President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Washington DC warned close aides
not to smuggle anyone into his official meetings with US officials.

Sources
said he gave the warning during a breakfast meeting at his Blair House
official digs in Washington DC, telling them any infractions will result
with the person involved being fired with immediate effect.

President
Buhari told them the purpose of his visit was not to meet with Nigerian
businessmen or politicians, but with US officials and Nigerians in the
Diaspora.

During the tense meeting, at which eight of the aides
were present, Buhari directed the Department of 

State Protocol in Abuja
to open a desk at the Aso Rock Villa that would facilitate direct access
to him if any Nigerian wants to see him in Nigeria. He said the desk
will eliminate the role of corrupt officials, middlemen and family
members who profit from selling access to the Presidency.

SaharaReporters
could not ascertain how many Nigerian businessmen have arrived in
Washington with the intention of seeking meeting opportunities with
Buhari, but a source told our reporters that controversial and
flamboyant businessman, Terry Waya, A.C Okafor, chairman of Chicason
group as well as Senator Ifeanyi Ararume, have been seen around Buhari’s
delegation.
