Fresh tension in Presidency as service chiefs, ministers scare as Magu falls after Oshiomhole.

There are arising indications of noticeable fear devouring some principal officers in the presidency and several political designees as the new Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, heightens reform to reset the Buhari administration. Gambari’s appointment as CoS to the President reported of emerging fear in the presidency over the possible reorganization of the government by the emergent Cheif of Staff, wherein some political designees may be fired.

The Chief of Staff was appointed by the President after the death of Abba Kyari had begun his latent reform with relative reorganization in the presidency, restoring the role of the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, which was hitherto usurped by the late Chief of Staff, Kyari. Prof. Gambari replenished the reporting line of the service chiefs through the NSA to President Buhari. This was formerly taken over by late Kyari, who through the media aides to the president made a report of activities in the presidency. The post-Kyari meetings of the service chiefs with President Buhari were organized and later published to the public by Monguno.

Also, the disposal of the All Progressives Congress (APC)  national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, after obvious abuse of powers and arbitrary use of the party systems to fight personal political wars indicated that President Buhari is beginning to receive wise advice in the presidency. There was no room for standstill as in the past.

Then, the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, whose confirmation was opposed by the Eight Senate based on corruption accusation by the Department of Security Service (DSS) report, fell to reports of corruption partly raised by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

Magu is still undergoing questions on the several corruption allegations hanging on his neck. Meanwhile, he has been suspended from office.

Prof. Gambari brought in experienced civil service culture into the presidency since his appointment and has been working assiduously to reset the Buhari administration and reorganize the federal government for outstanding achievement.

Sources from the presidency disclosed that more political designees may fall in successive searchlight. There was a hint that some political players allegedly induced their nomination using money to lobby their ways for ministerial appointments into the federal cabinet. Some were declared to have made extra monetary enticement for specific portfolios. These among other alleged malpractices were revealed to be looked into in the latent reform to clean and change course the Buhari government.

The service chiefs whom most Nigerians overtime requested their retirement for failure to contain the rising insecurity in the country may be under strict study, according to a presidency source. The source further disclosed that the leaked memo of the NSA, Monguno, to President Buhari in 2019 before the death of Abba Kyari is being studied towards reviewing the activities of the different arms of the Nigerian military.

The consequence of the process remains unstable. It was said that while some may survive the reviews, some may not.

There was an indication that there are no limitations to which the ongoing reform through the presidency can go.
