“The problem is with Nawaz Sharif and not others. It was the third time he could not complete his term as a prime minister. I have seen Sharif very closely, he lacks leadership qualities. He doesn’t know how to govern and his intentions were corrupt,” said the former president of Pakistan.
“He is his own worst enemy,” Musharraf added.
Earlier in the day, in a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Thursday disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from holding public office after it found him guilty in Panama Papers case.
After the apex court decision, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's leader resigned from the post of Prime Minister.
