Buhari lacks understanding of Nigeria - Akintola

– Chief Adeniyi Akintola (SAN) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari does not understand Nigeria
– He says that Buhari will not implement the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference
– Akintola says that there is great need for Nigeria to operate a federal system
– He said Jonathan was not sincere enough to make some implementation of the confab report
The senior advocate said he doesn’t see Buhari implementing the 2014 conference report because Buhari “isn’t a politician and he doesn’t understand the political arithmetic of Nigeria and he doesn’t understand the political geography.
Chief Akintola says Buhari lacks the true understanding of Nigeria.
Of course, he has been Head of State before, he has been governor, he has been a minister but he still doesn’t understand the complexity of the structure.
He isn’t in the mould of an Obasanjo or a Babangida. Even when you look at his exposure and administrative style, it is a style that is patterned after his military background.
Everything he does, even in speech presentation, even in body language. So, he isn’t a politician in the mould of Obasanjo and Babangida who are military-politicians.
For instance, IBB knows everybody that is somebody in this country; he will address them by their first name; Obasanjo knows everybody that is somebody in every nook and cranny of the country. These are people who understand Nigeria and they know it in and out.”
