strengthened the takeover of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa by a cabal under the reins of Mamman Daura.

According to a top-level source who disclosed the details to SIGNAL, a recent meeting with President Buhari at the Aso Rock Villa showed how much the illness may have worsened in the last few months with the President needing a reminder over and over again to keep up with the details of an ongoing conversation.

The development is said to have created a situation where the President is technically no longer in control of serious governance decisions. According to the source who did not want to be named, Mamman Daura, a close confidant of the President has now assumed overwhelming control of the Buhari administration taking advantage of the President’s ailment.

“It is a really serious situation. It is looking like the President has now been caged and hijacked. He is not in control. Daura is the one handling most of the key issues. He is the one who manages the entire decision making process from who is listed and presented to the President for appointments, interpretation of key policy decisions and their implications to the President, and even who is targeted or penciled down for arrests or prosecution. It’s unbelievably shocking”, the source said.

The unfolding development corroborates an earlier report by SIGNAL in June 2016 which revealed details about how wife of the President Mrs. Aisha Buhari was being sidelined by the Daura cabal which had hijacked President Buhari’s government.

Buhari’s Alzheimer’s symptoms and a history of memory gaffes

According to medical experts, in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, a person may function independently. He or she may still drive, work and be part of social activities. Despite this, the person may feel as if he or she is having memory lapses, such as forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects.

Friends, family or neighbors begin to notice difficulties. During a detailed medical interview, doctors may be able to detect problems in memory or concentration. Common difficulties include:
  • Problems coming up with the right word or name
  • Trouble remembering names when introduced to new people
  • Having greater difficulty performing tasks in social or work settings
  • Forgetting material that one has just read
  • Losing or misplacing a valuable object
  • Increasing trouble with planning or organizing
In the run up to the 2015 presidential election, Nigerians witnessed a bizarre occurrence in how President Buhari then the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) became entangled in a series of memory, pronunciation and clear message errors. In one striking instance, President Buhari forgot the name of his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo addressing him instead as Prof. Yemi Osinbade.

In another shocking development, President Buhari on a live television interview with Al Jazeera forgot the full meaning of Nigeria’s electoral body the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), switching ‘Nigeria’ with ‘National’.

Similarly, in a meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House, President Buhari forgot the full meaning of APC, the acronym of his All Progressives Congress (APC) ruling party. This time, Buhari omitted the word ‘progressives’, adding ‘Nigeria’ and ‘people’ into the mix and describing his party as the All Nigeria Peoples Congress.


But President Buhari was not done yet as the litany of his memory loss gaffes saw a fresh replay in Europe, this time referring to the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, as “President Michelle” of “West Germany” during the G7 Summit in Germany.

A medical practitioner who spoke to SIGNAL on condition of anonymity disclosed that these errors provoke more than casual interest in claims that the President may actually be battling Alzheimer’s disease. “We must continue to pray for the well-being of Mr. President but I think it is in the public interest that citizens begin to call for a proper medical assessment of the fitness of the President for his own good and for the good of the country. Some of the signs are troubling and Nigerians should be concerned”, the medical practitioner said.  

A series of foreign trips and medical vacations

Although much of the President’s health challenges have been carefully shielded from the Nigerian public by presidential handlers, several media reports indicate that President Buhari’s frequent vacations and trips abroad since he assumed office in May 2015 are beyond official engagements but actually health-related.

In June 2016, President Buhari proceeded to London for 10 days for medical attention and what his handlers described as a vacation. The development raised concerns and fears over the President’s health. Presidential spokesperson Femi Adesina dismissed concerns about Buhari’s worsening health condition stating that the President was “fit as a fiddle.”

Recall that earlier in February 2016, Buhari also took a six-day vacation.

During the President’s trip to London in June 2016, there were reports that aside from seeing an E.N.T. specialist for a persistent ear infection, he was also placed on close medical observation for possible cancer treatment. In a closely related development, informed sources who did not want to be named told SIGNAL President Buhari has been reluctant to proceed on an extended medical leave that could take at least eight weeks to undergo a combination of medical procedures abroad.

