Govt Appointees, Aso Rock cabals sabotaging Buhari, Tinubu’s election – Sources

By Precious Oham

The Concerned Stakeholders Forum All Progressives Congress (APC) has alleged that some government appointees are sabotaging the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Dominic Alancha, Convener of the forum said this at a news conference on Saturday in Abuja.

Alancha supported the claim by Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, that some individuals in government were sabotaging the good efforts of the Buhari-led administration.

He said it was clear that some government appointees whose appointments were celebrated had turned out to be the biggest disasters and saboteurs of the Buhari administration.

“Few months to the end of the tenure of his administration, this man has done nothing of the sort, thereby illiciting the anger of party faithful, especially the younger members.” he said.

Alancha also accused heads of some government agencies of bringing in their friends and allies to head different departments, saying they were hell-bent on undermining and sabotaging Buhari and the APC led administration.

“They are completely nonchalant about the party and the president’s legacy,” he said, adding that most parastatal were headed by none APC members.”

Meanwhile, Nigerian journalist, Jaafar Jaafar, Editor-in-Chief of Daily Nigerian, has identified the powerful Aso Rock insiders said to be against the emergence of All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as president.

In an interview with Sunday Punch, Jaafar named official and non-official associates of President Buhari as among the principal Aso Rock antagonists of Tinubu.

He said: “You see, I only talked about the key prominent voices and the power Sabiu Tunde wields, we can say that he is the major element against Tinubu’s presidency. He is on the President’s side and has so much power in the Presidency such that he can influence so many things much more than anyone else.

“I believe (Governor Nasir) El-Rufai does not want to give so much importance to a ‘small boy’. That’s why he didn’t actually mention the name. Sani Zangon Daura, he’s very close to the President also as I have said in that tweet; he influences a lot of things also, but suddenly he was seen going about campaigning for Atiku Abubakar; I think he was even in Jigawa State a couple of weeks ago to campaign for Atiku. It was so open that he is not hiding his choice.

“It is very baffling. At the initial stage, Tinubu was not their preferred candidate; they planned to impose Senator Ahmed Lawan and that plan failed. So, after the plan failed, they became aggrieved even after Tinubu emerged victorious; he didn’t get much support from them. Ahmed Lawan was their preferred candidate.”
