Learn from Buhari, reduce your expectations of Tinubu

A former presidential aide, Malam Garba Shehu, has described former President Muhammadu Buhari as a victim of the crisis of expectation, urging Nigerians to learn from the past administration and not expect too much.

Speaking during the 21st Daily Trust Annual Dialogue organised by Trust Media Group in Abuja, Shehu asked Nigerians to lower their expectations of political leaders.

The former Presidential spokesman said: “President Muhammadu Buhari is a victim of the crisis of expectations and I think that the lesson for Nigerians from what I saw during the Buhari period and even Tinubu is, that Nigerians should begin to lower their expectations on political leaders.

“This is because these expectations are simply inhuman. Leaders can do a lot of things but no leader can do everything.

“During the time of Buhari, travellers to the Eastern Region used to spend about three days on the road, but after massive investment in infrastructure by Buhari, the travel time has reduced to about six hours.

“The government then also banned the importation of rice; after that, our farmers became so productive that production of rice skyrocketed and we were even feeding the whole of West Africa.”
