A former Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Tsav, has dubbed those urging Muhammadu Buhari to drop his 2015 presidential ambition as the "enemies of Nigeria".
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Makurdi, Tsav said those opposed to Buhari’s participation in the electoral process were political saboteurs and enemies of the country.
The former commissioner dismissed allegations of religious extremism against the former head of state, and revealed that Buhari's driver is a Christian till date.
Mr. Tsav, who is also an anti-corruption crusader, said that Buhari had no house either in Abuja or Lagos or in any part of the world.
He said the country needs honest politicians like General Buhari to restore its lost glory, regretting that the country had "slided into a culture of impunity with top government officials siphoning public funds without shame".

“Such persons are either agents of corruption or are corrupt themselves and dishonest. Buhari has been tested four times and each time he proved that he is honest and incorruptible.
“He was military governor but never stole a dime; he was minister of petroleum still he never stole as head of state, he never stole, instead, he introduced discipline and orderly behaviour in society.”
