Opinion: Mr. President: What Would the Buhari Legacy Be?, By Jibrin Ibrahim
The most important legacy the president should leave is an improvement of the security situation in the country. The expectation of Nigerians was that Boko Haram would be vanquished within the first year or two of his presidency. It did not happen. For over ten years now, the insurgency has endured and become entrenched as an existing reality, while the security agencies appear to have been at their wits end all through.
I have said it repeatedly that the president was wrong to have thought that he had a lot of time; four years plus another four is a very short period and his team was right to have advised him to move fast.
