Garba Shehu Seeks Lower Expectations On Tinubu’s Performance

Garba Shehu, former Spokesperson to immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, has urged Nigerians to lower their expectations that President Bola Tinubu and other political leaders will manifest outstanding performance while in office.

The ex-presidential media aide, who spoke at the 21st Daily Trust Annual Dialogue organised by Trust Media Group in Abuja on Thursday, said; “President Muhammadu Buhari is a victim of the crisis of expectations. And I think that the lesson for Nigerians from what I saw during the Buhari period and even Tinubu is that Nigerians should begin to lower their expectations of political leaders.

“This is because these expectations are simply inhuman. Leaders can do a lot of things, but no leader can do everything. During the time of Buhari, travellers to the Eastern Region used to spend about three days on the road, but after massive investment in infrastructure by Buhari, the travel time has reduced to about six hours.’

According to him; “The government then also banned the importation of rice. After that, our farmers became so productive that production of rice skyrocketed and we were even feeding the whole of West Africa”. – With NAN reports
