Buhari’s Government is Disappointing – Former INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega
Immediate past chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega has described the administration of President Buhari as disappointing.
In an interview with Daily Trust, the Professor of Political Science who presided over the 2015 election that brought in President Buhari, accused the present administration of being very inept in managing peaceful coexistence in the country.
Jega said;
“Unfortunately, he has disappointed so many people. He still has time to correct things if he has the capacity to do that. But frankly, his government has been very disappointing. Many people wish him well but are worried about the direction the country is taking.
“Governance has been very poor at the federal level and many of the states, that is why we are seeing challenges everywhere; whether it is insurgency, banditry, armed robbery or other things.”
The former INEC Chairman further stated that the accumulated misgivings by sections of the citizens led to frustrations, which “find expression in these demands for restructuring.” He also described Nigerian politicians as greedy, selfish and reckless.
Jega added;
“We have a lot to do; and the first thing to do is to get it right by securing the mindset of our politicians from selfishness, greed and reckless banditry. Actually, many of them are also bandits, not just those who stand by the roadside with AK 47.
“To steal recklessly from government’s coffers and turn hundreds, if not millions of people into poverty, deny children the opportunity to go to school because they have stolen the money that would have gone into education or was supposed to buy arms and ammunition for the military, to the extent that they can no longer fight banditry, that is banditry itself.”
that is true… his government and administration failed majority of Nigerian….
Thank God that elite among you are now opening your eyes and see what’s going on in the country, thank God this is one is not bishop kukah.
President Buhari led administration has disappointed everybody because the way he is handling Nigeria situations is very bad, without care at all.
Buhari is ruling this country with ethnicity and nepotism if we look at his appointments, he doesn’t bother wether you are capable or not once you are from northern part of the country, he will just put you there.
Until he listens to us without listen to his aids, things will not change. The thing will be white but when the aids get to buhari they will tell him that it is black and he will believe them. But to our leaders or politicians, one thing I know very well is that they account for whatever they accumulated on judgement day
You have spoken very well, but you are one of the problems we are facing today, because you brought this man to power, talking about politicians being bandits, you are very correct in fact they are more than bandits. They the devil ravaging this nation. They have looted this country into borrowing and confusion. God all mighty will not spear them
