Sule Lamido, the immediate past governor of Jigawa State, says President Muhammadu Buhari is finding it difficult to tackle the current economic challenges because he is incompetent.
Lamido told Daily Trust that Buhari never prepared to be the nation’s number one citizen.
Lamido, is a chieftain of the opposition People’s Democratic Party and is being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said he is more capable than the president.
“President Buhari is simply incompetent on the provision of the welfare of the citizens because he was never ready for the job, and so, he lacks the capacity to source the wherewithal to do it well to the satisfaction of Nigerians,” Lamido said.
“If he (Buhari) cannot ensure the provision of basic needs of Nigerians, tell him to hand over to me and see how I will source the wherewithal to do it.
“Imagine a husband who, before marrying his wife, promised her that he would provide all her legal and legitimate needs according to the obligations of matrimony, only to confront the wife shortly after the wedding and tell her that he didn’t know that he would have to provide her ‘this’, and he has now realised that he cannot, and she should please bear with him; and the wife, because of the love she has for him, overlooks that limitation.
“The following day, he confronts her again, explaining his inability to provide another basic need, pleading with her to overlook it, and she does so. Again he comes to her another day to say he didn’t know that he also has to provide so and so to her, and now he has realised he cannot; it should dawn on the wife that he simply cannot discharge the obligations of matrimony to her, and it is legal and legitimate for her to seek divorce.”
