“Go Home And Rest After Failing Nigerians Woefully” – Junaid Tells Buhari

Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, yesterday,
pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to take a dignified exit from
governance and return home to take care of his troubling health and save
Nigeria from further woes arising from his inability to hold the
country together.

He said
avoidable skirmishes between herdsmen and farmers had heightened across
the country under Buhari’s leadership and could escalate in the years
ahead if Buhari continues as president of the country beyond 2019.

Junaid
Mohammed Mohammed, who claims to be one of the closest northern leaders
to Buhari, accused the president of losing focus of giving Nigerians a
purposeful leadership as a result of paying priority attention to the
interest and welfare of family members and friends than the wellbeing of
Nigerians.

The former aide to President Shehu Shagari said
Buhari had also lost count of the Nigerian economy, having allowed his
friends and allies to take charge of key economic enterprises that
should be manned by experts and technocrats.

He
said: “There is no need for us to continue to keep silent while a
cabal, led by persons with little or no knowledge of the economy and
those who have never run any successful business enterprise, continue to
toy with the well-being and future of over 180 million Nigerians just
because they are related one way or the other to the president, who
himself knows nothing about the economy.

“It is
also not in doubt that this president has brought more of his kinsmen,
most of them who are unqualified, than any other Nigerian president in
history into key national positions, thereby trivialising governance and
promoting mediocrity at the highest level.”

Asked if the
north would present a consensus candidate to challenge Buhari in 2019,
Mohammed, who is a member of the 2014 National Conference, described the
thought of a consensus candidate as primitive and unworkable under the
present political reality.

“We
must not continue to accept a situation where some people sit somewhere
and ‘anoint’ some persons they know are either ill or weak and impose
them on the rest of the people and they either die midway into their
tenure or fail woefully to perform due to ill health or poor
understanding of the economy or both.
