President Muhammadu Buhari may be Nigeria's number one citizens but there are some powerful toes he cannot afford to step on. Stepping on those toes would come with grave consequences such as removal from office.      

See list of 5 Prominent Nigerians Buhari cannot touch :

• Abdusalami Abubakar

Former head of state of Nigeria. One of the most powerful retired army general in the country.

• Olusegun Obasanjo

Former President Goodluck Jonathan tried to go against this man but he lost woefully. Former President Obasanjo is skilled in dirty fighting and takes no prisoners.

• Bola Tinubu

Former Governor of Lagos state and National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC. He is the godfather of godfathers, even President Buhari acknowledges that he would have never made it to aso rock without this man.

• Ibrahim Babangida

Powerful retired army General and former Military head of state. Rumour claims he's the godfather of former senate President, David Mark. He may be linked to a million corruption scams but there's no way President Buhari can touch him.

• Atiku Abubakar

Former Vice President. Atiku is one man the President needs. He's allegedly one of the biggest political financiers in the country.
