Governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Tambuwal has stated that Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari is directionless.
This was stated on Friday by the Sokoto governor at an event in Yenogoa, the capital of Bayelsa state.
Tambuwal said citizens are on their own and the government is being run as though there is no one in charge.
“So many people are making this mistake of saying that Nigeria is on autopilot, if an aircraft is on autopilot you are sure of safety, you are sure of direction, you are sure of even possible landing because there is technological control,” he said.
“That is not the situation in Nigeria today. Nigeria is directionless, there is no pilot, there’s no autopilot. Everybody is on his own even the government is being run as if there is no one in control.
“That is the reason we have been talking to ourselves in our party and reaching out to other well-meaning patriots to come together to rescue this country and rebuild it.
“We are in such a state that we are in distress and we need every hand from within and from our friends.
“There is insecurity, economic woes, and bad leadership. No state is spared from insecurity, no part of this country is safe and secure at the moment.
“In this present situation in our country, you can’t be talking about investment, you can’t be talking about development. You have to establish peace before talking about rebuilding the country.”
Tambuwal has been traversing the country consulting stakeholders over his presidential bid.
In March, a support group claimed it purchased the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential nomination and expression of interest forms for him.
