We told people to get rid of Jonathan, put Buhari. Look at where we are now – Northern Elders Forum laments

The Northern Elders Forum has lamented the current state of the Nation being run by the President Mohammadu-Buhari led Administration.

NEF’s Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, who spoke on Arise TV recently, said that the decision to replace Goodluck Jonathan with Buhari was for him to fix everything but as it stands, no one is impressed about the current state of the country.

According to him, even APC members are not impressed by the results of this administration.

”Is there any Nigerian who is not disappointed in President Buhari including diehard APC (All Progressives Congress) people? Is there anybody who would not tell you he wished President Buhari had done much better?We raised huge expectations, we told people, ‘Get rid of Jonathan, put Buhari there, he would fix corruption, he would fix insecurity, he would fix the economy’, (but) look at where we are now.”How can anybody say they are happy with the record of President Buhari? Even the people very close to him would tell you that they wished he could have done much better and he hasn’t.

“So, what we need to do now is to get ready to elect another President who would go in the opposite direction, a President who has a vision and a clear idea of what governance involves rather than just being a President. So, I am disappointed and that is why today, I am actively involved in trying to see that a new leader emerges in getting Nigerians a new lease of life.”he said
