There’s no cabals in Buhari’s government – Garba Shehu

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu has denied existence of cabals in Buhari’s kitchen cabinet.

He reacted in an interview on Arise TV on Monday to beliefs by some Nigerians that cabals have hijacked Buhari’s government.

The spokesman insisted that President Bubari has always been in charge of his government.

“This is contrary to widespread belief that there was a ‘cabal’ behind the scene pulling the strings.”

Garba spoke few days after President Muhammadu Buhari featured on Arise TV and NTA in an interview where he spoke on quite a number of issues.

“Yes, he has always been (in control) but there has been misperception and propaganda.”

“By his own personal style, President Buhari is not too forward and he has not been frontal on many aspects. It is certainly not a sign of lack of effectiveness or that one is not in charge.”

“People had yearned for him to speak to Nigerians and they have advocated for this including the national parliament, passing resolutions and there he was speaking as President Buhari, nothing artificial about him.

“The largest section of Nigerians are satisfied and happy to having seen the president animated, real life, capable and exuding that confidence and capability to govern well”.
