The Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Lagos Archdiocese and former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), His Eminence Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie has said Buhari’s performance so far had been below the average mark, which does not support the calls for his second term.

He added that the President’s first term report card would be a stumbling block for his quest for re-election.

According to Okogie, those calling Buhari out for another shot at the Presidency do not mean well for Buhari and the nation.

“They are simply enemies of Nigeria,” he insisted.

Speaking with Newtelegraph newspaper, the cleric said: “As far as Cardinal Anthony Okogie is concerned, his first term is bad; I think it’s below the average mark.

“So, this will not give him a better chance to stand for a second term. From what is on ground, I don’t think he will get anywhere. The main thing that Nigerians want now is to see the dividends of democracy in action.

“They are telling us that we have pulled out of the recession. Go to the market, there’s nothing like that. There’s no sign of improvement. What is sold for N10 still sells for N10 or even at N12. Is that what you call improvement of the economy?

“They promised to do everything but on getting into saddle, they keep procrastinating. Look at the state of the nation today. It’s as if there is no government.”
