President Muhammadu Buhari has come under attacks in the hands of his party mate from the northern part of Nigeria.
President Muhammadu Buhari
All progressives Congress chieftain, Hussaini Mairiga who is a factional chairman of the Kano State chapter of the ruling party has described the Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari as a 'total failure'.
He revealed this on Monday, 8th of August due to the President's failure to compensate the masses that voted for him with good governance.
Mr. Mairiga, who spoke with journalists in Kano, said “from the looks of things President Buhari has betrayed the confidence of the Nigerian masses who voted for him massively into power.”
The factional chairman said it was not an exaggeration that members of many families in the country go to bed without at least one square meal while others had fled their homes because they could no longer provide the basic needs of life for their loved ones, according to Premium Times.
Mr. Mairiga, who is known for his bluntness, expressed worry that after one year of the Buhari administration in power, there was nothing to show while poverty in the country had reached an unprecedented level.
He lamented that while a bag of rice now sold for N16, 000, prices of other essentials commodities had tripled. Mr. Mairiga noted with dismay that prices of goods were rising at a time the ordinary man did not have money to make a living.
Another disturbing scenario, according to the factional APC chairman, was that those around the president, including his ministers, had refused to tell him the truth and advice on the reality on ground.
He reminded Mr. Buhari of his campaign promises, stating that he did not like the way the masses were allowed to wallow in destitution and penury.
He said Nigerians were in the worst condition that needed urgent attention. The APC Chairman advised the president to stop deceiving Nigerians that the nation had no money whereas on monthly basis the federal and states governments continued to enjoy boost in their allocations.
Mr. Mairiga asked the federal government to urgently open all the closed borders with other countries to allow food into the country. He warned that if urgent steps were not taken to address the present situation in the country, Nigerians would soon begin to die of hunger on the streets.
The Nigerian economy has continued in its nosedive under the watch of Buhari with the naira suffering a free fall, jobs being lost and inflation ravaging the already impoverished masses.
