Lower your expectations of Tinubu – Ex-President Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu advises Nigerians

Malam Garba Shehu, a former presidential aide, has asked Nigerians to decrease their expectations for President Bola Tinubu’s administration of the country.

Shehu made the call while addressing at the Trust Media Group’s 21st Daily Trust Annual Dialogue in Abuja on Friday.

The former Presidential spokesman described former President Muhammadu Buhari as a victim of the crisis of expectation.

He asked Nigerians to learn from the past administration and not expect too much, saying Nigerians should lower their expectations of political leaders.

He said, “President Muhammadu Buhari is a victim of the crisis of expectations and I think that the lesson for Nigerians from what I saw during the Buhari period and even Tinubu is, that Nigerians should begin to lower their expectations on political leaders.

“This is because these expectations are simply inhuman. Leaders can do a lot of things but no leader can do everything.

“During the time of Buhari, travellers to the Eastern Region used to spend about three days on the road, but after massive investment in infrastructure by Buhari, the travel time has reduced to about six hours.

“The government then also banned the importation of rice; after that, our farmers became so productive that production of rice skyrocketed and we were even feeding the whole of West Africa.”
