Ibrahim Shekarau, a former governor of Kano
state, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of surrounding himself with
politicians, who were major characters in the last 16 years of bad leadership,
mismanagement and corruption.
Shekarau criticised President Buhari for
saying he wants to clean-up the 16-year mess of the Peoples Democratic Party,
by having as advisers the same elements responsible for the decay.
He said: “Buhari has said that he has come
to right the wrongs of 16-year mess by the PDP. So, I said, ‘Mr.
President you are welcome, but reminded that 10 of those 16 years belong to
ex-President Obasanjo.
‘’He had his eight years and by indirect
remote control, two years of late President Umaru Yar’Adua was Obasanjo’s. And
Obasanjo was the one who produced Yar’Adua and Jonathan. Until three years ago
when they fell out (Obasanjo and Jonathan), Obasanjo was in charge.
“Obasanjo today belongs to those who are
chief advisers to President Muhammadu Buhari. Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam
Nasiru El-Rufai, was one of the major hit men of Obasanjo, my former
governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, was one of the boys of Obasanjo as well as former
Governors Bukola Saraki, Goje and all the rest of them.
“They were part of those 16 years which
President Buhari was saying that PDP messed up Nigeria, and today because they
are APC, they are saints. They are now surrounding the President as his chief
advisers. The Amaechis are all part of the PDP.
“All the election crisis that President
Buhari was accusing PDP of perpetrating were a creation of these people, the
same who are with him now.
“So what sense does it make that I said you
are thief for 16 years, I have come to correct the wrongs that you did and now
I am calling you the chief adviser in order to right the wrongs that you
committed.
“Does it make sense? We are waiting to see
how they will come out of this.”
