Ex-DSS DG Reveals Why Buhari Refused to Name Successor Ahead of 2022 Elections
In a new book titled "Soldier Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari," authored by Dr. Charles Omole, former DSS DG Yusuf Bichi explains that Buhari's decision not to publicly endorse a successor ahead of the 2022 presidential election was to prevent internal crises within the APC. Buhari aimed to safeguard lives, maintain party unity, and distribute political risks among aspirants.
The book sheds light on the security-driven strategy behind Buhari's silence on naming a successor, emphasizing the need to avoid destabilizing the party and endangering individuals. Buhari's approach was to absorb criticism rather than risk party destabilization.
