Former President Muhammadu Buhari ate beans and pap during his eight-year reign.

Disclosing this, Buhari’s former spokesman, Garba Shehu, said his ex-principal was frugal in his meals and ate healthily while in office.

This revelation was contained in his recently released book, Lessons from a Presidential Spokesperson’s Experience.

The former media aide said the incident happened when Buhari assumed office in 2015.

Shehu said Buhari directed that the N10 million proposed budget be reduced after it was brought to his notice.

Shehu said: “When they told him N10 million was needed, he screamed and demanded it be reduced. ‘Look at my table, what do I eat? How much does it cost?’

“Most of the things he ate were very basic foods that are recognizable and associated with, and consumed by, the lower strata of Nigerian society — tuwo (dough-like dishes made from grains), pap, akara (bean cake), beans, wheat, plenty of salads, poultry, and mutton.”

Nine senior palace officials have filed a lawsuit against the 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, and 12 others over alleged illegal eviction and demolition of their residences within the palace.

The suit, numbered K/M1607/2025, is before Justice Musa Ahmad of the Bichi Judicial Division, Kano State.

The applicants—led by Usman Dako, Galadiman Sallama include other titleholders and palace servants, accusing the Emir and the Kano Emirate Council of targeting them for their loyalty to deposed Emir Aminu Ado Bayero. Other respondents include the Inspector General of Police, DSS, NSCDC, and key palace figures.

The court granted an order directing all parties to maintain status quo ante and allowed substituted service of court documents via the Emirate Council Secretariat and courier for Abuja-based respondents.

Speaking in a video circulating online, Dako alleged that palace officials told him the Emir wanted all Bayero loyalists removed. “i was away when my wife called to tell me hoodlums are destroying the house, when i came home the house was in a terrible state ” he said.

He also claimed the house was gifted to his father by the late emir Bayero. “My father was born in the palace and so was i so see no reason why we are being pushed out for loving Emir Aminu when his father has always been good to us” Despite his eviction, Dako reaffirmed his allegiance to Aminu Ado Bayero.

As at the time of filing this report, neither Emir Sanusi II nor the Kano Emirate Council has issued a statement regarding the development.
