The President of the Middle Belt Forum (MBF), Bitrus Pogu has said Buhari’s Government is a failure and will be leaving the country worse off.

The forum President, Bitrus Pogu, said this in an interview with Arise TV on Tuesday.

President Buhari had disclosed in a documentary released on his 80th birthday that he has faced harassment from Nigerians despite giving his best to service since inception of office.

Pogu said Buhari-led government has failed in its promises to Nigerians, stating that even in infrastructure, many of the credit being taken by the government are just cosmetic addition to what Good luck Jonathan had done while he was in office.

He added that the administration ran by nepotism and advised that the President needs to look back and be objective in accepting his failure.

“When Buhari was coming to power, he made a lot of promises. Judging from his performance so far, we’ll say he has failed. Economy, rather than improve, has worsened off. Insecurity under him has also escalated. Maybe lately for threats of impeachment by the National Assembly, things are now improving.

“It is clear nepotism has become the rule of the day to the extent that critical areas in the government are headed by one section of the country. Going by this, the President has not performed well.

“If we consider the infrastructural developments, what we see are cosmetic efforts on the foundations made by Goodluck Jonathan adminstration.

“We are using borrowed funds. The country is indebted unnecessarily. If there is any assessment so far, it can only be said that the country is retrogressive. We have a lackadaisical government that supervises losses in the case of oil theft and others,” Pogu said.
