I’m Disappointed In The Way He Is Handling This Covid-19 Crisis – Adamu Garba Attacks Buhari


Former presidential aspirant and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has faulted President Muhammadu Buhari with the way his administration is handling the scourge of coronavirus in the country.


At the moment, 65 persons have been tested positive for the deadly disease while the results of many others are being awaited.

Since the outbreak of the disease in Nigeria, President Buhari was rarely seen in the media to update Nigerians on his efforts to contain the killer disease.

This, however, did not go down well with Adamu Garba II, who hitherto was an ardent supporter of President Buhari.

The APC chieftain in a series of tweets on Friday, said at this kind of time, the president should be on the forefront of the citizens, reassuring them of efforts on safety but the reverse is the case.

He, therefore, asked the President to come forward and address Nigerians properly about these issues.

Garba wrote:

“Despite my well known support for the President Muhammadu Buhari, I cannot go with the fact that I’m grossly disappointed in the way he is handling this Covid-19 Crisis.

“President’s, at this kind of time should be on the forefront of the citizens, reassuring them of efforts on safety.

“The President’s main constituency is the poor, in his tweets, N10Bn was allotted to Lagos, 5Bn to Nigeria Center Disease Control, but nothing was made available for common men & women who have no means of livelihood against the backdrop of stay-at-home order.

“Why would ordinary Nigerians be last option?

“What is more challenging is the complete silence from the President himself, who should take the center stage & show his commitment, physically, emotionally & mentally in solidarity with the citizens at this trying times.

“All we hear is rumor everywhere, where is the President?

“A democratic nation should not run like this. A situation where our President is not in front of Cameras attending to the citizens cannot be what we hope for in democracy.

“I trust in the President sincere intention for Nigeria, but there must be demonstration in times like this.

“The Conscientiousness of a country lies on the Presidential seat. The Moral Compass of anyone holding such high office should direct citizens by empathy & compassion

“Presidents are like the Sun through which all citizens derives energy, like solar system. Silence is undeserving.

“Who is responsible for poor & vulnerable citizens? Who should be there for them?

“Where is the N1.1trn and N50bn intervention fund released by the CBN? to whom? Can ordinary Nigerian access this fund? How?

“The President need to come forward & address us properly about these issues.”

'I Tried My Best' - Arsenal Boss Arteta Believes He Did All He Could To Include Axed Ozil

The 32-year-old did not feature for the Gunners after lockdown and was subsequently omitted from the club's 25-man Premier League squad. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes he did all he could to give Mesut Ozil a fair shot before he axed the German from his squad.  Ozil's name was not among Arsenal's 25-man Premier League squad that was released earlier this month, which followed the playmaker's exclusion from Arsenal's Europa League squad. As the 32-year-old enters the final months of his contract with the Gunners, it now appears likely that he has played his final game for the team. Ozil did play a part for Arsenal last season, at one point starting 10 consecutive Premier League games for the Gunners before the coronavirus lockdown in March. The playmaker did not make a single appearance for Arsenal after lockdown, however, but Arteta has still insisted he gave Ozil every chance to impress before he was omitted from his team. "What I can tell you that I...

Arteta Must Be Strong To Survive Allegri Rumours’ – Arsenal Boss Can’t Show Weakness, Says Smith

The former Gunners striker has urged an under-fire Spaniard to prove that he is the right man for the job and end links to an ex-Juventus coach Alan Smith claims it is “an open secret” that former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is being recommended to Arsenal amid their ongoing struggles, with Mikel Arteta told he is going to have to show no weakness in order to “survive” the rumours. The Gunners have continued to stumble out of the blocks in 2020-21, with their worst start made to a Premier League campaign. Inability to establish any kind of momentum has the north London outfit languishing in the bottom-half of the table and glancing anxiously over their shoulder at the drop zone below them. Unsurprisingly, questions are being asked of Arteta’s ongoing presence, with a rookie coach finding out the hard way just how tough life at the top can be. Arsenal have offered no indication that they are contemplating another managerial change, but Smith says potential successors – including ...

Arsenal's £72m Enigma: Arteta Right To Demand More From Mercurial Pepe

The Gunners' record signing may have scored his third goal of the season on Thursday night but his manager wants consistency across 90 minutes. Mikel Arteta’s answer was clear when asked what Nicolas Pepe needed to show in order to earn himself a regular starting spot in Arsenal's Premier League team. “Consistency,” said the Arsenal boss, when quizzed on the Gunners’ record signing, following Thursday’s night’s 4-1 Europa League win against Molde at the Emirates Stadium. It was a game that perfectly encapsulated the enigma that is Pepe. The £72 million ($95m) man was infuriating at times - especially in the first half - but just as he had done against Dundalk a week earlier, he popped up with an excellent goal. He also went on to add an assist for Joe Willock, a late strike which sealed a comfortable victory for Arteta’s side and all but booked Arsenal’s passage into the knockout stages. It was a classic Pepe performance and more evidence of why he remains such a puzzle in nort...
