The security situation in the Northwest and Central areas was a source of grief for the late president, according to Ibrahim Gambari, who was chief of staff to Buhari.
Gambari said Buhari was pained by his inability to do more on security before leaving office.
Guest starring in Channel 4’s Politics On Monday, Gambari praised Buhari for eliminating Boko Haram from all areas.
The legacy of the Buhari administration was another topic he covered while in office.
Sadly, some cabals tell the president what he needs to hear, rather than what he needs to know, claims Gambari. They are present in all governments.
The chief of staff is likely simply one of many sources of information available to the president; perhaps the most important, but certainly not the only one.
“Don’t forget that President Buhari is only the second former Head of State to become a democratically elected president, the first being Obasanjo, whose constituency was the military.
Actually, he was really troubled by the fact that he couldn’t do more to address the security situation before to his departure.
He accomplished much by ensuring that no area was under Boko Haram’s control, but he was very troubled by the situation in the Central and Northwest regions.
“I have done everything I can for these people,” he declared at one point. I am also unaware of any information that he may have gotten that I was not privy to.
