#EndSARS: Ganduje’s aide attacks Buhari, says president insensitive, lacks empathy

The media aide to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, Salihu Tanko, on Sunday, endorsed the ongoing protest against police brutality and condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s handling of critical issues affecting the lives of ordinary Nigerians.

Mr Tanko, in a tweet said that the action of the president is betraying those that voted him and typical supporters at the grassroots including himself who has been supporting the president since he debuted in politics.

Mr Tanko tweeted “I’ve never seen a government with zero emphaty like that of president Buhari. So many times when his people are going through difficult time and expect some sort of tab on shoulder to reassure them that he is in charge, but he failed to do so.

“The I don’t care attitude is on another level,” Mr Tanko wrote.

He added that “To speak to your people over issues that are bedevilling them has become something like a favour you are doing to them.

“Over and over again, you cannot spare five minutes and address the nation to calm them down, the same people you went round to the 36 states to beg for their votes, its heartbreaking,” the official wrote.

I’ve never seen a govt with zero emphaty like that of @MBuhari. So many times when his people are going through a difficult time & expect some sort of tap on shoulder to reassure them that he is in charge, but he failed to do so. The ‘i don’t care attitude ‘ is on another level

Mr Tanko’s principal, Mr Ganduje, is in the same party, APC, as President Buhari but that did not deter him from the public criticism.

  1. The president always articulates on the issues properly before action for the good all that is why some times it looks as if he is slow but it’s not, u know giving order for total disbandment of SARS is not a problem for him but the out come. I don’t think that we should forget in a hurry what we suffered in the paste in the hand of robbers that compelled the government to introduce the SARS, So I think total disbandment of SARS is not the best for the nation in this material time but to relax their operations.
