Junaid Mohammed, Second Republic lawmaker, has said both
Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Atiku
Abubakar, ex-Nigerian Vice President would govern the country better than
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mohammed said both Tinubu and Atiku has the capacity to
govern Nigeria better than Buhari.
Speaking with Dailypost, the former lawmaker said both the
APC and the PDP chieftains were not nepotistic while in government.
Mohammed lamented that Buhari’s appointments has the
imprints of those around him.
According to Mohammed: “The problem will be if PDP put him
forward, the strength he has in the party now is not what he had during the
party’s convention in Port Harcourt.
“Two, it’s an open secret that Tinubu is desirous of
contesting the 2023 presidential election. In my view, he has what it takes to
contest the election on the platform of APC. For one APC was his own creation,
without Tinubu there would be no APC and without the party there would be no
Buhari presidency.
“Buhari is not a man who believes in loyalty but he demands
it and he is the kind of person who wants to pretend to gett people into serving
him till there last breath but has never been loyal to anybody.
“The genesis of this attempt to undermine Tinubu emanates
from the Presidency to governors to Ministers. But that those not disqualify
him nor would Buhari’s hatred disqualify Atiku.
“Atiku can emerge as candidate of PDP but those not
guarantee that he would be the president.
“Both Tinubu and Atiku are better than Buhari. In terms of
governance of a country like Nigeria with its landmass and population, we need
somebody who is economically literate to govern us. Secondly, we must have
somebody who has the necessary knowledge of international affairs.
“In this day and age no country is an island no matter how
big you are, you must learn to relate with other country.
“Tinubu has been a governor while Atiku has been a Vice
President under one of Nigeria’s most remarkable president though
controversial.
“I think Tinubu’s problem will come if he wins the
nomination and decide to pick somebody outside the North and a Muslim.
“In the case of Atiku, Northeast is essentially a war zone
so conducting a campaign and election in such an area today is a challenge, but
he has a history of being rootless so he may pull it off but I don’t know.
“What I said is that any of them who emerges may face these
challenges but I hope their strategies would not inflame the polity further
than it is already.
“Anyone of them who emerges as president would be better
than Buhari I can tell you with all the force at my command.
“Neither Atiku nor Tinubu is a nepotist non of them has the
reputation of bringing their relations while in government but in the case of
Buhari every major appointment has the imprint of his cronies, friends,
families, and to make it worse non of them have done well.”
