President Muhammadu Buhari may have serious problems as he is reportedly caged by eight powerful men.
Chief Mbazulike Amechi, a frontline nationalist, revealed this in the interview granted to the Daily Sun Newspaper in Ukpor, Anambra state.
An elder statesman said that there are eight powerful men within Buhari’s cabinet and his party, All Progressives Congress (APC) who may act as interference to his plans and government.

He stated that the country is at war and should be in a “declared or undeclared state of emergency” in order to oppose the forthcoming war.
Amechi said that if he met President Buhari he would tell him the following: “I will tell him, my dear General, sorry Mr President, are you not worried about the state of the country, which we handed over to you on a platter of gold in May last year? What I will tell him depends on his attitude to the situation. I am not near enough to know how free he is because you may have a president who is shackled by lieutenants and colleagues in the party. And he, being a military man more than a politician may not understand the game very well. There are some people who get rich in the midst of crisis.
“There are people who are empowering themselves by the present chaotic situation in the country. And if such people encircle a president, that president is in serious trouble. I don’t know if Buhari is in that state now. But there are some people even outside his cabinet who are very powerful. They have stolen so much money in this country that if he doesn’t take care they might even do something to him. There are such people. There are eight of them in his government; in his political party, who are so powerful in every way that if he doesn’t take their way they will do something to him.”
Amechi doubted the capacity and ability of President Buhari to change Nigeria saying that his government may lead to “imminent total collapse of the nation.”

He also stated that the major cog in the wheel of progress in the fight against corruption is that “there is corruption in Buhari’s government.”
Amechi boasted of the rare privilege of being a witness and participant in the Nigerian story, right from independence in 1960, through, civil war, army dictatorships and back to civilian rule. He also had the remarkable honour of hosting Nelson Mandela, when he came for consultations with some Nigerian nationalists during the period of struggle against apartheid.
