Things have begun to fall apart in the Presidency, as Lawal Idris, a strong Ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, has declared that Mamman Daura, the “powerful nephew” of the President, controls the Presidency.
Idris in a chat with Daily Trust said: “As long as Buhari cannot get Mamman away from his side, his problem will continue.”
“Firstly, Mamman is a sadist and has no respect for anybody, not even Buhari. The problem is that the godfather never sleeps, which is Mamman Daura.
“When Buhari was sworn-in, he swore by the Qur’an that he would be fair and we believed him. He said he belonged to no one but I knew he belong to Mamman Daura; Abba Kyari and Mamman are failed bankers and failed industrialists.
“As at November, 2016, Abba was still a Director of Exxon Mobil; Abba is Buhari’s Chief of Staff, he is a member of the Board of Directors of NNPC what a super brainy, workaholic?
“And Abba is Mamman’s poodle; whatever Abba is doing, it is Mamman that controls it. I know it and they know that I know it and they know me very well”.
Idris insisted that even with Ministers and other government staff, Mamman still calls the shots in Nigeria.
“How did he (Buhari) get some of the ministers? Many were through Mamman Daura. How did he get some of the staff around him, it was through Mamman Daura.
“I am more than sure, Buhari knows I know and Mamman knows I know. I am an insider, not an outsider. I started this project (Buhari’s journey into politics) because of the faith I had in Buhari.
“Mamman Daura is just a joke. He never wanted Buhari’s Presidency, because a week after Buhari was sworn-in, on Friday, we met at a mosque here in Kaduna.
”I walked to Mamman to greet him; there was this confidence that had taken a better part of him like he is now Mr President. Mamman told me that he and Mahmud didn’t like Buhari’s presidency. And I said ‘ranka ya dade’, you don’t like it’ and he said “yes”.
“I was surprised and he saw the surprise on my face. He just changed the topic and said “you know uncle (Buhari) does not like politicians and politicians don’t like him”. I said sir, but election has been won.
“Whether politicians like it or not, whether Buhari likes it or not, he has to work with politicians and politicians have to work with him for the betterment of our country. For me, God has given me what I wanted.
“When Mamman told me that, I offered suggestions on even the way to get finances for the party. I said the way they were going was not the way they should. Now there is no APC in a way and Buhari is ill. Luckily Buhari has a very good vice president”.
Mamman Daura is believed to be one of those Aisha, Buhari’s wife, said did not participate in her husband’s campaign, but was now in control of the government.
Mamman is the son of Buhari’s elder brother, and three years older than the President he still calls “uncle”.
He 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 the Editor of New Nigerian in the 1970s.
