Former Ekiti State governor Ayodele Fayose criticized former President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that Buhari has not brought blessings to Nigeria. Fayose expressed his views during an interview on Channels Television, highlighting that Buhari’s administration has set Nigeria back by 50 years.
He pointed out the significant economic challenges facing Nigerians, including soaring prices of essential goods, which have led to protests in various parts of the country.
Former Ekiti governor Fayose criticized the current administration, stating that Tinubu inherited a struggling economy and suggesting that it would be challenging for the president to enact significant change quickly.
He said: “Look at the eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari, what will be left of a country like Nigeria as of today?” he asked. “Even if Tinubu means well, where do you place the debt? Even if Tinubu wants to do the magic, how will he fix the country? There were loans taken in Buhari’s administration, some with 20 to 50 years moratorium. “Unborn children will face the kind of situation the last administration has plunged this country into.”
Fayose accused the Buhari-led government of damaging the nation’s economy and criticized the administration’s borrowing practices, likening it to burdening future generations with debt. He urged Tinubu to refrain from applauding Buhari to prevent confusion among Nigerians regarding the economic difficulties attributed to the former president’s tenure.
Fayose said: “The only thing I want to say to President Tinubu is that, without fear or favor, he should stop praising former President Buhari. “That will confuse the minds of Nigerians. Yes, he is a member of our party and a leader. “Buhari is not a blessing to Nigerians, with all due respect. President Buhari is not a blessing to Nigeria, he drew us back to 50 years of our history.”
