The Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign has slammed President Muhamadu Buhari over his recent comment in the United States.

In a meeting with Al-Mahfoudh Bin Bayyah, Secretary-General of the Abu Dhabi Forum, and Bob Roberts, his deputy, President Buhari said he has done his best for the country in seven-and-a-half years.

According to a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, the President said his government is trying its possible best to address many challenges facing the nation.

He had said: “We are big in size and population, facing many challenges, but in many areas, we are trying. In seven-and-a-half years, I have done my best.”

Reacting to the statement, the LP Presidential Campaign Council said the President’s best was not good enough and has left Nigeria worse than he met it in 2015.

In a chat with Vanguard, in Abuja, on Wednesday, the Chief Spokesperson of the LP campaign council, Yunusa Tanko, describe the statement made by the President as “unfortunate”.

Tanko said Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had failed Nigerians, hence the reason behind the clarion call by patriotic Nigerians for Peter Obi to rescue the country in 2023.

He said, “It is quite unfortunate. I say so because his best has left Nigeria and Nigerians the worst for it. Today, President Buhari’s best has made Nigeria an object of pity among the comity of nations.

“We are not the worst in terms of God’s blessings in mineral deposits but we have been certified as the world’s poverty capital with 163 million of us out of about 200 million people living in abject poverty.

“Buhari’s best has turned Nigerians into one, if not the most dangerous nation to live in because of insecurity. Life for most Nigerians today is, as they say, ‘miserable, brutish and short’ because of the insecurity which has become almost a norm.

“Our farmers are being denied access to their farms by bandits, terrorists, and other non-state actors live off ransoms forced out of innocent citizens in rural communities.

“President Buhari’s best has elevated corruption to the level of statecraft with cases of corruption in government agencies treated with kid gloves.”
