Buhari is a top contestant in failure competition – Ezekwesili
President Muhammadu Buhari has been dubbed a leading contestant in the “competition of the incompetents” by the erstwhile Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili.
Ezekwesili, who is a co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement, stated this in response to President Buhari’s
comment that his government acted faster after the abduction of the 110 Dapchi schoolgirls unlike “insensitive” former President Goodluck Jonathan administration that “looked the other way” when over 200 Chibok girls were abducted in April 2014 by Boko Haram.
But Ezekwesili described the comment as a “big shame”, adding that “Nigerians are not interested in Buhari comparing his “level of failure with another level of failure.”
“Is this not a BIG SHAME? Our President Buhari is a leading contestant in the “Competition of the Incompetents.

“We the citizens are not interested in this game of comparing one level of failure with another level of failure so please collect your #RedCardToAPCAndPDP,” Ezekwesili wrote on her Twitter handle.
