Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, says that President Buhari knows his days in office are numbered.
In a statement issued by the spokesman, he claimed that Buhari’s speech, while pointing out the need for stocktaking and the like, never once mentioned an achievement in the past year.
He also claimed that the speech read like that of someone consigned to defeat.
“Even when he admitted that the new year is time for stocktaking and the unfolding of new prospects, Nigerians are invited to note that Mr President, in his entire message, could not point to any single achievement he made last year, neither could he unfold any developmental prospect for the new year.” the statement read.

“Indeed, any discerning mind could see that President Buhari has finally switched into a valedictory mode, having realised that Nigerians have seen through the falsehood and deception that have characterised his incompetent and corrupt presidency for almost four years.
“Buhari has no prospects for security despite the daily killings in the land. Even as the commander in chief, he has no words for our gallant troops daily laying down their lives, fighting insurgents in the North-East. He had no soothing word for the victims of bloodletting in various parts of the country.”
Ologbondiyan also added that President Buhari had focused on hate speech and the upcoming elections instead of the areas of the country that really need developing.
”Instead, President Buhari dwelt on unnecessary diatribes, finger-pointing, hate speech and fixation on the 2019 general elections in which an imminent defeat awaits him and his party, the All Progressives Congress.
“The PPCO, therefore, calls on Nigerians to rescue our nation from President Buhari and his cabal by working harder in rallying behind our presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who has already articulated practical templates to reposition our nation and return her to the path of good governance, political stability and economic prosperity.”
