Buhari Media Support Group (BMSG) has dismissed an open letter by the Kaduna state governor to President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the President “is too busy to respond.”
The governor had written a 32-page memo to the President to caution him and his party for not delivering on the change promises made to Nigerians.
In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja by the coordinator of BMSG, Malam Muhammad Labbo, the group stated that the President “is too busy to be distracted by the memo written to him by Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai.”
The statement also dismissed insinuations that the president was intolerant of critics, stressing that Buhari had shocked his critics “with an amazing tolerance in the face of extreme provocations caused by unprintable personal attacks.”
According to the statement, contrary to accusations of President Buhari’s dictatorial disposition, no critic of his government, his policies as well as those who insulted him personally on social and traditional media have been arrested or harassed.
It added that President Buhari had shown a “thick skin despite cases of deliberate and malicious personal attacks by political opponents, adding that not once did the president go after anybody for criticising him.”
