One of the leaders of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima has countered the statement of presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina that President Muhammadu Buhari would not be leaving the country the way he met it when he remarked that the president has drawn the country backward by a century.

Adesina had, in a statement on Sunday, hailed his principal and, in his opinion, said Buhari would not be leaving the country better than he met it.

In reaction, Galadima, who was a guest on Arise Television’s Morning Show program Wednesday, said; “We wish that he (Buhari) could have kept the country (as he met it) on May 29, 2015. We could have clapped for him and escorted him to Daura or wherever he intends to live after leaving office.

“The man has set Nigeria 100 years back, divided Nigeria across religious lines, along ethnic lines and crashed economic policies that have left the dollar which he met at N157/$1 and he’s now leaving it at N800/$1, that is if you see the dollar to buy.

“And insecurity was confined to the North East generally, except some dark spots that had happened in Abuja, Kano, and some few other places. Today, you cannot travel to any part of Nigeria with your eyes closed. You have to spend the night praying that God delivers you.

“If that’s the kind of Nigeria that Femi Adesina wants, then I pray to God to visit him with what the common people suffer daily in Nigeria.”
