Mohammed, while speaking to Punch after the announcement of the new SGF, said that there is no need for any celebration as the new SGF is closely related to the old SGF.

He said: “Before you begin to celebrate the appointment of Boss Mustapha as the new SGF, do you know that he is in fact, Babachir Lawal’s first cousin? This is a continuation of the cronyism and nepotism the Buhari-led administration has become infamous for."
