Yerima Insists Buhari Will Be Replaced In 2019 by Nobody: 12:29pm On Feb 19, 2017 |
Alhaji Shettima Usman Yerima who is the president
of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF)
has lamented that the President Muhammadu
Buhari administration has failed to live up to
expectation.
In an interview with Vanguard, Yerima said a lot
was expected of the Buhari administration but it
has failed to deliver on its promises.
Yerima insists Buhari will be replaced in 019
He said ordinary people in the north supported
Buhari hoping that the change he promised will
make their life better but the reverse has been the
case.
The AYCF president said Buhari will be replaced in
2019 and that his replacement will be a younger
person who understands the trends in the world.
He said: “This government enjoyed a lot of
support and goodwill from the people who were
hoping that things will be better if we could put a
new government in place. And that is why they
came out en-masse to give the kind of support and
mandate the government got in 2015 against then
ruling party. And then opposition party won an
election the kind that has never happened in the
history of this country.
“Eventually we had a new government in place
but the hope of the people has been dashed. The
hope has been destroyed. So, the state of the
nation is neither here nor there. The economy is
nothing to write home about. A lot of things are
not just right. I think this is not what Nigerians
bargained for. And so, in essence, a lot of
Nigerians are not really happy.
I think we are going to bring an alternative in
2019. We have to bring a new order in the country
because we cannot afford to have a president who
is not in charge of the affairs. This is coupled with
the fact that some of us looked at his age ahead of
2015 and came up with the reservation that it was
not a good idea to have a man of his age to lead a
country like Nigeria with a population of about
200 million people. People thought we were
undermining him at that time but we said no
because somebody of Buhari’s age would find it
difficult managing his personal affairs not to talk
of the affairs of a huge country like ours. We have
nothing against President Buhari personally but
we believe somebody of his age should be home to
manage his health.
“And age is not even the problem because, when
you look at global events, the way things are
turning around universally, you will agree with
me that we need, in the saddle, somebody who is in
tune with the global reality. We need people who
are digitalization compliant to turn things around
in terms of intellectual capacity, in terms of
globalization and people who will be in touch with
the current world order. We need somebody that is
agile and knowledgeable enough to move round
the world with his counterparts. For now in
Nigeria, that is not the case. And I don’t think we
are making any headway in that direction.
“And the worst thing is that, for government to
look for capable hands that can turn around
things positively, it ended up picking individuals
that had been out of circulation for a very long
time. These outdated and spent forces constitute
government and they are not doing well. Now,
you can see the confusion everywhere. The reality
is not all about Buhari as a person. The reality is
about nature that is taking its toll on him coupled
with the situation of his health that nobody
knows. I am afraid we may fall into a
constitutional crisis we were plunged into during
the Yar’ Adua government. And that would not
augur well for us as a country.
This view is across board. You know, from what we
gathered, there are some aggrieved people who
find it difficult coming out openly to speak the
minds of their people or to express their views on
the state of the nation. But some of us who are
trained to speak the truth without minding whose
ox is gored will always come out to speak. For
now, nobody is happy with the situation.
“It is really sad that those of us from the
northern part of the country who thought the
coming of Buhari would be a new dawn for us, the
down trodden who feel marginalized and thought
would be rescued by him, are also disappointed.
The common man in the North, the pepper seller,
the sugarcane hawker, the beggar and others,
who trooped out to give him the mandate thought
he would look round to see a policy that would help
their cause, are disappointed. At the end of the
day, some of his policies are only on the air! And
directly, you cannot feel the impact.” |
