The Northern Elders Forum has said that there is no Nigerian that is not disappointed with President Muhammadu Buhari emergence as president.
The forum, regretting telling people in 2015 to reject former President Goodluck Jonathan and vote for Buhari, added that even diehard All Progressives Congress members are disappointed with Buhari.
NEF Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, who stated this on Tuesday during Arise TV’s ‘The Morning Show’ breakfast programme, said Nigeria’s next president should be a person who would act in the “opposite direction” of Buhari.
Baba-Ahmed said, “Is there any Nigerian who is not disappointed in President Buhari including diehard APC 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. 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 could have done much better and he hasn’t.”
