However, Mohammed explained that the president acquired this name due to his tolerant and democratic nature, allowing his ministers to carry out their duties without undue interference.
Minister Laments Constant Criticism Faced by Buhari’s Government
During a send-forth party organized in his honor by the Board of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mohammed expressed his concern that Buhari’s government seems to always find itself on the receiving end of criticism.
He commended the president for maintaining a high level of tolerance despite enduring insults from individuals, radio stations, and television networks.

Balancing Act of Tolerance and Strictness
Mohammed pointed out the paradoxical situation faced by the government, as they are criticized for being both too soft and too strict.
He highlighted the lack of consequences faced by stations that continuously berate the government, while any attempt to impose fines or shut down such stations is met with resistance from human rights groups.
President Buhari’s Remarkable Tolerance
The outgoing minister praised President Buhari for his exceptional level of tolerance, citing an incident during a cabinet meeting when the president acknowledged the “Baba Go Slow” nickname.
