Former President Muhammadu Buhari has said his eight-year administration might have been hijacked by a cabal.
Buhari said this while speaking in a recent interview with the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA.
Speaking on the possibility of losing the grip of power to a cabal, the ex-president said the insinuations were possible.
You will recall that the former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, first raised the allegation in 2016, but her husband played it down.
But when the question was asked again during the NTA interview, Buhari said, “it must have been.”,
He, however, added that he was not sure anyone who breached the law was allowed to “walk away.”
Buhari said he did not try to compete with Nigeria’s wealthy class by acquiring land, houses and cars during his time as Nigeria’s leader, explaining that it was the reason he was “living in peace” after exiting government.
He argued that some Nigerians attempted to set a trap for him by trying to ambush him with certain opportunities, but that he avoided the trap because he knew that once they knew he had been compromised, they would take advantage of the situation to milk the country
