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.
