President Muhammadu Buhari was in the United States to engage in talks with American President Donald Trump in a meeting which in many’s opinion made Nigeria look really weak.
President Buhari did the country no favours as he had no retort to President Trump’s ‘Shithole countries’ remarks, neither did he seems to promote the country’s Agriculture in a way to make the people proud.
Former President Obasanjo has in a statement criticised this meeting stating that there really wasn’t any tangible benefit for Nigeria and that Buhari’s performance was a failure.
The statement, written by Obasanjo’s media aide, read in part: “From the Buhari/Trump meeting, Chief Obasanjo only saw through three points: One, the US will continue to reduce purchase of crude oil from Nigeria and there is nothing Nigeria under Buhari can do about it.
“Two, the US will export agricultural products to Nigeria and Buhari’s government will encourage that; and three, all the killings taking place in Nigeria by herdsmen are being done by expatriates trained by Gadaffi and no Nigerian is to blame and Buhari cannot do anything to stop it.
“For whatever the meeting was worth, President Buhari again bungled another opportunity to self-redeem.
“No wonder President Trump ordered him in a rather condescending manner to go back home and stop the killings going on in Nigeria!
“We hope now that Buhari will heed Trump’s advice, which hopefully will be considered non-abusive.
“Therefore, Chief Obasanjo is more convinced in his statement of January 23 and will not change his position.
“No lie, fake news dished out by these desperate and unintelligent supporters is worth believing and these misinformation cartel and social media dogs will do more damage to the flint reputation of their principal.”
