The Presidency has responded to the statement made by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo who described President Muhammadu Buhari’s government as a failure.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, reacted in a telephone interview with Channels Television on Monday, hours after Obasanjo made the allegation.

The former president had rated the present administration as ineffective and accused President Buhari of having a “poor understanding” of the dynamics of internal politics.

He had also asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government to stop complaining about the challenges it met on the ground.


“What we have now is failure. Never you reinforce failure, let failure be failure… Those of you who are in business, your business could have been better today if we have a competent and effective and performing government,” Obasanjo said, two months after he first criticised the government.

In his reaction, Adesina believes the former president has not said anything new and President Buhari’s administration has taken it upon itself not to join issues with the former leader.

He, however, said the statement issued by the Minister of Information and Culture, Mr Lai Mohammed, in response to the earlier criticism by former President Obasanjo had already addressed the issues raised.

The presidential aide maintained that the APC led government would keep making reference to the failures of the past administration, although they do not see it as complaining about the challenges of the country as highlighted by Obasanjo.

On the management of the economy, he noted that Nigeria now has more savings and accused the past administration of running the nation badly, despite the benefit of the price of crude under it.

Adesina said President Buhari’s government has made considerable efforts in improving the economy and infrastructure in the country.

On January 23, 2018, former President Obasanjo had issued a 13-page statement, criticising President Buhari’s performance and calling for a new movement to salvage the country from its challenges.

He had also warned the President against seeking re-election, alleging that the present government has failed in one of the areas it pitched as its ‘key point of action’ when it assumed office – the anti-corruption fight.

OBJ is always spitting fire. hmmmm

buhari and his government should accept there failure for ones , this administration has failed in every sector nothing is working poverty is at the highest level .

I hate when they try to justify themselves, What is had for them to just accept their failure

How did we got here as a nation? OBJ need to answer that...Obj was the one that called a thief to come and steal, now calling the owner to come and arrest the thief...

Buhari is a specialist in failure. He has failed everybody including his brothers and sisters even his children.

The heat is on ....2019 is going to be really interesting I must admit..

Clueless government. You can't give what you don't have.

"The presidential aide maintained that the APC led government would keep making reference to the failures of the past administration, although they do not see it as complaining about the challenges of the country as highlighted by Obasanjo."
“What we have now is failure. Never you reinforce failure, let failure be failure.........."
"Poor understanding" of a confirmed failure government Were you elected to be complaining Government is a continuum.Keep on complaining of the past & magnifying failure.
That is why the APC government remains a failure.2019 is just handy.Fools.

Baba oooo

ok, I remember this

Buhari oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Those that complain about everything always achieve nothing. APC cannot claim oblivious to Nugeria's woes before election. Lest we forget, all their campaign promises was geered towards fixing the present rot they are complaining about

Arsene Wenger and Buhari have something in common,they are specialist in failure.

What baffles me is the ability of this stupid government to keep giving excuses..when its glaring that it has failed in all aspect of economic indices.

Buhari made failure looks very simple.

Buhari = failure

Apc and buhari have failed in every sector of the economy.

The state of the economy speaks for itself... propaganda cannot change that.

When OBJ spoke against the previous government prior to 2015 elections in favour of APC he was seen as the beautiful bride ,now he speaks about the failures and propaganda of APC they call him all sorts of names.

'He whom the gods want to destroy they first make him deaf and dumb'

make election reach first.

lalasticlala and mynd44 come and see

buhari has failed Nigerian........vote KANU nwankwo come 2019