“The extended medical leave would enable the President undergo an extensive procedure that will take at least eight weeks. His doctors abroad have advised he needs to undertake the procedure but the President has been reluctant because that would amount to his absence from office for at least two months. His close advisers think that would be too risky and they are trying to avoid a repeat of the Yar’Adua situation. So for now the doctors in Nigeria are administering treatments and whenever they observe an emerging complication, he is scheduled for a foreign visit where he goes on another round of medical check-ups abroad”, the source said.

A statement on Wednesday from the Nigerian Presidency announced that Buhari would be leaving for Germany on Thursday for a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The Presidency said Buhari would discuss with Merkel, matters relating to Boko Haram and the Nigerian economy.

Since his inauguration on May 29, 2015 Buhari has earned the record of Nigeria’s most traveled President within a time span of twelve months.

Mamman Daura cabal takes over Aso Rock, Aisha Buhari kicks

In the midst of growing concerns over President Buhari’s health, his inability to function effectively has paved way for the emergence of a new power bloc within the Villa. The cabal headed by Mamman Daura, a close relative and confidant of the President has maintained firm grip over the inner workings of the Buhari administration.

Mamman Daura is said to have usurped more powers than he should be wielding over the President, forcing the wife of the President Mrs. Aisha Buhari to raise her voice in dissent.

In June 2016, SIGNAL first broke the story of Aisha Buhari’s fears over how her husband the President was losing his hold on power due to his poor health condition and the rise of the Daura cabal within the corridors of power at the Aso Rock Villa.

In what appears to be her first courageous attempt to draw public attention to what is happening in the Villa, Mrs. Buhari told the Hausa Service of the BBC that people who did nothing to secure the election of her husband, the President, have taken over the government.

Although Mrs. Buhari hid under the cover of the ongoing crisis in the ruling APC to air her grievances, inside sources informed about the real power crisis at the Villa told SIGNAL Mrs. Buhari may have just taken the first step towards sending a message across to the Daura cabal in Aso Rock.

Cabals Take Over Aso Rock FULLY As Buhari Battles Alzheimer’s Disease; The Top Secrets Why Aisha Kicks
SignalNG - Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari is battling what appears to be Alzheimer’s disease, SIGNAL can report.

The development, which has greatly impaired the President’s ability to remember serious matters of governance, has strengthened the takeover of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa by a cabal under the reins of Mamman Daura.

According to a top-level source who disclosed the details to SIGNAL, a recent meeting with President Buhari at the Aso Rock Villa showed how much the illness may have worsened in the last few months with the President needing a reminder over and over again to keep up with the details of an ongoing conversation.

The development is said to have created a situation where the President is technically no longer in control of serious governance decisions. According to the source who did not want to be named, Mamman Daura, a close confidant of the President has now assumed overwhelming control of the Buhari administration taking advantage of the President’s ailment.

“It is a really serious situation. It is looking like the President has now been caged and hijacked. He is not in control. Daura is the one handling most of the key issues. He is the one who manages the entire decision making process from who is listed and presented to the President for appointments, interpretation of key policy decisions and their implications to the President, and even who is targeted or penciled down for arrests or prosecution. It’s unbelievably shocking”, the source said.

The unfolding development corroborates an earlier report by SIGNAL in June 2016 which revealed details about how wife of the President Mrs. Aisha Buhari was being sidelined by the Daura cabal which had hijacked President Buhari’s government.

Buhari’s Alzheimer’s symptoms and a history of memory gaffes

According to medical experts, in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, a person may function independently. He or she may still drive, work and be part of social activities. Despite this, the person may feel as if he or she is having memory lapses, such as forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects.

