Democracy Day: You Read Same Speech Every Year, Make Empty Promises – Shehu Sani to Buhari

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has been tackled over his Democracy Day speech.

 

Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker lambasted Buhari accusing him of making empty promises to Nigerians.

 

According to him, yesterday's speech was exactly the same he had delivered in previous years.

 

Sani noted that the President’s speech is coated with empty promises just as those of previous years

 

One of the key points of Buhari’s speech was when the President said he lived daily in grief and worry over victims of terrorists attacks in Nigeria and this was not the first time he has expressed grief over the security situation of the country with little or nothing done to bring it under control.

 

Buhari concluded his speech, being his very last as President, by further assuring of his commitment to protect Nigeria and Nigerians from all enemies from within and outside.

 

He also promised Nigerians a free, fair and transparent electoral process come 2023.

 

And in reacting, the former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the Senate, tweeted, “The President’s democracy day speech is not different from all his previous speeches, other than this one is the last; full of assurances and promises and empty in delivery. Anyway, this time he was shy to blame ‘16 years of misrule’.”
