Former Minister of Petroleum
Resources, Tam David-West, has claimed that President Muhammadu is used to the
military kind of leadership where he is seen as the “alpha and omega” and not
the democratic system.
David-West, explained that unlike
the military era where Buhari could take decisions, in the democratic
dispensation he had to think of the National Assembly and pressure groups
before making decisions.
Speaking with The Sun, the former
Minister said, “I am a die-hard Buhari fan, but I will not keep silent when I
see something that is wrong. There is no doubt that a lot of people are
suffering in this country, not caused by him, and some caused by him, but we
supporters too can make this inheritance argument for too long that it becomes
dull.
“We need a change and I know we
can make a change. So, I have this strong feeling that there is likelihood that
there will be drastic re-thinking of method of governance.
“He is not used to this type of set up. He is
working in a democratic system. If it was the military era, he would be alpha
and omega. So, if he is, things cannot be like this. But he has to think about
the National Assembly. He has to think about pressure groups.
“The problem with Buhari is that
he trusts, and when he trusts, he is a very honest person, he will find it
difficult to doubt you. I have been saying it, he has to look around himself
dispassionately.
“There are some people I do see
around him, that are not working for his interest; they are working for
themselves. They are not as clean as himself.
“Fortunately, I said this before,
his great wife has come out to say the jackals and hyenas around him would be
thrown out of the kingdom. And he has to do that if he has to get the steam
again.”
