Her account appeared in a new 600-page biography titled ‘From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari’, authored by Dr. Charles Omole and unveiled at the State House, Abuja, on Monday. “When asked to step aside for investigations, Buhari pleaded with the new government on behalf of his kinsmen, seeking to shield them from inquiry because he still depended on them for many personal matters,” read the 22-chapter book chronicling his early life in Daura, Katsina state, until his final hours in a London hospital in mid-July 2025. The former First Lady said the question that haunts the Buhari presidency remains “why weren’t those who ‘disappointed him—ministers who could not deliver, [service] chiefs who outlasted their prime—replaced?” She offered two reasons, saying advancing age and a sensitivity to the “dictator” label from the 1980s, which made him wary of being seen as ruthless. “As you age, performance changes,” she stated. He also feared the stigma, noting, “If I remove him, they will say I am this and that. The devil you know,” he would say. She argued that some around the president learned to exploit this hesitation, often invoking cautionary clichés that fed his reluctance. The former First Lady said, “Even if a man ‘eats,’ if he can still deliver 50 per cent, keep him; But if he both eats and cannot perform, then he must go.” Omole wrote that “This analysis by Aisha provides an additional angle on the children’s explanation for why Buhari was always reluctant to sack people. The family all agreed this was a fault in the Buhari government, but it is mitigated by the realism of the cabal’s manipulation of his emotions.” Since 2023, several senior officials from the Buhari era have faced scrutiny from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Former Accountant-General Ahmed Idris is being tried over an alleged N109bn fraud scheme to which he pleaded not guilty. Former Power Minister Saleh Mamman was arrested over an alleged diversion of about N22bn tied to Zungeru/Mambilla projects. Ex-Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika has been arraigned on contract-fraud counts linked to Nigeria Air and other deals, with charge sheets citing figures around N2.7bn in one case. Former Humanitarian Affairs Minister Sadiya Umar-Farouq has been questioned in a probe into N37.1bn in social-intervention spending; the ex-NSIPA DG, Halima Shehu, also faces a separate investigation over N44bn.
