It has been reported that the cabal has sidelined the President’s wife, Aisha Buhari in the management of her husband’s health and that they are the ones that saw to the arrival of three medical doctors to Aso rock on Thursday, May 4 to treat him instead of traveling abroad for medical treatment.
Below are a few names that have been mentioned to be part of the cabal .
1.) Mamman Daura
He is the president’s Nephew and his often described by associates as “extremely intelligent and brilliant”.
Daura was a journalist and an industrialist, serving as head of the African International Bank and also chairman of the board of the Nigerian Television Authority.
According to John Paden in his book ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria’, it was him along with Waziri al-Hassan (Buhari’s foster father), that encouraged Buhari, a reluctant student in his early years, “to settle down and take his studies seriously”.
It was also Daura that “strongly encouraged” Buhari to join the military in 1961.
The book notes that Daura remains “life-long inspiration and confidant to Buhari” who guided him all through his formative years.
Buhari came out last year to deny claims that Mamman Daura was the one running the country not him.

Apart from the traditional roles of a Chief of Staff, Buhari made it mandatory that ministers must go through Kyari if they desired any contact with him.
He is also known for his bluntness.
