Garba Shehu: Buhari Was A Victim Of Too Much Expectation by Bobloco: 6:32pm On Jan 25 |
Former presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, has said ex-President Muhammadu Buhari was a victim of the crisis of expectations. Shehu, the ex-Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Buhari, also said Nigerians also expect lofty feats from their leaders, which have not augured well in the time past. He spoke at the 21st Trust Dialogue with the theme:” Tinubu’s Economic Reforms: Gainers and Losers”. The former presidential media aide said some of the problems Buhari had were as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the war between Russia and Ukraine in 2022, which affected grain importation. Shehu, therefore, as Nigerians to lower their expectations anytime they march to the polls to elect president, adding that no leader can solve all the nation’s problems. “His government banned the importation of rice because we were growing as much as we needed for the country. In fact, Nigeria fed West Africa. You need to be in any of the border states, either Kano, Katsina or Jigawa to see how food, even as of today, is being moved massively out of the country. We are feeding West Africa. “There were many challenges during the time he was in power. I don’t need to mention them. You all know about this. Was it Covid or the war in Ukraine? You know all of these things. In a nutshell, this is to say that he was a victim of a crisis of expectation. “And I think that is the lesson for Nigerians with what I have seen with Buhari’s critics. And this for Tinubu, and any other president that will come thereafter is that Nigerians should begin to lower their expectations especially where those expectations are simply inhumane. Leaders can do a lot of things. But no one leader can do everything for one given nation.” He also said the construction of the Second Niger Bridge was a big achievement by his former boss, as he said, “Before Buhari, it used to take Christians in the East or South West two to three days to go home for Christmas because the traffic clumped on the Niger Bridge.” https://dailytrust.com/garba-shehu-buhari-was-a-victim-of-too-much-expectation/#google_vignette Cc: Mynd44 Nlfpmod |

Rubbish. The war in Ukraine led to oil prices of $100 a barrel but because of a dullard who was c in c and petrol minister, Nigeria failed to maximise its opec quota because of oil theft. Imagine ghost stealing 800k barrels every day |

If Buhari could not end corruption even in the Presidency and his family, then he failed mightily. Many of us put our reputations on the line and swore that if not Buhari, who else was principled enough to stamp out greed and corruption from the Nigeria DNA. 1 Like |

Buhari was a victim of too much expectations, I agree in STRONG terms, but this can't change the fact that he's a big failure. Besides, who promised us a lot and lied a lot and make us to expect too much, is it not the same |
