President Muhammadu Buhari marked his fifth year in the saddle as the President of the Nation amidst  criticism from different quarters, as he continues to receive knocks from stakeholders and political analysts.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Candidate at the 2015 and 2019 Polls has been seriously criticised by the Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Organization, Afenifere. It described the Buhari administration as a failure that has further impoverished Nigerians.

The Afenifere added that the President Buhari administration has made Nigeria the global secretariat of poverty since coming to power five years ago.

Scoring the administration low on all indices, Yinka Odumakin, the organisation’s National Publicity Secretary, said even though Nigeria’s problems started five years ago, the APC led federal government has aggravated the situation.

Odumakin who said that we are in civil rule and not a democratic government argued that the current government has dragged Nigeria backward in terms of all identifiable human development indices while democratic gains to Nigerians has been very few.

“I would rather say five years of civil rule and not misuse the word democratic. What we have experienced has been far below democratic expectations and the gains to the people have been paltry”.

“It is not that our problems started five years ago, only that they have aggravated”.

“We were not global secretariat of poverty five years ago but we are today. We are worse off on all indices today”.

“We must now admit that we can not use propaganda to make our country better if it had not worked in five years” .

Corroborating Afenifere’s stand on the Buhari administration, Timi Frank, political ac­tivist and former Dep­uty National Publicity Secretary APC, has decried the huge debt bur­den the Buhari administra­tion has foisted on the nation stating that the last five years of President Muhammadu Bu­hari government will go down in history as the worst in the annals of the country.

In a statement in Abuja, Frank said that the nation’s progress is presently on a freeze and can only return to normal mode of development after Buhari’s tenure.

Frank further described the Buhari administra­tion as “inept and rudderless” in the last five years, stressing that Nigerians must brace up for worse economic and social tor­ments in the three years left in the life of the administration.

He lamented that Buhari has continued to lead the country and its yet unborn citizens into the abyss of debt and slavery with his penchant for amassing loans.

He insisted that it would take Nigeria another 10 de­cades to repay and recov­er from the loans already amassed and squandered by the present administration.

Frank said: “Today marks the fifth year of the Buhari’s regime in power, yet, Nigeri­ans have not recovered from his ruinous ways of the dum­my sold to them prior to the 2015 presidential elections. Buhari is not only the most incompetent Nigerian leader but the most unpre­pared for the nation’s exalted office of President.

“Notwithstanding his half-baked polices like the single treasury account, closure of borders and playing patron to deadly and bloodthirsty herds­men, his incapacity to compre­hend the workings of modern economy is legendary”, he concluded.