Friends, family or neighbors begin to notice difficulties. During a detailed medical interview, doctors may be able to detect problems in memory or concentration. Common difficulties include:
  • Problems coming up with the right word or name
  • Trouble remembering names when introduced to new people
  • Having greater difficulty performing tasks in social or work settings
  • Forgetting material that one has just read
  • Losing or misplacing a valuable object
  • Increasing trouble with planning or organizing
In the run up to the 2015 presidential election, Nigerians witnessed a bizarre occurrence in how President Buhari then the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) became entangled in a series of memory, pronunciation and clear message errors. In one striking instance, President Buhari forgot the name of his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo addressing him instead as Prof. Yemi Osinbade.

In another shocking development, President Buhari on a live television interview with Al Jazeera forgot the full meaning of Nigeria’s electoral body the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), switching ‘Nigeria’ with ‘National’.

Similarly, in a meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House, President Buhari forgot the full meaning of APC, the acronym of his All Progressives Congress (APC) ruling party. This time, Buhari omitted the word ‘progressives’, adding ‘Nigeria’ and ‘people’ into the mix and describing his party as the All Nigeria Peoples Congress.


But President Buhari was not done yet as the litany of his memory loss gaffes saw a fresh replay in Europe, this time referring to the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, as “President Michelle” of “West Germany” during the G7 Summit in Germany.

Aisha Buhari's Interview Unsettles Husband, CABALS In Aso Rock; Presidency 'Goes After' BBC; Here's The Audio Of The Interview

Aisha Buhari's Interview Unsettles Husband, CABALS In Aso Rock; Presidency 'Goes After' BBC; Here's The Audio Of The Interview

Aisha Buhari's Interview Unsettles Husband, CABALS In Aso Rock; Presidency 'Goes After' BBC; Here's The Audio Of The Interview
The viral interview granted by Aisha Buhari, the President's wife to the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC have reportedly unsettled President Muhammadu Buhari, the Cabals and his kitchen cabinet in the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, News Punch has reliably learnt.

According to the media report, the BBC Hausa Service is under intense pressure from President Muhammadu Buhari and members of his kitchen cabinet to pre-empt broadcast of the interview granted by his wife, Aisha Buhari.


The interview is due for broadcast on Saturday, but the President is said to have reached out to his wife, who is currently in London, to stop granting further interviews to the media.

In excerpts that have been widely reported in the media, Mrs. Buhari is quoted as saying that the President had ditched those who really worked for his victory in the 2015 election and is instead focusing on those that didn't participate.

The First Lady was expressing frustration with members of President Buhari's kitchen cabinet, particularly his nephew, Mamman Daura; and his powerful chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.  They are widely-held as having shunted aside those who worked tirelessly for President Buhari to come to power.

She also said the President did not know a majority of his ministers before appointing them to office.

SaharaReporters has also learnt that neither Daura and Kyari voted for Buhari in the last election.  A source knowledgeable about the inner situation at the Presidency said neither man possesses a voter’s card or is registered as a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Mrs. Buhari and other members of the APC are frustrated with the President because he has refused to make the changes expected of his government, and continues to empower his nephew to run roughshod on issues of governance. Mr. Daura is reportedly so powerful that Buhari’s ministers have to get his approval to get funds released for their projects.

Our sources gave the example of Daura’s influence when the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, got funds released to him for the Rio Olympics 2016 after he met and received the blessing of Mr. Daura.

Also recently, President Buhari promised several persons who complained to him about the corrupt elements in his government of plans to make changes, but he never did.  Of particular importance are Mr. Kyari and the Secretary to the Government, Babachir Lawal, who are accused of corrupt practices.   Also involved is Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele, on account of his handling of fiscal issues. 

President Buhari has disappointed many in his handling of these and other officers, and his wife of 25 years seems to be leading a revolt by voicing the concern of a majority of the president’s loyalists who feel he has mismanaged the country and the goodwill that followed him into office a year and a half ago. “What I am afraid for them is the rebellion of 15 million people,” says Mrs. Buhari at the end of the excerpt available to the public.

