JUST IN: Abba Kyari: Garba Shehu kicked out of Aso Rock, says Kanu

Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu 

The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has claimed that Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has chased Garba Shehu, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity out of Aso Rock.

In a similar claim, Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan in a tweet said Garba Shehu was not briefed about the appointment of a new Chief of Staff because he is now perceived as the head of the late Kyari’s ‘Cabal’ and has now become an enemy to Buhari’s wife, Aisha.

.@GarShehu did NOT deny Ibrahim Gambari’s appointment as Chief of Staff. He merely said he has not been ‘briefed’. Since Kyari’s death, Garba has not had full access in the villa. His closeness to the Kyari led cabal made him a natural enemy to @AishaMBuhari#BuhariTormentor

He said, "GarShehu did NOT deny Ibrahim Gambari’s appointment as Chief of Staff. He merely said he has not been ‘briefed’. Since Kyari’s death, Garba has not had full access in the villa. His closeness to the Kyari led cabal made him a natural enemy to @AishaMBuhari#BuhariTormentor

Aisha Buhari had late last year claimed that Garba Shehu was no longer loyal to her husband, adding that the presidential aide had shifted his loyalty to a close relative of Buhari, Mamman Daura, who she accused of issuing a presidential directive behind the President.

Aisha had alleged that Daura was issuing directives to Garba Shehu, not to recognize her office.




Amid reports that President Muhammadu Buhari will announce his new Chief of Staff later today(Wednesday), Kanu said that Aisha has already chased Shehu out of the Presidential Villa and this now compels him to wear visitor’s tag.

“Now she is the Boss! Garba Shehu chased out of The Villa and made to wear visitor’s tag when visiting,” Kanu said on Facebook.

“Nigerians- sorry UTPs, I give you your newest unelected ruler, Her Excellency, Madam President Aisha Buhari.



“She succeeded the late and equally unelected ‘President’ Abba Kyari. Jubril Al-Sudani the poster boy is in hiding. #AsoRockIsEmpty. After COVID-19, to your tents O’Israel.”
