INTERVIEW >>

Two years now, how can you assess the present administration?

President Buhari has done well. There are lots of saboteurs in Nigeria; he is surrounded by some people that claim to be sincere but they are not. I thank his wife for telling him the truth. Baba cannot do everything alone; Baba cannot control Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Information and so on. He puts ministers in all the ministries so that he can get results.

When somebody says he knows everything; that is the problem. Baba is not 100 per cent perfect because he is not an angel, he's not a saint and he's not God. He is bound to make one or two mistakes, and he should take advice in solving those mistakes. Baba is not taking some advices that are needed. But, I like Baba because he is not a thief. I can swear with my life that Baba is not a thief. He is not after accumulating wealth. Baba doesn't have a vehicle that is worth N50million. Baba is not after luxury; that's why I supported him. But what about the people that surround him. Are they like him?

Do you believe there is a cabal in this government?

Of course, yes.

Can you support somebody like Baba in 2019 at the expense of your ambition?

I have to tell you the truth; I don't think I would have to support anybody other than myself. I am not even going to support Baba Buhari.

Why would you not support him?

Baba should put eyes on those that are not sincere. If possible, he should change them and bring those who are ready to persevere just like him. Some are in his government to make what they want to make. The greatest corruption is even here now; some people are saying that this is the change you asked for.
