“Buhari Is Incompetent, He Can’t Fix Any Of Nigeria’s Problems” – Northern Elder, Tanko Yakassai

Elder Statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai has revealed why he never supported any of President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential ambitions.

During a video conference organized by Governance index on Friday, Yakasai explained that his long-held conviction that Buhari can’t fix Nigeria’s problems was responsible for his refusal to support all his presidential campaigns.

The elder statesman added that the past five years of Buhari administration has proven him correct that the president is incompetent.

“I have never supported Buhari. I have been against him because I felt he was not competent to handle the job, and I have been proven right,” he said.

Yakasai said when President Buhari was elected, he was hoping that he will be able to at least fix the power sector, that there are no signs that the electricity issue would be addressed by the Buhari administration.

”When President Muhammadu Buhari was elected , I was hoping that at least, we will get stable power all over the country. This is his fifth year. He has only two more active years because the last one year will be for election.

“I don’t know what are his plans, when will Kano get electricity to restore its industrial might, so that every man in Kano will be gainfully employed as a result of provision in Kano, likewise Enugu and Lagos among others. Those were the key issues from the time Buhari was elected and they are still the issues of today.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Tanko Yakasai had said that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), might field Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, or Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the APC, for the 2023 Presidency.
