What shall Buhari’s legacy be? - Punch Newspapers
The gist mainly was around the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari ’s legacy when he hands over in about 21 months.
I had written in response as follows: “…from my understanding of Nigerian politics, Buhari does not have more than the next one and a half, maximum two years, to prove himself and show Nigerians why he or his party deserves re-election in 2019. The President will do well to know that by the end of 2017, most politicians in the country, no matter what office they hold, will think of nothing but the prospects that 2019 holds for them.
The development of infrastructure is critical to every economy, so it is a trite expectation from the government. Alongside that, however, the functions and sustenance of such structures depend on many other factors- one of which is the quality of human capital. The people of a country must not just understand the cost and importance of these structures to the extent that they accept ownership. That is in addition to the projects throwing up as many employment opportunities as possible.
It gets worse when you remember that Nigerian doctors are on their second industrial action in four months. The fact that the President, who pledged to expand Nigeria’s economy and increase the source of revenue, has repeatedly contributed to the N1.5trn annual expenditure on medical tourism belies his commitment to transformation.
