The National Chairman of the Unity Party of Nigeria, and founder of
Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Frederick Fasehun has said President
Muhammadu Buhari is fast loosing focus with his administration.
Fasehun, in a statement, expressed disappointment over the present
administration which he said seemed like an experience of hope but has
now dashed the expectations of Nigerians.
He condemned Buhari’s incessant trips all over the world describing it
as a huge distraction which would derail his development plans.
He called on Buhari to desist from chasing shadows and face the issues
facing Nigerians rather than gallivanting from one country to another
without adequate attention to the immediate issues bothering the
country.
Fasehun said: “The President is missing in action. Initially, we said
Nigeria under Buhari was flying in autopilot but now the country has
receded into ‘sabbaticals’, with no petrol, no jobs, no power, no
salaries, and people are waiting for their President to give them a
Happy New Year, especially when the time comes to pay children’s
school fees in the new year.
“Nigerians are concerned about the lingering insecurity, the missing
Chibok girls, the puzzling fuel shortage, unemployment, galloping
inflation, the falling value of the naira, the dwindling value of
stocks in the capital market, the power crisis and so on.
“The government should concentrate on finding solutions to all these
and stop this futile chasing of shadows.”
The party leader also condemned Buhari’s Anti-corruption war where
members of the ruling party are tagged “saints” and the opposition
evil and corrupt, adding that any attempt by the All Progressives
Congress, APC,-led Federal Government to suppress the opposition would
fail.
“The continued covering of APC politicians widely seen as corrupt
shows that the so-called fight against corruption is merely a
witch-hunt aimed at the opposition,” he said.
