Aisha Yesufu, one of the leaders of #BringBackOurGirls# campaign has said that President Muhammadu Buhari should forget about re-contesting for the presidency in 2019, describing him as a failure and clueless.
With regard to how Buhari has handled the Boko Haram, the Chibok girls, the Libya girls and other issues of concern in Nigeria, Yesufu said it would amount to disservice to the nation of Buhari is allowed to re-contest in 2019.
She said: “President Buhari is failing, he is clueless, things are happening in his government that he does not seem to have a clue about.”
Speaking on GatefieldTV programme, #ConversationswithAbangMercy, Yesufu accused the President of playing politics with the issue of the rescued Chibok girls and said he has failed if all of the girls are not brought back.
Yesufu added: “It’s not a privilege for Chibok Girls to be rescued. 2014, 2015 the President was shouting Chibok Girls, Chibok Girls, Chibok Girls during elections.
“So if Chibok Girls were good enough for election, Chibok Girls are good enough for rescue.”
Yesufu also told a story of one of the rescued Chibok girls who is now with a kidney condition, abandoned and badly treated by the government.
She quoted the girl as saying that she regrets leaving the Boko Haram terrorists because she would have received better care.
Yesufu added: “A girl that has gone through so much hell in the hands of terrorists is now saying it would have been better she’d stayed with terrorists. That says a lot….”
Ruling out for Buhari in 2019 Yesufu said: “He should take whatever remains of the ‘so called’ integrity that he has and go home with it. Right now he has failed. Being the President is more than walking upright and wearing starched white Agbada.”
