Former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, says old friends and extended family members of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari exploited his weaknesses while he was in office.
Aisha said her late husband was vulnerable to various forms of scheming and manipulation by extended family members and old friends.
The former first lady disclosed this in the biography, “From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari,” authored by Charles Omole.
Mrs Buhari said her late husband was deeply fond of his extended family members and old friends, a disposition they allegedly took advantage of.
The book quoted Aisha as saying, “With most of her children living and studying abroad early in Buhari’s first term, extended family members filled the void and occupied houses across the Villa.
“And because of his fondness and attachment to his extended family and old friends, Buhari was vulnerable to all kinds of scheming and manipulations.
“Those who knew his weaknesses exploited them to the detriment of the lofty goals of his administration.”
