On Friday, December 20, 2019, at a book launch at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Danjuma said Nigeria is in a big hole. 

Responding to Danjuma’s claim, president slammed the elder statesman saying his opinion does not count. 

President Buhari said this in The Interview.

Asked if Danjuma’s statement was an evidence of a vote of low confidence in his government, Buhari said his reelection in February 2019 is an evidence of voters’ confidence and support for him and his government’s policies.

He said, “What is the vote of confidence of Nigerians in me, as expressed in the polls last year? That is what matters more, not the opinion of one man”.

Dismissing the insinuations that the relationship between him and Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is frosty, Buhari said he has a perfect relationship with his vice.
