Aisha Yesufu criticizes Buhari for making light of the fuel price increase, accusing him of lacking empathy.

Aisha Yesufu, a prominent social-political activist, strongly criticized former President Muhammadu Buhari for his recent remarks. Buhari, currently residing in his hometown of Daura in Katsina State, sparked controversy with a viral video where he jokingly mentioned being pleased that the fuel price hike by Tinubu reduced the number of visitors to his home.

This comment, made during a public address, has fueled existing sentiments among Nigerians who attribute the country’s current economic challenges to Buhari’s administration. Aisha Yesufu, reacting to the video, expressed her disapproval, stating that Buhari lacks empathy and emotional intelligence.

In her words, “If selfish and self-centered were people, they would both be Buhari. Zero empathy. Zero emotional intelligence. There were people laughing at this cruelty to the people. If they can afford it, what about those who can’t, and their lives are in difficulties?”