REVEALED: Buhari Often Skipped School And Was Always Flogged By Schoolmaster

REVEALED: Buhari Often Skipped School And Was Always Flogged By Schoolmaster

REVEALED: Buhari Often Skipped School And Was Always Flogged By Schoolmaster
TheCable - President Muhammadu Buhari was a reluctant student in his early years, John Paden, his authorised biographer, has revealed.

According to Paden, a professor of international studies, in his book, ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria’, Buhari often skipped school, which earned beatings by the schoolmaster.

He wrote that Buhari decided to take his studies seriously with the encouragement of Waziri al-Hassan and Mamman Daura.

“In part because of love for the outdoors, Buhari was a reluctant student in his early years. He would often skip school altogether, although this always resulted in beatings with a cane by the schoolmaster. Only with the encouragement of Waziri al-Hasan and Mamman Daura did he eventually settle down and take his studies seriously,” Paden wrote in chapter one under the subtitle: ‘Schooling and Leadership Values.’


However, he narrated how Buhari eventually became good at his studies and sports – and emerged the head boy of his secondary school.

“The early years of schooling were conducted in Hausa; thereafter, English was used. Buhari began to do very well in English, mathematics, and Arabic, as well general studies. Buhari also became involved in cross-country running, in which persistence and endurance were key,” Paden wrote.

“Buhari would spend nine years at boarding school, and fortunately he had good teachers.”

The president’s biographer also wrote that he exuded leadership qualities at a young age.

“The loss of his father at an early age was compensated for by British teachers who treated each student as if he was their own child. Buhari has often said that in the early days of his schooling, the British sent their best teachers out to northern Nigeria, not their worst. An American Peace Corps teacher in the school also impressed Buhari and the other boys with his love for biology,” he wrote.

“Most important, the simple student dress code meant that students looked much the same, except for an occasional student with a wristwatch. The British teachers made a point of disregarding the status of the fathers of the boys. Every boy had to make it on his own.

“The point became clearer when he was eighteen years old and entered a merit-based competiton, sponsored by the Elder Dempster shipping line, for selected secondary students to spend a summer holiday in Britain. At that time, many of the northern elite were sending their sons to the prestigious Barewa College, and it was not clear that Buhari had a chance against such competition.

“Buhari had been class monitor in second form. He was house prefect in fifth form. In sixth form, he was house captain and head boy of the school. His performance in his studies was excellent. But his leadership potential was outstanding. He was chosen for the summer scholarship to visit Britain.”

At Last, President Buhari Responds To Allegations That Mamman Daura Is The Real President And Not Him; Watch Video

At Last, President Buhari Responds To Allegations That Mamman Daura Is The Real President And Not Him; Watch Video

No comments
Buhari and Mamma Daura
President Muhammadu Buhari has debunked all speculations regarding who the true president of the nation is, saying he is the one who was elected by Nigerians. 

Speculations had continually been going around, that Mamman Daura, Buhari’s nephew, has been in charge of his presidency, with allegations that he shields the president from his aides and ministers.

Sahara Reports, a New York based online medium, had initially alleged that Daura was Buhari’s unofficial vice president, who wrote his controversial “Change begins with me” speech.


Senate President Bukola Saraki had also alleged that there was a government within Buhari’s government, adding that the government, which he termed a cabal, had taken over government.

In an interview with Osasu Igbinedion, Host of The Osasu Show, just after the UN General Assembly  in New York, the president was asked if the speculations were true that “Alhaji Mamman Daura is the true president”.

Buhari said: “That is what do you call them; that information reporters, sahara reporters, I don’t know where they get their news from.

“I stood for the election, I visited every local government in Nigeria, I travelled by road, by air, and so on, and we had one of the most credible election. So whoever feels he has lost somehow is his own problem, I have no problem.”

The president also gave a rundown of all he did as president at the United Nations general assembly, while highlighting a planned anti-corruption summit in US by 2017.
