The Niger Delta Integrity Group, NDIG, a Non-governmental Organization championing Niger Delta course has berated President Muhammadu Buhari for incompetence and deceit.
Public Relations Officer of the Group, Barr. Roseline Okpe said this while fielding questions from newsmen.
She said the Buhari administration is incompetent, deceitful and incapable of protecting lives and properties of average Nigerians . Whereas the President said he would place a ban on government officials seeking medical attention abroad, he has spent about a quarter of his tenure either in London or America seeking medical attention.
She said that the APC, contrary to its promise to safeguard the lives and properties of Nigerians, has accentuated insecurity in the Country as killings either by herdsmen or by Boko Haram is now a daily occurrence adding that Nigeria has become a graveyard overnight.
“We are not safe in the hands of President Buhari” she reiterated!
Barr. Okpe lambasted the Presidency for claiming that it has fulfilled the promises of the administration, adding that unemployment walks with four legs, crime and criminality are on the increase in spite of the countless billions of Naira appropriated for that purpose.
She regretted that in three short years, inflation has burst the ceiling, the foreign exchange rate has risen beyond imagination and the Naira has been devalued 200 times over, and concluded that Buhari is a poor manager of resources.
In his own remarks, the Deputy President of NDIG, Dr. John Idumange, said that Buhari and the APC administration is a shorthand for disaster and referred to the Buhari administration as a criminal enterprise.
He maintained that the APC administration has frittered away all the gains of democracy within just three years. He took a swipe at the anti-corruption war and berated Buhari for hounding the opposition alone, saying that Buhari is using the DSS and EFCC to prosecute a sectional crusade, while the herdsmen are prosecuting the second jihad.
Dr. Idumange scored Buhari low on infrastructure, health, and education, asserting that he has destroyed the Almajiri schools built by his predecessor.
He queried why the administration is indifferent to the plight of workers as can be seen in the prolonged strikes of what JOHESU and non-academic staff of Nigerian Universities are going through.
He told newsmen that Buhari’s declaration to contest the 2019 Presidential election is the climax of Presidential high handedness and predicted mass failure for the Party for imposing hardship on Nigerians with anti-people policies, adding that His Democracy Day Speech was toxic and laced with falsehood.
The Deputy President concluded by saying that the Buhari administration has become a liability to the nation, because, at every given opportunity, it is the Presidency that de-markets the nation as corrupt, thereby chasing at way potential investors. Said he “Nigerians have never had it so bad for the past 35 years, and we eagerly await a regime change come 2019”.
