Indications have emerged that President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Boss Mustapha as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), may have been tactically done to compensate disgraced former SGF, Babachir Lawal.
A member of House of Representatives during the Second Republic, and well known critic of Buhari, Dr Junaid Muhammed, on Monday alleged that the new SGF is a first cousin to Babachir Lawal.
“Before you begin to celebrate the appointment of Boss Mustapha as the new SGF, do you know that he is in fact, Babachir Lawal’s first cousin? This is a continuation of the cronyism and nepotism the Buhari – led administration has become infamous for,” Muhammed was quoted to have told a news platform.
Mohammed, a politician from Kano State, has remained a firece critic of Buhari’s administration. He had also some time ago accused Buhari of nepotism and listed several of his appointments to support his claims.
Among the appointments for which he accused Buhari of nepotism earlier include that of his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari; a Personal Assistant to Buhari; the State Chief of Protocol; the Minister for the Federal Capital Territory, Musa Bello; Sabiu Yusuf, a PA to President Buhari; Amina Zakari, a national commissioner in the Independent National Electoral Commission, among others.
The Presidency is yet to publicly deny these allegations.
