President Buhari told them the purpose of his visit was not to meet with Nigerian businessmen or any one who is trying to looby for political office, 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.
