My father’s secretary, Tunde Sabiu had too much power in presidency – Buhari’s daughter

One of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughters has made a surprising comment about the internal workings of her father’s administration. She said that Tunde Sabiu, who served as Buhari’s personal secretary, held too much power within the presidency and often had more influence than many people realised.

According to her, the former aide was involved in many decisions and had strong control over access to the president. This, she claimed, sometimes created tension and limited transparency inside the presidential office. Her comments have sparked conversations about how power was managed behind the scenes during Buhari’s time in office.

She explained that her intention was not to attack anyone personally but to point out how informal power structures can grow within government when one individual becomes too influential. She added that such situations can affect accountability and the smooth running of public institutions.

The statement has drawn mixed reactions from the public. While some Nigerians believe it confirms long-held suspicions about how the presidency was run, others argue that it is unfair to judge individuals without full details. Still, the comments have reopened discussions about governance, power balance, and transparency in leadership.
