Disagreeing with Buhari’s claim, the
Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Chief Okey Nwosu, said it
was unfortunate that Buhari had converted the exalted office of the
President to a “lie manufacturing plant.”
Nwosu, whose party has been endorsed by
former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said statistics from every credible organization and even agencies of government showed that poverty and
unemployment had worsened.
He further stated that the crisis in the
Middle Belt had reached unprecedented levels under the Buhari
administration and it was therefore deceptive of Buhari to claim that he
had effectively tackled insecurity.
The ADC chairman said Transparency
International had exposed Buhari’s anti-graft war for the sham that it
was and subsequently urged the President to focus on improving the
lives of Nigerians rather than propaganda.
Nwosu said, “Buhari has turned the
Presidency into a lie manufacturing plant. He has no right to evaluate
himself. It is Nigerians that are supposed to assess his performance.
However, the facts speak for themselves. Under Buhari, poverty and
unemployment have worsened.
“He claims to have effectively tackled
insecurity but every day new IDP camps are springing up. I recently
returned from Borno State where I saw IDP camps all over the place.
“Even the agricultural revolution he
boasts of is also false.
The Middle Belt which is the food basket of the
nation is in crisis, no thanks to herdsmen. So, how can he say life is
better under his watch?”
