Buhari Is Human Like You, He May Have Made One Or Two Mistakes In His 8 Years In Office –Garba Shehu

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has said that during his administration, he may have made one or two errors but no one could question his intentions.

Buhari said this on Thursday in a statement issued by his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu to mark 100 days after the former President left office and handed over to Bola Tinubu.

He said, “In the eight years he led the country, Muhammadu Buhari had taken many decisions and as is human, one or two may have been wrong. But no one, not even critics, can question his intentions when those decisions were taken.

“There has not been a single area that has not been touched by the Buhari government, with massive, positive changes in the eight years he held fort.”

Shehu also said that the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) under Buhari blocked the insurgent Cameroonian Ambazonian network from infiltrating into Nigeria.

Shehu said Buhari’s administration almost quashed Boko Haram terrorists, improved healthcare, and education and lifted millions of Nigerians out of poverty but he has continued to receive “nothing but criticism upon criticism.”

Shehu said, “Today Boko Haram terrorism has almost been quashed,” stressing that “There has been a massive improvement in health infrastructure, a significant and new education policy has been framed, and even a policy against open defecation has been formulated and is taking hold in many states.”

He said, “No one should be angry at some revisionist characters whose only focus is the delegitimization of significant Buhari legacies. They refuse to acknowledge that bomb explosions, suicide bomb incidents and all that stopped when President Buhari stepped in.

“The National Security office was ruthless in denying End User Certificates, EUCs to those bringing in Urea fertilizer. They impounded shipments of fertilizer for over 5 years to freeze the bomb-making industry controlled by terrorists thereby helping to bring these atrocities to a standstill.

“The so-called critics don’t want to acknowledge the great job done by the nation’s intelligence agencies in diminishing the IPOB, its affiliates and other secessionist movements.

“The National Intelligence Agency, NIA single-handedly worked with our neighbors, especially Niger Republic in bringing down illegal small arms and light weapons importation into Nigerian territory by 78%.

“This agency carried out extensive work on the blocking of the insurgent Cameroonian Ambazonian network’s infiltration into Nigeria. Our security and intelligence operatives were virtually awake 24/7 and the President was well aware at all times of the evolving situations.”

He said that Buhari’s critics don’t want to acknowledge how General Marwa’s arrival on the scene completely paralyzed the activities of big-time drug syndicates in the country.

He said, “Bullies who attacked governments and “something dropped” will continue to antagonize Buhari borne of anger from lost opportunities.

“A certain Buhari “critic” who served a Military Governor in one of the Northern States, even his underwear was bought from government coffers. When they came in, they freed thieves, robbers and receivers of stolen goods and even gave them a working capital!

“Within a few weeks, crime returned to Kaduna, and yes, the other places and he has the effrontery to speak as he did. This society has no use for such squalid nonsense!

“Lazy men and women who can’t work cannot just walk in and walk out of that place with bags stuffed with money in a free-for-all. These ones have nothing to teach anyone. President Tinubu, a wise politician will equally see through their masquerade.

“Muhammadu has done his part and left. History will judge him, and fairly I think.”
