Professor Ben Nwabueze, a
renowed Lawyer and President of
the Patriots, a revered group of
Elder statesmen in Nigeria, says
President Buhari lacks the
intellectual capacity to rule a
complex country like Nigeria.

Nwabueze said this in an interview
with The Sun newspaper.

“I do not think that it is a
question of not being prepared.

Don’t forget that the 2015 election
was his fourth time of contesting,
of making an attempt at being
President.

He tried to be president for 12
years. So, he had more than
enough time to prepare himself if
he had the capacity. So, it is not
that he was not prepared. The fact
is that he lacks the capacity to
govern as the problems are beyond
him.

Even if you give him 20 years to
prepare, it would still be beyond
his capacity. Nigeria is a very
complex country. I have told you
before, that we have 389 ethnic
nationalities.

The complexities and the issues
involved in ruling such a country
are huge. Leading such a complex
country is an intellectual issue and
Buhari does not have the
intellectual capacity to
comprehend what it means to
govern the country” he said
