Former First Lady Aisha Buhari has offered insight into why her late husband, ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, was reluctant to dismiss underperforming ministers and aides during his tenure.
According to revelations in a recent biography, Aisha explained that Buhari's advanced age played a significant role in his decision-making.
He reportedly feared that frequent sackings could portray him as a dictator, especially given his military background and past as a former head of state.
The biography highlights that this reluctance extended even after his presidency, as Buhari later intervened on behalf of some former allies facing investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Several senior officials from his administration have since been probed for alleged fraud, including cases involving billions of naira in diverted funds.
Aisha's comments add a personal perspective to longstanding discussions about Buhari's leadership style, noting that he often protected appointees who might otherwise have faced greater scrutiny.
This disclosure comes amid reflections on Buhari's legacy, with the former president remembered for his cautious approach to personnel changes despite public calls for cabinet reshuffles during his eight-year rule.
