Aisha Buhari Reveals Buhari's Fear of Being Labeled a Dictator in New Book

Aisha Buhari disclosed in a new book that her late husband, former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, refrained from sacking failed appointees during his presidency to avoid being perceived as a dictator. She highlighted concerns about a lack of significant changes in governance, a widening gap between power and reality, and the exclusion of loyal supporters in favor of politically aligned individuals.

Despite criticism, Aisha maintained that Buhari's inaction stemmed from a desire to avoid authoritarian perceptions. The revelations shed light on the dynamics within the Nigerian presidency during Buhari's tenure.
