Of course there are some people
that can influence the decisions of the leader of the nation as nobody can rule
alone.
Here is a compiled seven most
significant politicians in President Mohammadu Buhari’s life.
These personalities are very close to the office of
Nigerian leader. They set the speed and dictate the tune of what will happen to
the country in the years of this government together with the president.
1. Femi Adesina
Femi Adesina
The presidential media aide is known as the image
maker of President Buhari. Adesina is there to defend Buhari’s decision and
indecisions and also attack the“wailing wailers” of Nigerian youths as
well as the opposition, just as Reuben Abati put it forward for the immediate
past president Goodluck Jonathan.
The president personally said that he
chose Adesina to always defend him against his fellow journalists.
2. Garba Shehu
Garba Shehu
One more special assistant on media and publicity is
working in in agreement with the office of Buhari as a PR and signals every
actions of the administration to the public. Shehu has no much story to tell
than press releases putting much shoulder on the young and vibrant Adesina.
Garba’s role is to assist on how best to react to
media issues and respond on general matters as it concerns the presidency not
issuing statements on Buhari’s official engagements as we’ve been seeing.
3. Nasir El-Rufai
Governor Nasir
El-Rufai
The incumbent governor of the Kaduna state is the key
political adviser of President Buhari. El-Rufai reportedly screened list of the
ministerial appointees before the submission of the list to the National
Assembly.
El-Rufai was a young man just starting his quantity
surveying consulting business when GMB emerged as the Head of State of Nigeria
in 1983.
4. Bayo Omoboriowo
Bayo Omoboriowo
Young boy has already achieved amazing success
becoming the official photographer of Nigerian president.
He is always everywhere with Buhari and doing a good
business for the image and appearance of the leader of the nation everywhere he
goes.
Bayo’s life is teaching young people that if they have
a dream and follow it, everything is possible and doable.
5. Yemi Osinbajo
Yemi Osinbajo
Professor Osinbajo is the 2nd citizen of Nigeria and
so it is predictable that he will be in charge of the economic situation. This
sector serves as the life wire of the country.
The executive functions of the Nigerian vice president
comprises participation in all cabinet meetings and, by statute, membership in
the National Security Council, the National Defence Council, Federal Executive
Council, and the Chairman of National Economic Council.
Although the vice president may take an active role in
establishing policy in the Executive Branch by serving on such committees and
councils, the relative power of the Nigerian vice president’s office depends
upon the duties delegated by the president.
When the president is away from country he substitutes
him.
6. Major-General Tukur Buratai
Major-General
Tukur Buratai
The Chief of Army Staff in Buhari’s cabinet. He comes
from Borno state, the ‘home’ of the militant sect Boko Haram.
Buratai is expected to help the president stop the
insurgency in the North East and bring glory to the nation at the international
scene in the fight against terrorism.
General Buratai becomes one more northerner appointed
by President Buhari.
7. Rotimi Amaechi
Rotimi Amaechi
An embattled ex-governor of Rivers state is a close
associate of President Buhari and his moral burden. His screening as a minister
for Buhari’s cabinet has been postponed several times because of accusation of
corruption. However, Amaechi was finally confirmed and predicted as a minister
for Niger Delta Affair.
The former governor was director
general of the Buhari’s campaign organisation, a position he got after he was
apparently passed over as nominee for the vice president slot.
