Mr. Garba Shehu, a former spokesman to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, has advised Nigerians not to expect much from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Mr. Garba Shehu offered this advice on Friday during the 21st Daily Trust Annual Dialogue organized by the Trust Media Group.

He stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu could fall victim to the ‘crisis of expectations,’ similar to what happened to his former principal during his administration.

Shehu reportedly emphasized the need for Nigerians to learn from the experiences of previous administrations and urged them to manage their expectations from politicians.

He said, “President Muhammadu Buhari is a victim of the crisis of expectations and I think that the lesson for Nigerians from what I saw during the Buhari period and even Tinubu is, that Nigerians should begin to lower their expectations on political leaders.

“This is because these expectations are simply inhuman. Leaders can do a lot of things but no leader can do everything.

“During the time of Buhari, travellers to the Eastern Region used to spend about three days on the road, but after massive investment in infrastructure by Buhari, the travel time has reduced to about six hours.

“The government then also banned the importation of rice; after that, our farmers became so productive that production of rice skyrocketed and we were even feeding the whole of West Africa.”
