A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Obadiah Mailafia, has said that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), failed woefully in managing the economy, in the managing the security challenges of the country as well as in his anti-graft fight.
The Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the last election also said the President failed in leadership and his foreign objectives policy.
He, however, gave the Buhari regime a pass mark in infrastructure because of some road projects the government has completed and are constructing.
But according to Mailafia, who said he has nothing personal with Buhari, “If you have F9 in seven subjects, I don’t think any tertiary institution or college of education can take you.”
Buhari of the All Progressives Congress was sworn in as Nigeria’s President in May 2015 after he defeated ex-President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2015 general elections.
“This is a problem I am asking God to help me understand: Why is it that each time Buhari comes, that is when the economy collapses? Immediately he took over in December 31st, 1983, the economy collapsed right in his face. He took over again in 2015, in fact as he was being sworn in, the economy was collapsing again. So, what is it about this man that things always collapse when he turns out? Is it some kind of black mark or what? Why is it like that?” the CBN ex-director asked.
If you have F9 in seven subjects and you have P5 in one, I don’t think any tertiary institution or college of education can take you.”
Mailafia also flayed the Buhari regime for borrowing to build a railway to Niger Republic, saying “it is treason and a betrayal of the country”.
