Stalwart of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Kennedy Eyube has said that Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida’s statements will boost President Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection. Obasanjo and Babangida, both former Nigerian leaders, had in separate statements, lamented the challenges plaguing Nigeria.
“Both Chief Obasanjo and General Babangida ruled this country for eight years each or more. Their governments were not entirely perfect,” Eyube said in a statement on Tuesday. “Nigerians still have records of how they ruled this country, so, they should allow President Buhari to do his eight years after which Nigerians can also pass judgment on Buhari’s tenure.
“If Obasanjo and IBB couldn’t permanently solve the problems of Nigeria when they had the opportunity to do so while in power, the right thing for Obasanjo and IBB to do now is to support Buhari to repair this country and correct some of the mistakes made and things they left undone years ago.”
In addition, Eyube noted that Buhari’s reelection would not solve the problems bedeviling the country, adding that it would only serve as foundation for development.
