A factional chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Kano State, Hussaini Mairiga, yesterday described President Muhammadu Buhari as a total failure.
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.”
He made it clear that it is 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.
Mairiga expressed concern that after one year of the Buhari’s presidency, there was nothing to show. Instead poverty in the country had reached an unprecedented level.
A bag of rice now sells for N16, 000 and prices of other essentials commodities had tripled, he said.
And this, according to him, is happening at a time the ordinary man does not have money to make a living.
The factional APC chairman is also disturbed that those around the president, including his ministers, have refused to tell him the truth and advice on the reality on ground.
Mairiga reminded Buhari of his campaign promises and said he does not like the way the masses were allowed to wallow in destitution and penury.
He cautioned the president to stop deceiving Nigerians that there is no money when on monthly basis the federal and states governments continued to enjoy boost in their allocations.
Mairiga advised Buhari to immediately open all the closed borders with other countries to allow food into the country – warning 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.
