In politics there is no permanent enemy but interest. Hence, outgoing cabinet members of President Muhammadu Buhari have started courting President- elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Indication to this effect was given by Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to the President, Buhari, Garba Shehu, who revealed that some staff of the present administration have started to switch allegiance to the incoming government, a move he described as ‘human nature.’
According to him, it is very normal for people to switch allegiance but noted that the way with which people are switching their allegiance to the incoming administration is different from what ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan, experienced. This according to Shehu was because Jonathan was patriotic.
Speaking on Arise TV on Wednesday he said, “You can’t change human beings. So, the man of the moment obviously is the incoming president. So, you will expect people, who will come around him, but I think the case of Jonathan was different because I think again, there was desertion by a number of people around him who felt disappointed that he chose to be patriotic, nationalistic, and accepted defeat.
