The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, insists that President Muhammadu Buhari is not in charge of his Government. Instead, they allege, he is being controlled by some Cabals in his Government.
The AYCF President General, Yerima Shettima, made this disclosure during the week, saying the President needs to take charge.
Shettima stated that “a team of cabals” is in charge of the APC-led government, and not Buhari.
In an earlier response to such allegations as made by the AYCF, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, had said that President Buhari was in full control, and that there cannot be anyone too powerful for him to control.
“The President is in absolute control of his government. The media should stop attributing non-existent powers to some people. There cannot be anyone too powerful for President Buhari to control,” the statement had read.
However, Shettima disagrees with Shehu.
According to Shettima: “I totally disagree. From the day this present cabinet was formed and Buhari asked his ministers to report to his Chief of Staff, I knew he’s not in charge of this government.
“What do you expect when they choose to tell Buhari what he wants to hear and deprive him of what he is supposed to know. Something is wrong somewhere.
“It’s high time patriotic Nigerians all came together, irrespective of where we come from, and protect our democracy because it is being been threatened.”
