A former Presidential aide, Tanko Yakassai, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as an incompetent leader ruling Nigeria.

The elder statesman further stated that the President’s inability to fix some of the issues he met when he took over power has shown him as an incompetent leader.

Yakassai added that his belief that the Buhari cannot fix Nigeria’s problem was responsible for his refusal to support all his presidential campaigns.

The former presidential adviser while speaking via zoom at a video conference organised by governance index, maintained that the past five years of Buhari administration has shown he can’t fix Nigeria.

He noted that President Buhari has failed in the area of electricity, creation of jobs for Nigerians. He added that the affecting Nigerians before Buhari took over are still there.

“I have never supported Buhari. I have been against him because I felt he was not competent to handle the job, and I have been proven right.”

“When President Muhammadu Buhari was elected, I was hoping that at least, we will get stable power all over the country. This is his fifth year. He has only two more active years because the last one year will be for election.”

“I don’t know what are his plans, when will Kano get electricity to restore its industrial might, so that every man in Kano will be gainfully employed as a result of provision in Kano, likewise Enugu and Lagos among others? Those were the key issues from the time Buhari was elected and they are still the issues of today.”
