Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has defended former President Muhammadu Buhari’s legacy, stating that his administration laid a solid foundation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to build upon.
How Buhari paved way for Tinubu, Igbokwe speaks
Igbokwe dismissed claims that Buhari was a failure and urged Nigerians to do the same, asserting that the former president’s imprints and achievements are obvious to all.
He made this assertion in a post shared on his Facebook page on Monday, December 30.
The APC chieftain said:
“Let nobody living or dead run away with the thinking that PMB is a failure. Perish the thought.
“He laid the solid foundation for PBAT to build on. We are seeing the footprints and the gains today.”
Igbokwe spoke a few hours after former presidential Special Adviser on Political Matters, Babafemi Ojudu, criticised President Tinubu’s government.
Ojudu claimed that Buhari’s lack of vision led him to oppose former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s presidential bid.
He, however, described Buhari as a patriot and an incorruptible leader and explained how Osinbajo was the best person to lead Nigeria not Tinubu.
