Reports went wild yesterday that the former NSA Sambo Dasuki alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari was among those that benefited from the Security deal spending.
According to Dasuki’s office, General Muhammadu Buhari collected $300,000 initial payment as compensation over Boko Haram’s attack on him. His Bullet proof car that worth millions was also replaced with new ones by Dasuki.
The presidency through the Special Assistant to the Presidency on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina has however admitted that Buhari received two SUVs from Dasuki in the aftermath of the attack on his convoy in Kaduna last year. He insisted that the vehicles were in keeping with the President’s entitlement as a former Head of State and as such was not a corrupt or illegal practice.
In his words:
“President Buhari had in keeping with his austere, spartan and frugal disposition shunned most of his entitlements as a former Head of State, but was prevailed upon by his supporters to accept the two vehicles for his personal safety in the aftermath of the dastardly attempt to assassinate him.
“It is preposterous to think that the President will allow his acclaimed reputation of honesty and incorruptibility to be tarnished by accepting a questionable monetary compensation from a discredited regime.”
Nigerians have however taken to the social media to express their opinion on what is now termed #BuhariGate:
The best tweet so far on the revelation of #BuhariGate “Buhari ate water yam.” #DasukiGate http://pic.twitter.com/oBp86spkaF

The greatest hypocrisy is to shun Council of State meetings and clandestinely receive 2 jeeps from the same State you shunned. #BuhariGate

If you collected money from Dasuki and you haven’t been named yet, just relax. Like Wande Coal said: “Ashimapeyin koti kan yin.” #BuhariGate — Comedy Central (@NoLongerCrazy) December 16, 2015
From #DASUKIGATE to #BUHARIGATE. I warned that this revelations will be messy. There are no saints in politics. It’s a game of chance.

They met in their Whatsapp group & agreed “let’s use #BuhariGate to save Dasuki.” Awon ode! You think Twitter is the one prosecuting him?

Now that the #DasukiGate is now #BuhariGate as confirmed by the futile/impotent defense of @FemAdesina can we allow the court to work?!
