Mike Ozekhome (SAN) has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year message as “embarrassingly banal”.

According to the human rights lawyer, the message failed to address biting issues in the country.

Ozekhome added that Nigerians are suffering but the speech do not in any way come with an drop of inspiration, while failing to address the corruption in the present administration.

“PMB’s New Year’s address is embarrassingly banal, uninspiring, empty, myopic, unrealistic and bereft of any benefit of historical dynamics,” the lawyer said in statement.

“It is an unfortunate metaphor for one who has lost total touch with the people and their aching pulse.”

He added that, “The speech comes straight from Stone Age Australopithecus verbiage that never showed any gravitas, sincerity of purpose and honest admission of abysmal failure, total directionless and cluelessness in the current opaque governance of the country.

“It (the broadcast) never talked about nor told Nigerians what he is doing about the putrefying and oozing corruption squarely located within his government, with overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence of fat untouchable cows left unprosecuted [sic].”
