On the other hand, the Buhari cabal at the villa, led by Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and Buhari’s powerful cousin, Mamman Daura, who are said to be solidly behind Maikanti Baru, the NNPC Group Managing Director, in his determination to whittle down Kaichukwu’s influence.

For instance, last Friday, the same day Buhari refused to meet Kachikwu, they had Baru attend Jumaat prayers with the President. They also decided that Baru should go all out to debunk all the concerns Kachikwu raised in the leaked memo, which is exactly what the GMD did this morning, audaciously asserting that he does not need NNPC’s board approvals for actions he took on companies chosen for crude oil lifting. Kachikwu reportedly recommended four of the companies that were chosen by Baru.

Last week Thursday, Senate President Bukola Saraki was brought into the matter by members of the cabal led by Isah Funtua, who met with Mr. Saraki at a guest house to discuss how best to stay with Baru in his fight.

Saraki reportedly told them that Baru had been uncooperative by letting one go of the companies he nominated to lift crude during Mr. Kachikwu’s time at the NNPC. The Senate had been swift in demanding an investigation of Baru after Kachikwu’s letter was leaked.  Sources told SaharaReporters that the cabal assured Saraki he will be taken care of by the NNPC in subsequent awards.
