Buhari is God’s punishment for Nigeria, says ex-Ambassador, Farounbi

Former Nigerian Ambassador to the Philippines, Dr Yemi Farounbi, says President Muhammadu Buhari is God’s punishment for Nigeria.

Farounbi, a veteran broadcast journalist, also said he was not surprised at the current situation the country had found itself because Nigerians were warned during the 2014/2015 presidential campaign about President Buhari’s past.

The former envoy, who stated these while featuring on a live weekly radio show in Ibadan, explained that imprisonment of politicians was one of the bad sores inflicted by Buhari during his reign ss military head of state.

Farounbi said, “In 2014/2015 when we were campaigning, when Nigerians decided to accept the campaign of one chance, they were warned of the history of Muhammadu Buhari and how he imprisoned many politicians, including Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

“God is a wonderful being. He decided to use Buhari to punish Nigerians for their evil deeds and Nigerians deserve these punishments.”

While expressing hope that Nigeria will become better, he accused corrupt politicians of frustrating the birth of a a better Nigeria

Ambassador Farounbi, however, stated that Buhari can still redeem his image by becoming Nigeria’s best president if he could sincerely restructure the country into six geographical zones.

This, he said, will help to strengthen the country’s economy and political space.
