A second Republic lawmaker,
Junaid Muhammed, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari’s October 1 speech.
Muhammed said the speech was “not
realistic,” adding that some of the claims made by Buhari with regards to his
policies were not true.
The Northern elder noted that if
Buhari was articulate, the speech would have been an “avenue to mobilise and
regain the confidence of the people.”
Speaking with Punch, Muhammed
said, “Frankly speaking, the speech is not realistic. There is nothing and
there was nothing meant to be spectacular or unique about the speech of the
57th anniversary.
“It is celebratory. Where we have
a leader who is articulate or is in a firm control of the government, the
speech could have been an avenue to mobilise and regain the confidence of the
people.
“As far as I am concerned, there
is nothing in the speech to energise, galvanise or persuade me.
“The government muddled up a
speech that should be about matters of national importance with personal
reminiscences of being a young officer. This romantic lamentation does not have
a place in this speech.
“Some of the claims the President
made were clearly dishonest. For example, he claimed that his agricultural
policies have been a success. As far as I am concerned, that cannot be true
because I don’t even know the policies.
“If I don’t, I am sure millions
of other Nigerians don’t know too. When you see the functionality of a policy,
you know it is working.”
