Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has shared his thoughts on the late President Muhammadu Buhari’s time in office, saying many Nigerians were let down after placing high hopes in him.
Speaking in an interview with PUNCH, Sani said Nigerians once believed Buhari could easily solve the country’s problems. But he said things changed after Buhari took office, and even Buhari admitted ruling Nigeria was harder than expected. He said this showed Buhari may not have realized how serious the challenges were or overestimated his ability to manage them.
His words,
“Buhari raised their hopes so high and made them believe he had a magical solution to Nigeria’s problems. They believed he had the magic wand—until he took over power. You could see that he once said it is not easy to govern Nigeria. That showed that he either underestimated the country’s problems or overestimated his own capacity to solve them.
