Buhari is a Victim of High Expectations – Garba Shehu

Garba Shehu, former media aide to former President Mohammadu Buhari has his principal was trapped in a crisis of expectations from Nigerians.

Mr Shehu stated this in his remark at the 21st Daily Trust Annual Dialogue organised by Trust Media Group on Thursday in Abuja.

He said his principal no doubt had some challenges in ruling the country which to him is normal, adding that there no nation or.leader that never had challenges.

President Muhammadu Buhari is a victim of crisis of expectations; and I think that the lesson for Nigerians from what I saw during the Buhari period and even Tinubu is, Nigerians should begin to lower their expectations on 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 on infrastructure by Buhari, the travel time have reduced to about six hours.

“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,” Mr Shehu said.

According to him, Nigerians are still feeding well today.

He said if one doesn’t know where he or she is coming from, one would not know where he or she is going to.
