Buhari Has Lost His Memory – Fani-kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-
Kayode, has stated 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 ex-Spokesman of Goodluck Jonathan
Presidential Campaign Organisation told
Vanguard that President Buhari had in the last
one year and three months, brought nothing but
chaos, destruction, division, fear, deaths and
shame to Nigeria compared to the PDP
governments he was ridiculing.
He said, “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.”
