Reacting in a Channels Television interview aired on Monday, Faskari said although Buhari is committed to fighting corruption, he may not have recruited members of his cabinet out of merit.He said the president has made the “mistake” of believing that people he trusts would do the right thing, adding that they have taken advantage of this “attitude”.
“In 1984, the Buhari that was the head of state was very strong and could check directly. Today, he is more democratic than ordinary democrats. And he has advanced in age.“And the people he put around him are not necessarily recruited out of merit. So as far as this matter is concerned, we are all complicit.
