Nigerians have expressed worry over the president’s continued silence on the allegation by the National Security Adviser (NSA), Maj-General Babagana Monguno (rtd), that Abba Kyari has illegally taken over the official responsibilities of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The citizens were astonished by the startling revelation of the alleged surrogate role being played for Buhari by Kyari, who is the president’s chief of staff.
The report published in an online medium last Monday exposed the underbelly of bad blood within the presidency. In a leaked memo purportedly written by Monguno, he accused Kyari of undue interference on matters bordering national security, among other allegations.
Curiously, there has been no official communication and the presidency has kept mum over the matter since it broke last
Monday. Neither of the presidential spokesmen, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, could be reached to comment on the matter.
The duo did not also reply to text messages sent to them for reaction by The Guardian.
Curiously too, other cabinet members have refrained from voicing their opinion over the saga still in the public domain.
