Omoyele Sowore, 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), has launched a sharp critique of Major General Yusuf Tukur Buratai, former Chief of Army Staff under President Muhammadu Buhari, following Buratai’s recent comments advocating for a COVID-19-style lockdown as a solution to Nigeria’s ongoing challenges.
In a post on his official X handle, Sowore highlighted Buratai’s controversial past, stating:
“Yusuf Tukur Buratai was Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Army Staff during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. His only ‘achievement’ was the bloody #EndSARSMassacre. Today, this same man is shamelessly calling for another COVID-style lockdown, while the current Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, absurdly proposes ‘Kung-fu self-defense’ as a solution to insecurity. This is the calibre of airheads who have ruined Nigeria, men who respond to real crises with outright nonsense!”
Sowore’s comments reflect growing frustration among Nigerians over perceived inadequacies in leadership and crisis management. The former presidential candidate criticized the lack of practical strategies in addressing security and national emergencies, particularly in light of past events that resulted in significant public outcry.
The statement underscores a broader public debate on leadership accountability and crisis management in Nigeria. Sowore’s criticism serves as a reminder that past actions and policy decisions remain under scrutiny, and citizens are calling for effective, evidence-based solutions to the nation’s pressing challenges.
