Dr. Junaid Mohammed has called on the presidency to provide the truth about Buhari's health,He said this will help to avoid problems in the future.The former lawmaker said the president has not achieved anything yet.
Dr. Junaid Mohammed has questioned the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for not living up to the change it promised just as it said the truth must be told about his health.
Junaid had earlier claimed the president was sick and accused him of not owning up to his errors although this was refused by Garba Shehu who accused Junaid of seeking attention.
Vanguard reports that the second republic lawmaker replied saying Shehu was under pressure to defend his boss insisting President Buhari was ill which was why he was always going on medical check-up.
Junaid charges Buhari to fulfil campaign promises
He said: “I believe Shehu is under pressure which is why he attacked me. However, I believe strongly they need to stop lying to Nigerians about Mr President’s health. Can they actually tell Nigerians what this medical leave or routine check-up is? They don’t seem to be telling us the truth”.
Junaid insisted he has been Buhari’s friend since he was a second lieutenant in the Army which was why he was telling him the truth.
He said: “If I am to comment on issues that concern Nigerians, I won’t shy away from telling President Buhari the home truth anywhere he is making mistakes. I criticized General Abacha as Head of State and told him some truths in private and sometimes face to face. I believe if people can challenge their friends in power, it shows they are not intimidated by the powerful”.
“If Aisha Buhari can say what she said about her husband, I think the President needs to check himself and retrace his steps on some issues that concerns the country. I think the question the President needs to ask himself is that after one he has taken over the reigns of power, what has changed? Is Nigeria better off than when he took over on May 29, 2015? The truth is that Nigeria is worse off today than when Buhari took over the reigns of power.
“Every Nigerian today is worse off and nothing seems to be working under this government. Some who are rich in 2015 cannot say same today due to the economic woes that Nigeria is presently experiencing and we cannot continue to close our eyes off it.
“This administration has failed in tamming the economic woes that seems to have turned everyone poor in present day Nigeria. Even though the administration made some giant strides in the fight against Boko Haram, the country is still not safe as people still live in fears even in Kano today. And there is also political crises in the party where President won his own election. So the President seems to be at war with everyone including the National Assembly members”.
“I believe President Buhari should engage in turning around the fortunes of Nigeria economically, politically and security wise. By now, his administration should have stopped blaming the Jonathan government for their woes. I believe that in Politics, you take assets and liabilities”
