Acting leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has said those who helped bring Buhari to power will be remembered for being the reason many Nigerians were forced to their early graves.
Adebanjo who spoke in an interview with Sunday Tribune, said anyone who has the opportunity to address Nigeria’s major problem which he identified as the constitution, but failed to, is an enemy and a threat to Nigeria’s existence.
He said while past leaders did fail to use their opportunity to fix the constitution, they however, performed considerably better than Buhari whom he called ‘an illiterate’ and who wants Nigerians to praise him for afflicting them.
He said Buhari’s Democracy Day claims, that he has taken Nigerians out of poverty, is a demonstration of his illiteracy.
While responding to the claims, he said, “Are you a Nigerian? Have you been in the country since the last six years or you are just arriving? What is your answer to that? That’s not true. It is part of his exaggeration. That is part of the propaganda of the Buhari regime and the APC. The country is so pained about their incompetence and lack of vision but they did not admit it.
“All the things they promised before they came into power, which of them did they achieve? How much was dollar when they came in, how much is it now?
“What was the standard of education when they came in and what is it now? These are the perimeters you go by and then you answer to his claims?
“It is unfortunate that we have an illiterate as a president and he is demonstrating it. “Instead of listening to learned people around him, he is forcing his illiterate vision on the people and that is why we are having trouble.
“Unfortunately the people that led us to him are not talking now. Is it not Tinubu that led us to him? Somebody who has a manifesto on restructuring is now asking us what it stands for. Somebody who set up a committee on restructuring in his party still doesn’t know what restructuring is. And you people believe he is telling the truth.
“He is just pretending, Buhari cannot change this country. All that he has been saying is embedded in the constitution. It is the constitution that gives him all the powers that makes him the most powerful president in the world.
“Is it not the constitution that created more states and local governments in the North than the South which is used as the basis for revenue distribution?
“The problem of this country is the constitution and until we change it, we will not get out of our problems. Are you telling me that Buhari does not know that the constitution he is using is fraudulent?
“Buhari is the number one enemy of Nigeria’s unity and that is why he is doing everything in words and deeds to break the country. Right now, he has sent non indigene policemen and soldiers to the South and West to be killing everybody. Have you not heard about that?” he queried.
