KanyiDaily recalled in December 2020, Mohammed said President Buhari is not physically and mentally fit to lead a country like Nigeria.

He said Buhari should resign because he cannot handle his own family affairs, not to talk of handling the affairs of 200 million people.

The Lawmaker had also said that the Federal Government was deceiving Nigerians about defeating Book Haram because some leaders have turned the war against insurgency into a money making avenue.
