Hon. Yakubu Dogara.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the former APC spokesperson wondered why Buhari chose to \u201clie during the Holy month of Ramadan\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He called on Buhari to stop his blame-game, face reality for once and apologise to Nigerians for leading a calamitous regime of pain and penury.<\/p>\n<p>According to Frank: \u201cBlame your lethargy, flip-flops and incompetence for your failure, not Saraki and Dogara.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is you the people elected as President to exercise executive powers and not Saraki and Dogara whose duties are to supervise the passage of legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny leader who completely abdicates responsibility for his action or inaction cannot by any stretch of imagination be said to be a good leader. If at the twilight of a four-year tenure Mr. President is shopping for new scapegoats, At what point would he realize that its was under his government that Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many jobs has this administration created for our teeming unemployed youths. It is unfortunate that Nigerians got a man whose archaic policies and personal ineptitude led a once thriving economy into a tailspin and perpetual downward slide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is further regrettable that Buhari who claims to be a man of integrity has failed all integrity indicators in leadership and personal character of being true to self.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly last week, the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) alerted Nigerians that will soon resume its suspended strike following the refusal of the Buhari to honour agreement it reached with the union early this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank said it is on record that under Buhari, all budgets were presented in late December and for the last four years budget performance has remained between a woeful 25 to 30 per cent while the appropriated amounts were brazenly stolen without consequence.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cOnly recently, Buhari\u2019s wife, Aisha, cried out that the N500billion Social Intervention Programme was never implemented, even as there are no mosquito nets to show for a scandalous sum of N16billion set aside for that purpose. Is the SIP being implemented by Saraki and Dogara or the aides of the President?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The activist maintained that rather than the 8th National Assembly being the problem, Buhari has been the real cog in the wheels of the nation\u2019s progress and development.<\/p>\n<p>He called on the President to immediately apologise to Nigerians for leading them with subterfuge and outright misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is on record that Buhari refuses to sign several bills passed by the 8th National Assembly like the Electoral Act, Proceeds of Crime Bill, Petroleum Industry Governance Bill, etc, that would have impacted positivity on the nation\u2019s electoral system, the fight against corruption and the petroleum sector respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy engage in blame game when you cannot discern quality minds nor fathom a brilliant and workable idea even if it were to come from perceived political opponents?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that the achievements of Buhari in the last four years remain gargantuan propaganda, poverty, suicides and comatose economy for which he has not stopped to blame the 16 year rule of the opposition party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also believe that Buhari has nothing in stock for Nigerians in the next four years, reason he has shifted his pastime of blame for failure to Saraki and Dogara.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf anything, the unbridled corruption in Buhari\u2019s administration and the thieving aides around him should be held responsible for his unabashed failures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it not laughable that \u201cBaba Go Slow\u201d has got people to blame for the snail speed of his government?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA President whose district head was kidnapped and whose Emirate Council since has suspended the celebration of the this year\u2019s Eid-el-Fitri as a result of insecurity is blaming Saraki and Dogara for his cluelessness,\u201d Frank declared.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank on Tuesday called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take responsibility for what he termed a \u201ccolossal failure\u201d to make any positive impact in the last four years.
