It is no longer news that Asiwaju Ahmed Bola
Tinubu’s running mate in the 2023 Presidential Election, Kashim Shettima, has
recently said that Nigeria needs a new President who would continue from
where President Muhammadu Buhari stopped.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) party has woefully failed Nigeria in the last seven years and therefore should be voted out of power in 2023. Out of the abundance of the heart, we have been told, the mouth speaks.
How can Shettima be saying that we need a President who would
continue from where President Buhari stopped. Where did Buhari stop, if I may
ask Mr. Shettima? In festering corruption? Or, in insecurity? Or, in
wooden-headed? Or, in cluelessness? Or, in imposing a corrupt and incompetent
ex-Chief Justice of Nigeria on the country?
The most significant achievement of the Buhari government in the last
seven years is to drag Nigeria into the membership of failed States.
Imagine the most populous and most richly endowed African country joining insignificant countries such as Somalia, Yemen, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan and Myanmar as a full-fledged failed State.
