A former leader of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, University of Benin, Benin City, Tony Esijolomi Afejuku has slammed President Muhammadu
Buhari, for working solely for the
interest of northern Nigerians.
The former ASUU leader, who described Buhari as a changeless change, while speaking with Punch, noted that Nigerians should equally be happy that
ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan was forced to give up power in 2015.
According to him, Buhari had being brain-washed to favour only his northern kinsmen.
He said that his empire would soon crumble.
On Jonathan, he said, “Please let us not talk about former President Jonathan.
Let us leave him where he is now.
“We are lucky that he was forced to give up power at the time he was forced out.
I won’t say more than this.”
Adding his voice to the ongoing anti- corruption crusade led by the current government, Prof Afejuku said, “Regarding our current political landscape, the corruption of the pre- Buhari ascendancy is still very much around; the plague cannot be wished away just because Buhari has been
fumigating everywhere that his anti- corruption nostrils direct him to. Let’s keep this topic in abeyance.
“Nigeria was dying, very slowly and in great agony before Buhari entered the chambers of his presidential destiny.
“He entered the chambers with some necessarily tainted persons who were needed (and are still needed) to serve his purpose until they themselves are shut and shot out of reckoning.
“Study a little the mentality of Buhari’s kitchen cabinet, and you will observe that the immediately striking thing is their negative attitude about the preceding regime that tends to blind
them to constructive suggestion.
“Because Dr. Jonathan was perceived as an Ijaw president, President Buhari is being brain-washed to function as a
Northern sectional president who must deny presidential assets and fairness to some sections of our country.
“They don’t seem to understand that their empire will soon become simply stagnant, that it will soon cease to develop and fall to pieces.”
