Isa Funtua, an associate of
President Muhammadu Buhari, says he is not a member of any cabal but a “cabal
myself.”
Funtua, who hails from Katsina
like the president, is among those whom critics of the Buhari administration
refer to as the cabal.
At various times, Aisha, wife of
the president, has said her husband’s government had been hijacked by some of
his associates.
In an outburst in December, the
wife of the president accused Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, of not being
loyal to her husband but “to others who have no stake in the compact that the
president signed with Nigerians on May 29, 2015 and 2019.”
Funtua accused people of using
the term cabal in a derogatory manner, saying the president is free to have
people he trusts around him.
“I’m not a member of any cabal,
I’m cabal myself,” he said.
“What is cabal? In short I think
it means kitchen cabinet, people that you trust. People you believe will not
deceive you, that they can do things in the interest of the country.
“Nigerians are using it in a
derogatory term not in the real meaning of it. Take dictionary, what is the
real meaning of cabal?
When asked that first lady had
alleged that cabal exists in the presidency, he said: “Please, let me hear
word, I beg you.”
