Analyst speaks on cabals in Buhari's government
Reacting to the revelation, Omotayo Yusuf, a political commentator, in an interview with Legit.ng, said that the revelation by the former president's daughter exposed the weak system Nigeria operates. He said:
"The revelations by Buhari’s daughter, that forged signatures, people taking charge of his presidency, are not surprising. It sort of reflects some of the things wrong with our system, where cabals, if not as powerful as individuals, who are elected by the people."
Nigerians react as Buhari's daughter speaks
However, the revelation by the former president's daughter has started generating reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their reactions:
Adebanji faulted the cabals around the late president:
"The cabal around this man really messed him up - not just politically, but personally. They planted fear and suspicion so deep that he no longer trusted his own space, his own wife, his own children or even his own voice. When a president begins to communicate with his daughter through written notes out of fear, then leadership has already been hijacked.
"This wasn’t leadership by conviction; it was leadership by paranoia engineered by those who wanted power without accountability. While Buhari was isolated and distracted, the country was looted, institutions were weakened and ordinary Nigerians paid the price. A president who couldn’t speak freely couldn’t govern freely. In the end, Nigeria wasn’t just ruled by one man, it was held hostage by an unseen cabal that thrived on fear, secrecy and confusion."

Goodnews Abua called for the probing of the allegation:
"They can trace such people and get them arrested. Which ministry is the documents coming from? This thing can be investigated."
McShayzee praised Fatima's claim:
"Fatima just dey expose them Na why Ishaka dey cry since yesterday be this."
A.A. commented:
"Keep exposing the incompetence of your father while he is in a grave in order to serve some vested interests."

Tinubu, Atiku battle for Buhari's supporters
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu and the former vice president Atiku Abubakar were making moves to inherit the political dynasty of the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari.
This is due to the recent moves by the two political gladiators, which threw up a dramatic shift ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
Currently, the question is not about who will inherit Buhari's legacy but how deep the loyalty may shift and affect the 2027 presidential election.
