Former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega has stated that the government of President Buhari is disappointing.
Jega stated this in an interview. The Professor of Political Science who presided over the 2015 election accused the present administration of being very inept in managing peaceful coexistence in the country.
He 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.”
Speaking further, Jega said misgivings by sections of the citizens has lead to the demand for restructuring.
“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,” he added.
