- Ibrahim Shekarau was allegedly caught on audio mocking President Buhari and the APC change agenda
- The former Kano state governor reportedly said the change mantra of his party was a ruse
- He also allegedly said the APC is confused and has been lying to Nigerians about bringing change to their living conditions
Former Kano state Governor Ibrahim Shekarau has allegedly described the change mantra of All Progressives Congress (APC) as a ruse.
According to Sahara Reporters, in an audio recording obtained, Mr Shekarau allegedly said the APC is confused and has been lying to Nigerians about bringing change to their living conditions.
Shekarau reportedly said: "When Nigerians asked: 'When are we going to see the change we voted for?' They were told to wait until after swearing-in ceremony. After the swearing-in, they heard silence without change and they asked, when will this change come.
"The answer was until they resume office and they subsequently resumed office and nothing happened."
Speaking on the appointment of the Secretary to the Government of Federation (SGF), he said:
"After three months, the SGF was appointed and the people asked again: 'Where is the change?' The answer was they should wait for the change after the appointment of Chief of Staff.
"The masses got worried and said, please when will this change come? The answer was, until ministers are appointed. After six months, they appointed ministers.
"Suddenly, the National Assembly approved and the people asked again: 'Can see and feel the change?' Their (APC) reply was until the President signed the budget. After he signed, there was no change, we asked. They said, the President’s ear is paining him and we should wait until he was healed.

"They suddenly tripled oil price and they kept quiet and we talked. They said we should be patient that change will come. While Nigerians were waiting, they now came again that the President was sick. They said we should wait, we waited and he came back from the first trip.
"They said we should pray and when he returned, they celebrated and we all secretly prayed for him, that Allah should heal him. When he returned they said we should give him time to fully recover," stated Mr. Shekarau.
"We said when will the change come, they said until they drive away rats from his office. We are hoping, they will come and apologize and say the change will come when I (Buhari) return in 2019."
He also reportedly, alleged that the APC started playing games, saying doctors said the President should return to London, where he stayed for 103 days before returning.
