Senator Ben Murray Bruce, representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, has proclaimed that President Muhammadu Buhari’s body language shows that he’s helpless following the situation in the country.

Buhari had constantly blamed the sorry state of the economy on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying that he inherited a battered economy from the former ruling party.



Reacting to Buhari’s submission via Twitter, the PDP senator said the President must take responsibility and devise strategies geared towards transforming the country.

“You can only blame your predecessor for your problems for so long. After six months, so long becomes too long!” he wrote.

“Six months is one-eighth of a four-year tenure. If you are still blaming your predecessor after six months, when are you going to ever deliver the goods?

“Blaming others is a sign of helplessness. A ‘numero uno’ should not blame. He must take responsibility for leading us out of troubled waters.

“Those who advise Buhari to make hay while the sun shines are his friends. It is unwise to make blame while the sun shines,” he said.

“Go ahead and attack me, I don’t mind. I am not the president or a governor. I’m just a Nigerian who loves Buhari enough to tell him the truth!

“Those who insult and call us enemies for advising the president and governors to focus on delivering results instead of blaming don’t love Nigeria,” he tweeted.
