Elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai has come out to say that the reason he did not support President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential ambitions is because he has always known that he cannot fix the country’s problems.

Tanko recently revealed that since Buhari was named President, all he has done is prove his doubts about his leadership skills right.

According to him, the fact that power is still not stable in the country is a sign that PMB does not have much to offer Nigeria while he remains in charge.

He added that Buhari’s plans have been far from clear thus far and it is sad that Kano still lacks the required electricity to restore its industrial might that will bring employment for residents.

His words, “I have never supported Buhari. I have been against him because I felt he was not competent to handle the job, and I have been proven right.”

”When President Muhammadu Buhari was elected , I was hoping that at least, we will get stable power all over the country. This is his fifth year. He has only two more active years because the last one year will be for election.

“I don’t know what are his plans, when will Kano get electricity to restore its industrial might, so that every man in Kano will be gainfully employed as a result of provision in Kano, likewise Enugu and Lagos among others. Those were the key issues from the time Buhari was elected and they are still the issues of today.”

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician currently serving as the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired major general in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s head of state from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.

He unsuccessfully ran for the office of president of Nigeria in the 2003, 2007, and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected President, defeating his closest rival Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

Buhari has stated that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a “converted democrat”.
