The economic policy expert made the now-viral tweet, following the outcry of the President’s supporters over his inability to secure the country and its citizens.
“Let’s ask the ineffectual Commander-in-Chief of the Nigeria Armed Forces @MBuhari to swiftly hand over power to me so I can satisfy his supporters cry on his ignoble failure to secure the country, citizens and residents of Nigeria. I welcome their vote of confidence in me. “I welcome their vote of confidence in me,” she tweeted.
The former minister added that demanding action on any governance issue from Buhari was expecting the impossible.
“Once I analytically surmised that demanding action on any governance issue from @MBuhari was equivalent to expecting the impossible, I stopped. We have a so-called Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces, who sorely degenerated the state of our country’s security. Ignoble legacy.” Ezekwesili added in another tweet.
