A Senator on the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) platform, representing Kano Central, Rufai Hanga, has rubbished the eight-year tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari, labelling it a colossal failure....CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>
The NNPP chieftain said Buhari’s two terms in office were ruled by a cabal, accusing the Daura man of leaving Nigeria worse than he met it.

Commenting further on the sentiments that the northerners who are now criticising Tinubu for nepotism were silent during Buhari’s administration, Hanga said: “I believe in Tinubu because he knows what he is doing, but Buhari knew nothing; all he wanted was power.

“The South-South also benefited. The only part of the country that didn’t benefit anything was the South-East, unfortunately, because of who he is.
“He deliberately came out to show his hatred and disdain for the South-East. In the North-West, only his family benefited. These are facts. Most members of his cabal were from the Northeast, and that is why they benefited,” the NNPP chieftain noted during a recent interview with Daily Sun…CONTINUE READING>>
