President Buhari Does Not Believe In Nigeria — Prof. Odinkalu

*Says Buhari Sees Himself As Northern Muslim
*Describes Buhari as narrow-minded
*Says By The Time Buhari Is Done With Nigeria, It Will Take More Than Prayer To Salvage The Country

The former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Professor Chidi Odinkalu, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari does not believe in Nigeria.

In an interview with Sunday Tribune, Odinkalu said Buhari sees himself as a northern Muslim. He described Buhari as “narrow-minded” and as a person who understands only narrowness. He also described Buhari as a disaster.

He said, “I don’t think Buhari believes in Nigeria nor does he believe he is from Nigeria. Buhari believes he is a Northern Muslim from the North-West of Nigeria and he treats Nigeria as if it comprises the 13 states of the North-West and the North-East. The NorthWest is where his father comes from and the NorthEast is where his mother comes from.

“Nigerians gave Buhari the opportunity to prove himself. But he has shown himself as narrow and hateful. Buhari is narrow-minded and understands only narrowness. Now, we know he is a disaster. And he wasn’t just a disaster in 1984, he is a disaster now.”

Furthermore, Odinkalu said by the time Buhari is done with Nigeria, it would take more than prayers to prevent the world from having a Janazah, an Islamic funeral prayer, for the country.

He said, “When he is done with the country, we will need more than ‘hail Mary’ and prayers to prevent the world from having a [salat al-] Janazah for Nigeria. That is really how bad the situation is right now.”
