Buhari victory: The long, hard road to travel
At his victory in 2015, I felt giddy enough to literally go on a binge, on these pages, drawing up agenda upon agenda, for the president -elect. After all, here was a man about whom I had written, claiming unashamedly, that Nigeria needed, much more than he needed Nigeria. That was in the process of canvassing his choice ahead of the APC presidential primaries.Honest Nigerians knew that Buhari packed a punch; that he is mightily disciplined and highly focussed.
Unfortunately, the fact that he gave power devolution, which his party promised a wide berth, rankles to no end just as the blood- letting by murderous Fulani herdsmen, and his skewed appointments will always remain a blight on his administration. And what have been the consequences of this mother of corruptions? Elections have become federal wars against the people of Nigeria. The police, courts and even the military are riddled and paralysed with corruption. Schools, colleges and universities across our country have drastically lost quality as providers of education – and many of our university graduates are hardly literate these days.
