On the 17th of December 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari will be 73 years old. Although this should naturally call for celebration as the president is ageing gracefully, some people might be worried for the Daura-born former military general.
This is because Buhari seem to be affected by his age as his several gaffes at different fora has become a source for concern for even his ardent supporters.
Naij.com has compiled a series of avoidable mistakes that the president has made that has caused Nigeria and indeed Nigerians embarrassment both at home and abroad.
Read below:
1. Before he became the president, Buhari, at a rally in Owerri, the Imo state capital, openly called his deputy and current vice president, Professor Yemi Osibande. His name is Professor Yemi Osibajo.
2. Days later, Buhari who was live on international news channel, Cable News Network (CNN) and being interviewed by veteran journalist, Christine Amanpour, referred to his political party as “All Progressives Confidence” instead of All Progressives Congress (APC).
3. In that same interview, Buhari confidently referred to Nigeria’s electoral body as “Independent Nigeria Electoral Commission” instead of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
4. Recently, in far away Germany, President Buhari referred to German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, as President Michelle. The president is apparently not aware that Ms. Merkel is referred to as “Chancellor” and the president of Germany is Joachim Gauck.
5. In the same event, President Buhari referred to Germant as “West Germany”. Meanwhile, Germany ceased to be West Germany in 1990.
Meanwhile, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele has predicted doom for the APC and the new administration headed by Muhammadu Buhari.
