AS the 2023 general election draws near, a former All Progressives Congress (APC), Chieftain Hajiya Najaatu Muhammad has stated that she will not make the same error on Tinubu, (APC’s presidential candidate) as she did on Buhari.
Najaatu said she followed Buhari blindfolded without an agenda and that mistake shouldn’t be repeated.
Najaatu noted in an interview with Trust TV’s Daily Politics that she had been a supporter of Buhari before ultimately losing her trust in him.
She said, “I followed Buhari and millions of people followed Buhari because they thought he will change Nigeria for the better but we never gave him an agenda, we never gave him demands, we never had an agreement with him about what we want. So this time around we have to learn from experience.
“Buhari discarded all of his followers, he discarded each and every one of us. None of us was taken to the Villa. And all the promises he made concerning corruption, security, agriculture and giving Nigerians an enabling environment, he didn’t fulfil it.
Najaatu continued, “He is serving on the most corrupt government Nigeria has ever had, he pardoned some of the biggest thieves in Nigeria. You hear of billions stolen by a particular individual and the story goes under the carpet.
“Right now we are hearing of trillions, so what is he saying, he gives directives and counter directives are given, he has failed us, he has failed on his promises. Having said that, if I can make a mistake on Buhari I can not make another mistake on Asiwaju.”
Additionally, she stated that Tinubu confessed to her that he had no masterplan yet for Northern Nigeria but promised to develop a masterplan if he emerges winner in the coming elections.
She went on to say that until they met in London, she was unaware of the seriousness of Tinubu’s medical condition.
