he Presidency on Monday night said the administration of President Muhammad Buhari would not join issues with former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his comments on Buhari administration.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Obasanjo had on Monday while addressing a group of youths who visited him at his country home Abeokuta described the Buhari administration as a failure.
Obasanjo also asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) -led government to stop complaining about the challenges it met on the ground.
“What we have now is failure. Never you reinforce failure, let failure be failure… Those of you who are in business, your business could have been better today if we have a competent and effective and performing government.’’
However, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, who responded to Obasanjo’s comments in a telephone interview on Channels Television on Monday, said the assessment was not new.
“Already, the statement issued few months ago by the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, in response to the earlier criticism made against the government by Obasanjo had adequately addressed the issues raised’’.
He maintained that the APC-led Federal Government would keep making reference to the failures of the past administration with a view to guiding against such mistakes in future.
According to Adesina, the Buhari administration has successfully tackled mismanagement of the nation’s economy, as Nigeria now has more savings in its foreign reserve than ever before.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Savings in foreign reserve? Savings that they will turn back and steal when leaving the office. But think o, how can you be dieing of hunger and be saving? Is that not foolishness? Nigerians are hungry, No power supply, No good roads, No hospitals, No employment, terrorism the list continues yet you are talking about savings. Savings for what? Nigeria s a failed nation.

Nothing has changed. Infact things are getting worse by the day. Corrupt officers are shielded by the administration, unemployment all time high, external debt staggering, hunger everywhere. Which way Nigeria?

What does KANU the footballer knows, can he lead Nigeria, does he has the leadership skills, the brain capacity to use industries, electric power, technology and good judgement to make a better economy, a better life and environment for the people and even the unborn, Who can set up a legacy and the structures and patterns for subsequent leaders to follow, Buhari has tried a bit in the anti corruption campaign but he is too tribal, and does not have much to offer, too slow and insensitive, We have not progressed as a nation, still stagnant. the score for the administration is 1/10. Maybe i am wrong, maybe i am not fully aware of the progress of our NATION.

ONLY a corrupt politician, a biased northerner and an unrealistic APC supporter will still say, at this point, that the Buhari led administration have done well so far.
