The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has claimed that First Lady, Aisha Buhari, is now the new unelected president of Nigeria.

AFNews recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday appointed Professor Ibrahim Gambari as his new Chief of Staff to replace the late Abba Kyari who died from coronavirus complications.

Buhari’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, had told Daily Post he had not been briefed about the appointment of Gambari when contacted on Tuesday.

Reacting, Nnamdi Kanu also claimed that Aisha Buhari has chased Garba Shehu out of the Presidential Villa.

This online news platform recalls that the Aisha Buhari had late last year claimed that Garba Shehu was no longer loyal to President Buhari, adding that the presidential aide had shifted his loyalty to a close relative of Buhari, Mamman Daura, who she accused of issuing a presidential directive behind the President.

Aisha Buhari had also alleged that Mamman Daura was issuing directives to Garba Shehu, not to recognize her office.

In a Facebook post, Nnamdi Kanu wrote: “Now she is the Boss! Garba Shehu chased out of The Villa and made to wear visitor’s tag when visiting.

“Nigerians- sorry UTPs, I give you your newest unelected ruler, Her Excellency, Madam President Aisha Buhari.

“She succeeded the late and equally unelected ‘President’ Abba Kyari. Jubril Al-Sudani the poster boy is in hiding. #AsoRockIsEmpty. After COVID-19, to your tents O’Israel.”
