Buhari Has Lost His Memory - Fani-Kayode Blasts the President for Saying He Inherited 'Nothing'
Chief Femi Fani- Kayode has taken a swipe at President Buhari, saying
that the president had either lost his memory or was badly misinformed,
for telling Nigerians that he inherited nothing from the PDP
administrations.
Speaking in an exclusive chat with Vanguard,
the ex-Spokesman of Goodluck Jonathan Presidential Campaign
Organisation, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode, has stated that President
Muhammadu Buhari, had either lost his memory or was not well-informed
when he told Nigerians that he inherited nothing from the PDP
administrations of Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck
Jonathan.
The former Minister of Aviation, said that in the last one year and
three months, President Buhari had brought nothing but chaos,
destruction, division, fear, deaths and shame to Nigeria compared to the
PDP governments he was ridiculing.
“It is obvious that President Muhammadu Buhari has either lost his memory or he has been badly misinformed.
“If you look at the state of the country in 1999 when former
President Olusegun Obasanjo took over and compare it to what it was in
2007 when he left office, you will find out that there was not just
development but also a miraculous transformation in every sector; that
is what Obasanjo managed to achieve and I am very proud to be part of
that government and part of those legacies.
“After Obasanjo left, Umaru Yar’ Adua took over and then came
former President Goodluck Jonathan. As far as I am concerned, Jonathan
built on Obasanjo’s legacies and foundation and he took us to yet
another level.
“If you compare Nigeria in 2015 by the time Jonathan left to
1999 before Obasanjo came in, you will have to thank the PDP for lifting
this nation up and taking us from strength to strength.
“By the time Jonathan left in 2015, we had the largest economy
on the African Continent and the fastest growing economy in the world,
among other things.
“In one year and three months, all of that have been destroyed
by President Buhari and his APC, we are now back in the dark ages. Every
sector in the country has been destroyed and everyone is complaining.
“President Buhari has brought nothing, but ethnic cleansing,
recession, abuse of power, persecution, genocide, chaos, destruction,
division, fear, deaths and shame to Nigeria and they have no other way
of running the country, but to intimidate the citizens and threaten
them. That is his own legacy.
“It should also be noted that a large number of people that
supported Buhari in his quest to become the president, last year, were
all originally from the PDP, whether the PDP governors, who decamped or
PDP ministers who decamped or PDP legislators who decamped, 70 percent
of people that helped to put Buhari in power used to be PDP including
former President Olusegun Obasanjo; former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar; Senate President Bukola Saraki; Speaker, House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; former speakers Aminu Tambuwal, Aminu
Masari; Umar Ghali Naaba; former minister of the Federal Capital
Territory and governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El- Rufai; Governor Rochas
Okorocha of Imo State; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi;
former governors Olagunsoye Oyinlola; Segun Oni; Danjuma Goje; Aliyu
Wammakko; Rabiu Kwankwaso; Murtala Nyako; George Akume; Senate Leader,
Ali; former PDP national chairmen, Barnabas Gemade; Audu Ogbeh, among
others.
“When he insults PDP legacy and said that nothing was ever done
by PDP in 16 years, he is insulting those 70 per cent that put him in
power starting with Obasanjo and I think that this is most unfair and
very ungrateful of him.”
