Aisha Carpets Buhari, But Says She Is Not Insulting Him

By Editor

Co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group, Aisha Yesufu has delivered what could be the most damning public criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari from one of those who supported his ascension to power in 2015.

In a language and tone almost similar to depictions of Buhari’s predecessor, President Goodluck Jonathan, the civil rights activist lampooned the president for not responding positively to the state of insecurity in the country.

Her response followed the kidnap of three final year law students of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria on the Kaduna – Abuja highway on Wednesday.

Yesufu went on social media to denounce the president saying:

“When we say Mohammadu Buhari is incompetent, clueless and inept we are not insulting him. We are just saying it as it is.

“As the President and Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari has been incompetent, clueless, inept and a failure.

“The state of security today is heartbreaking. Did you hear of the ABU University students that were kidnapped? They should have been your children; they should have been you. Parents had to pay the ransom and they are back.

“I watched the video of one of the girls that were returned, she was crying. But do you know something? They (kidnappers) didn’t ask if the incompetent Muhammadu Buhari was her (one of the victims) president; they didn’t ask if she was APC, PDP, or whatever; they didn’t ask if she was from the north, south or other parts of the country. they didn’t ask whether she was a Christian or Muslim; or what tribe she was.

“They took her along other fellow students and other people. What about those who have not been able to pay the ransom? Is this how we are going to live our lives in the country? is this what we are going to continue to do? To look away and support this incompetence we have?

“No! It’s not doable. As long as one of us is not safe, all of us are not safe. the saddest thing is that this victim’s card is going from place to the other. it’s going around and the only god knows on whom it will fall.

“I’ll continue to repeat that yesterday’s victims were once survivals and today’s victims were yesterday’s survivals and tomorrow’s victims were today’s survivals. Let me tell you something, in Nigeria’s today, being a victim is no longer a matter of if its a matter of when.”
