Tukur Buratai laments massive pauperisation of Nigerians under Tinubu’s watch

Mr Buratai berated the current istration for its insensitivity to the sufferings of the Nigerian masses.

Tukur Buratai, a former Chief of Army Staff, has lashed out at President Bola Tinubu’s government for “radically and massively” pauperising Nigerians with its policies.

The former army chief, at the birthday lecture of former Rivers Governor Rotimi Amaechi on Saturday, said although past leaders pauperised the masses gradually, the Tinubu-led government took a more radical approach to make Nigerians poorer.

“During the time of IBB, the Structural Adjustment Programme and the belt-tightening policies, the foreign exchange and deregulation started fully during IBB’s period. It went on to fuel deregulation.

“Under the Shagari era, Obasanjo’s presidency, Jonathan’s presidency and of course Buhari’s presidency, we saw gradual pauperisation of Nigerians. The poverty level continuously increased gradually,” Mr Buratai said.

He maintained that Mr Tinubu’s government increased poverty massively through a radical approach to its policies.

The former army chief stated, “The only difference with this Tinubu-led istration is that it came more radical. It is massive and sudden. It – poverty – was not gradual like the previous istrations.

“It has its own advantages. It shows a change from what we have been doing. We have been suffering gradually and smiling. But this time around, it came fully to show that we must get it right.”

Mr Buratai further berated the current istration for its insensitivity to the sufferings of the Nigerian masses due to its policies.

“The main challenge is the seeming insensitivity to the massive impact of government policies – poverty insecurity are real. We all know. We believe probably the second half of this istration will make a difference. Otherwise, I can see the coalition working hard,” Mr Buratai said.

Mr Buratai was the army chief under Mr Buhari’s government. He was in charge of the Nigerian Army when soldiers opened live rounds on protesters in 2020 during #EndSARS, a historic protest against police brutality.

Similarly, Mr Buratai championed the massacre of Shiite who blocked his way as he journeyed through Kaduna State in 2015.

While he was in service, Peoples Gazette reported how IC operatives conducted an operation that led to the recovery of over N1 billion from Mr Buratai. In another report in 2021, The Gazette exposed how Mr Buratai cornered NDDC contracts as Nigerian Army general

The former National Security Adviser, Babagana Munguno, also said Mr Buratai could not for the money approved to purchase weapons during their tenure.

The Chief of Army Staff who couldn't stop boko haram and failed in his primary responsibility of defending the territorial integrity of the country!
I wager he will soon run for office and start promising heaven and earth.

I thought they made this one an ambassador to Togo or some place. Abi Tinubu removed him?

"If we can reduce their purchasing power, we can further slow down the economy "


Tinubu is already delivering on his campaign promises.

Una been think say na play.

TheAverage snake rearer is one. How did they fare under Buhari when he served? This man built schools and named after himself.

Tinubu second tenure will be shege banza promax

The noise don dey too loud because na tifffnubu dey there.

When dullhari dey there, una no talk o

See who is talking. For the atrocities you committed, you should be rottening in prison by now if not for Buhari

mark this , tinubu worst mistake will be that as a policy was to sideline igbos ,SE and largely SS and focus only on yorubas .

this emilokan tactics have led him to this point that he will be as the mercy of the north and not place to turn back to .
even his ers,in their sleep wont see 1 igbo man voting for him , he wont get much vote from SS, he wont win lagos .

the North have turned back to their own abubakar atiku .
the reminding puzzle to solve to bury tinubu 2027 ambition is the day wike is chased out of pdp , and atiku and PO form alliance under pdp .

the north wont even tolerate rigging if na rigging he is banking on.

Funny people. Just imagine a man who committed a lot Of impunity yesterday coming out as a voice of discernment.

Same Burantashi that didnt see anything wrong in Buhari's 8 years of misrule

Anyway, same nonsense government sha

fuckingAyaya:
Miscreants will come for him now

What he said make a lot of sense though

C on the beats, time for "monkeys and baboons to be soaked in blood".

OTP assured!

Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources but has been unlucky with the leadership.

Dem dey count fish, crayfish dey raise hand.

E no hard to know when these people don switch allegiance. They all speak from both side of the mouth
