And truth is, he knew right from day one that Buhari is not fit to rule, yet he supported him only in the bid of ‘Jonathan must go’ agenda.” Odinaka Odynaks Offoma said: “It’s pretty pathetic to Buhari that all of those rejoicing with him in day one are now breaking into pieces, withdrawing their support and criticizing the present government. That’s to tell you, Buhari is clueless, confuse and the worst president Nigeria have ever had.” Ayo Agala said: “Tinubu, Obasanjo are the people causing problem in this country and who is blaming who now.Buhari should resign.” Friede Chikwuemeka said: “I wonder why folks still listen to this confused ape. He’s actually a destabilizing object against the nation and should be ignored. What a waste!” But let’s be honest, why is Yoruba race so much unstable when it comes to national issue? I keep wondering, from Awolowo to Obasanjo down to Tinubu, what’s going on with the Yoruba politicians?” Kanmi Oyenuga said: “Can anybody blame PMB for complaining? There are too many enemies of nigeria progress he is contending with yet he is expected to act like a democratic president and not a dictator.” Chinedu Okpara warned that “Obasanjo will soon tear his cloth in public”, adding: “I know he doesn’t have APC party card to tear…shame” Mike Godly said: “The president is really working hard no doubt about that but he is yet to get the economy right . The militants are making matters worse.” Meanwhile, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Jude Mbachu, in Imo State has appealed to President Muhammadu Buahri to intervene in the crises affecting the party, stressing that top shots of the party should not be allowed to defect from the party. Addressing reporters in Owerri, the state capital, Mbachu said Buhari’s intervention in the crises rocking APC will help prevent the party from collapse.
