Aso Rock Villa Boils: President Buhari’s PA, Yusuf, Mamman Daura, Aso Rock Cabal Gang Up Against Aisha Again!

With what is currently happening in Aso Villa, it is clear that the crisis in Nigeria’s seat of power in Abuja is just beginning as aides and close individuals to President Muhammadu Buhari have reportedly launched a massive offensive against his wife and First Lady of the country, Aisha.

Aisha allegedly incurred the wrath of the ‘cabal’, a group of powerful and almost untouchable individuals around Buhari, after her Aide De Camp and other security details forced her husband’s Personal Assistant, Saibu ‘Tunde’ Yusuf out of Aso Villa on Thursday after he refused to embark on a 14-day isolation period after a trip from Lagos.

Yusuf, according to findings was said to have been accosted by the Guards Commander of Aisha Buhari after he refused to quarantine upon returning from Lagos in company with five women.

He was said to have escaped into the apartment of Mamman Daura, Buhari’s uncle, around the Villa and had remained there ever since.

Piqued by the situation, it was gathered that Daura, Yusuf and other powerful individuals around Buhari initiated several meetings to get back at Aisha, whom they regarded as their common enemy in the Villa.

This is after Yusuf and Buhari’s Chief Security Officer had ordered the arrest of Aisha’s ADC and other security details.

A top Presidency source, who confirmed the latest development on Saturday, said, “The case has now escalated to a power tussle between remnants of the cabal including Mamman Daura, Isa Funtua, and Tunde Sabiu.

“Tunde was thoroughly reprimanded by the Guards Commander of Mrs Buhari after he refused to quarantine upon returning from Lagos with women.

“The PA claimed his trip was to visit his wife, daughter of NIMASA DG, who just delivered a baby.

  He was very rude to the president’s wife, if you know the boy, you’ll notice a glaring traits of pomposity and rudeness in his behaviour, he’s not beyond any form of reproach from the first lady”

“He reportedly secured special landing rights at the Lagos Airport from Hadi Sirika, Minister of Aviation.

“During the scuffle he scaled the fence and his guards actually fired the shots heard in the villa before he ended in the residence of Daura, who now lives on the periphery of the Aso Rock Villa having been driven out of the Glass House within the Villa by Aisha last year after a very bitter confrontation.

“Daura then summoned Isa Funtua to a meeting to discuss next steps on how to deal with Aisha’s latest excesses.

“They contacted the IG of Police, who initially declined, asking that the issue be handled by Villa officials, but he was warned to order the arrest of Aisha’s ADC.

“Tunde has remained in Mamman Daura’s house, refusing to enter isolation as directed by Aisha, while the ADC to Mrs Buhari and other aides remain in detention at the FCT command.

“Daura cannot bear having Yusuf out of the Villa for even one week because of how he protects his numerous interests”

Though Mrs Buhari had called on the Inspector-General of Police to release her security details, they remain in custody till this time.

There are fears that the matter could lead to a more serious crisis in the seat of power as the President is believed to be indecisive on which side to support “as he cannot joke with the individuals on the two sides of the divide.”
