“Some people believe it is Tinubu that spoils the country; it is not Tinubu. When Buhari was in government, I was shouting for us (Yoruba) to be united and free ourselves from slavery, saying that Buhari did not have anything to offer us," he said.

ỤzọChukwu Nwaụbanị commented on Facebook:
"What does he know about even primary economics. The manner the Nigerian media are uplifting and praising hooligans is ridiculous."
Obi Maxemus said:
"He is looking for help from Tinubu because of hunger, so don't blame him."
Hakeem 'Kareem Olalekan
"Continue playing your ethnic card as usual, Buhari had done his part and today, Tinubu is at the helm of affairs while things have become more difficult for Nigerians since day one he became president."
Shedy Kachi said:
"Who brought Buhari, and who was the party leader under Buhari? Their political ambition is more important than the feeling of the citizens."
Kehinde Oluwole Sunday said:
"Tinubu is the architect of it all, he can not be exonerated because he formed an alliance that brought Buhari on us.
"When things were going wrong, he was there instead of blaming Buhari Tinubu was commending him because of his ambition."
