Why Buhari Is A Total Failure – APC Chieftain

Hussaini Mairiga, a factional chairman of the All Progressive Congress in Kano State, on Monday slammed President Muhammadu Buhari, describing the president as a total failure. He said Nigerians were in the worst condition that needed urgent attention. Speaking with Journalists in Kano, Mairiga said: “from the looks of things President Buhari has betrayed the confidence of the Nigerian masses who voted for him massively into power.” 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, price of other essential commodities had tripled. He noted with dismay that prices of goods were rising at a time the ordinary man did not have money to make a living. President Muhammadu Buhari, who was elected under the platform of the APC, came into office on May 29, 2015. The chairman said it was not an overstatement 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.
Another disturbing situation, 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 however advised the president to stop deceiving Nigerians that the nation had no money whereas on monthly basis the federal and state 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.
