Former Police Commissioner and Elder statesman, Abubakar Tsav, has decried that President Muhammadu Buhari’s quiet nature, is the reason why things are bad in the country.
He said, ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo, would have stopped the rubbish going on in the Buhari led administration, were he to still be in power.
Speaking with Punch, Tsav described Buhari as a simple man who is patient and corrupt-free, but those working with him are taking undue advantage of his nature.
He said, “Buhari is a very good person. If Buhari were like Obasanjo, all the rubbish that is happening in this country, he would have stopped it but the man is a patient person. You see, they have been abusing him, calling him names, you would never hear him reply. He is doing his things quietly and he is honest; he is not corrupt.
“He has served as military governor, military head of state, minister of petroleum, PTF chairman and so on but he has not made money for himself. He lives a simple life and that’s how it should be. That is how a true leader should behave.”
On the real problem with Buhari government, Tsav said, “What everybody is complaining about is that he has a kitchen cabinet who are influencing his administration. Some people accused him of preference for his relations on jobs and other things. You see, everywhere in the world, people bring those closer to them that they can trust. If you don’t trust that person, how would you call that person to come and work with you because he will come and tell you a lie and he would go out and do a horrible thing.
“This is what happens everywhere. So if Buhari chooses his people who he has confidence in to work with him, I see nothing wrong with that because when I was a Commissioner of Police that time, my personal staff were people I had confidence in but they were not members of my family. They were not members of my tribe. I selected them from the police personnel who are just, honest and fair and people who could keep secrets.”
