Buhari Was A Failure As Head Of State –shehu Shagari by Nobody: 8:04pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
Second Republic President, Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari, yesterday broke his silence on burning national issues, declaring that former Head of State and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, was a failure in office. The elder statesman said unlike President Goodluck Jonathan, who had achieved a lot in office, there was nothing he can point to that Buhari achieved for the whole period he was Head of State between 1983 and 1985. Shagari who spoke for the first time on the quality of the leader that Nigerians need 32 years after his administration was overthrown by Gen. Buhari, declared that the APC standard bearer had no developmental strides during his regime. He said: “Now I may ask Nigerians, what are Buhari’s developmental strides as Nigeria’s head of state for the period in question?” Your answer is as good as mine, NONE for his whole time in office. Jonathan may not be the best, but I can mention three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office.” Shagari said that unlike the leaders before President Jonathan, he can mention three to four areas where the incumbent president had fared better. In a rare interview with African Independent Television, AIT reporter in Sokoto, yesterday, the elder statesman said after several years, the trains are back on track, noting that even his 27-year-old grandchild boarded one for the first time in his life in 2014. Shagari also said that President Jonathan’s administration was the first to construct 125 modern Almajiri Schools and 12 universities in a short period of time. According to Shagari, President Jonathan also scored first in the agricultural sector, where his administration has become the first Nigerian government to eradicate the high level corruption in the distribution of fertilisers and ghost workers in the civil service. He said Jonathan may not be the best, “but I can mention three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office.” The full text of the interview reads: Shagari: “Jonathan may not be the best, but I can mention three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office. “Under Jonathan’s administration, the trains are back in Nigeria after about 30 years of neglect. In fact, my 27 years old grandchild boarded train for the first time in his life in 2014. “His (Jonathan) administration is the first government to construct over 125 modern Almajiri Schools and 12 universities in a short frame of time. “He is also the first Nigerian leader to construct cargo airports and ensure all zones in Nigeria have an international airport. “And the very first government to start diversifying Nigerian economy back to agriculture after Nigeria lost its agricultural glory in the 70s. “Now, I may ask Nigerians, what are Buhari’s developmental strides as Nigerian Head of State?” Your answer is as good as mine, NONE for his whole time in office. Jonathan may not be the best, but I can mention three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office. Interestingly, Shagari’s rating of the two presidential candidates coincided with President Jonathan and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s campaign to Sokoto. Addressing the mammoth crowd that gathered at the rally, President Jonathan warned politicians who are planning to cause trouble during the forthcoming elections not to test the might of the Federal Government. He said instead of threatening to throw the country into chaos if they lose the polls, they should join hands with him to ensure a peaceful conduct of the elections in the interest of the country** www.nigerianmonitor.com/2015/01/20/buhari-was-a-failure-as-head-of-state-shehu-shagari/ 1 Like |

These few things are involved? 1. Shagari is still holding the grudge since the coup. 2. GMB stayed for a couple of years, which is not Enough to effect a change. 3. if GMB was good enough he would have lasted longer as head of state, so at this old age why should he think he can do better? (Shagari has a point). 4. On the other note, GEJ is not capable of fighting corruption nor Boko Haram, (the only problems we face in naija as of present). 5. GEJ has stayed for 6yrs already, and he still is clueless. Promising the same shit he promised 4yrs back. 6. I don't give a damn right now, the change is not buhari, the way forward is not Jonathan. So here we are in naija JUST CLUELESS 3 Likes |

Talk about a pot calling a kettle black. If Buhari's 20months regime was a failure then Shagari's 4yrs rule was a monumental disaster. Shagari should just stfu, jo. |

ArchEnemy: There are a whole lot of things he could have done in office even on day one but he still failed to achieve them in his 20 months in office Besides my own problem is why is it that for 30years Buhari did not engage in enterprise to at least employ Buhari and may be one more person |

If a govt is good you will know by the kind of projects executed. Even if Buhari's govt lasted just 20months, he should be able to point out to some projects that he started but could not complete. We were all in this country during Buhari's regime and we all know that Buhari did not carry out a single project talkless of completing one. If it takes Buhari 20months just to think of what to do then GEJ is 100times better than him. The young generation are the problem because they just come here shouting change, change without knowing that they are invariably dragging us all into a precarious situation we are all thankful to God for saving this country from a long time ago. God forbid if this country gets into the hands of GMB once more because most youths will never survive the next 8years of wickedness personified |
