"It's up to you if you think that you are comfortable now, things are going to be easy now, they tell you that you can do whatever you like, you can do what Buhari or worse than what Buhari did with his one-sided appointments, so you too can do your one-sided appointments, you are not Buhari, know that.

"Buhari had a core followership, you do not have. You do not have that sort of core followership. If there are core followers, we are your core followers. Those people who are now around, benefitting, making appointments, taking decisions, they were afraid to stand by you.
