That President Muhammadu Buhari fired his Chief Security Officer, Abdulrahman Mani recently is no longer news. But we can tell you for free why the no nonsense retired Army General turned civilian president kicked Mani out of Aso Rock.

Sources said the sacked CSO did certain things to undermine the president. We were told it was Mani who leaked the president’s trip to Britain to the former minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke when he was president elect.

Our sources said the president was shocked to see the former minister sitting right behind him in the same flight to London and she was said to have tried to start a conversation with him but he politely exchanged pleasantries with her and kept to himself throughout the six hours flight to London.

We gathered the then Petroleum Minister desperately wanted to seek audience with the incoming president to defend herself in the face of several financial allegations against her by her detractors who were bent on seeing her sent to prison.

That’s not all; we gathered that Mani and Widi Liman, the administrative officer to the president have allegedly turned securing an appointment with President Buhari into a business venture. When the disciplined president got to know their alleged racket, he fired both of them.

Insiders said Mani an official of the Department of State Security (DSS) equally had a power tussle with Lt. Col. Mohammed Abubakar, the ADC to the president over the role of DSS operatives in Aso Rock.

Well, our sources said Mani has been moved to Ebonyi State while Wadi Liman is to be posted.
