Buhari is a joke, a parody of the 21st century —Atiku

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a “joke, a parody of the 21st century.”

Atiku stated this in response to Buhari’s showing at a Town Hall meeting anchored by the Nigeria Television Authority in Abuja on Wednesday.

He said the president’s performance was a “comedy show”, adding that the event showed that Buhari was neither prepared to rule for another four years, nor has a reason to seek a second term.

Atiku stated this in a statement on Thursday through his media aide, Phrank Shuaibu.

“The town hall meeting neither added value nor content to public discuss. Clearly, it exposed the fact that the incumbent is neither prepared to rule for another four years, nor does he have a reason to seek a second term.

“The President’s responses to questions border more on classic dementia than reason. It was practically a display of wretched illiteracy,” he said.

Further noting that Buhari at the event showed that he lacked knowledge of the goings on in his administration, he added, “It is a shame that this is the best that a supposed ruling party can produce in the 21st century: a man lacking in vision, elementary knowledge and depth. Buhari is a joke, a parody of the 21st century.

“This man has shown that he is unfit to be an administrator of a WhatsApp group, let alone being President of Nigeria. He is not fit, neither should he be allowed to lead the over 200 million Nigerians in the 21st century.

“Of a truth, President Buhari is a man to be pitied because it is apparent he cannot help himself. It is now left for Nigerians who are desirous of charting a new course for their country to salvage it by voting Atiku Abubakar on February 16, 2019.”
