Festus Odimegu was a member of the Transition Committee, set up by President Muhammadu Buhari after he defeated Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 presidential election.
A former managing director of the Nigerian Breweries Plc, and at a time, appointed Chairman, National Population Commission, NPC by ex-President Jonathan, was once an ardent supporter of Buhari.
He no longer have confidence on the ability of a man, he had spoken glowingly about, to turn the nation around.
That’s is not all. The businessman has warned that the president will destroy Nigeria the way he’s going.
In an interview he granted The Niche, Odimegu said the Buhari administration has deviated from the novel programmes of the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the president is now running a parochial government with his closest family members on board.
Apart from this, the former NB boss said the President has allowed his Fulani henchmen to overrun many parts of the country.
He said the destructive Fulani herdmen have wrecked havoc in many places in the countries, due to the tacit support they enjoy from the government and pro-fulani northern establishment.
He said President Buhari and his ministers have failed to turn the economy around, adding that the fight against corruption is a ruse, targeted at the opponents of the government.
According to him, Buhari has divided the country more than it has ever been, because of his pro-fulani tendencies.
Odimegu said the administration has failed to restructure the country despite its promise to do so.
He warned of an imminent violence explosion in the country in the face violence attacks by Fulani herdsmen and bandits across the country.
