Senator Adams Oshiomhole has attributed the untold hardship currently faced by the common man in Nigeria to immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari.
The ordinary Nigerians are presently in a dire straits, a situation Oshiomhole said is not wrought by the incumbent President Bola Tinubu saying, “Yes, it is our party platform. Like Tinubu also said, he was not a minister or adviser. He never took a contract in that government and he cannot be held responsible for what the government did right or wrong.”
The former Edo State governor declared this in an interview he granted Channels Television on Sunday in which he laid the blame for the ugly situation at Tinubu’s predecessor’s doorstep.
“My first loyalty is to Nigeria. At some point, before the last President left office, I lamented loudly what I saw as reckless policies that were designed to dehumanise the population that was already in pain.
“I felt that it was not what the then-president promised. I dissociated myself from those policies and I’m happy that I was not the only one.
“There were governors who approached the court to denounce some of those policies. It is the long-term consequences of those policies that we are still grappling with now,” he said.
