President Muhammadu Buhari’s election victory in the opinion and
expectation of majority of Nigerians and African was seen as an
opportunity for a total transformation of Africa’s sleeping giant, but
the events in the last 10 months have shown otherwise.
According to a study by Nigerian Governance Watch, a United Kingdom
(UK) based Nigerian Professionals group, revealed that President Buhari
is beret of idea to manage, have no focus, unstable and extremely
incompetent in every sphere to shape the affairs of any Nigeria.
The group come short of blaming the President, but Nigerians who knew
the antecedent of Muhammadu Buhari while in office in 1984 to 1985 and
blindly went for a man who have not created anything, but only destroys
the gains of his predecessors through his thoughtless policies and zero
understanding of the workings in a public sector.
As a military leader, Buhari killed the Naira, killed the Economy,
destroyed our relationship with the rest of the world, polarized the
country on tribe and religion, impoverished Nigerians to the extent that
Nigerians were queuing up for essential commodities like Milk, Rice and
Bread.
On Buhari’s return in May 2015, he has within this short period,
turned Africa’s biggest and fastest growing economy to a shrinking one.
Crashing the GDP from about 7.0% to 2.4%, Inflation jumping to 11.6%
from 9%, over 2 million Nigerians losing their jobs, FDI dropped by over
85%, Maternal and Infant mortality is at all time high as result of
poverty, malnutrition and diseases.
In a dwindling revenue, Buhari did the unheard of, instead of
reducing the budget, he increased the budget from N4.3trn to N6.07trn.
He presented the most fraudulent, inflated and irredeemably padded
budget.
The Nigerian Governance Watch stated that they were not surprised, as
President Buhari they described as a “very serious” leader, in a
recession period did not deem it fit to appoint a single Economist among
the 36 names in his cabinet.
They frowned at the president’s inability to set up an economic Team
after 10 months in office and only resorting to intuition, thumb rules
and application of Adam and Eve economies in this 21st century.
On the political front, the condemned President’s deliberate
interventions in the electoral process and his use of security agencies
to intimidate the opposition and the assassination and killing of people
of diverse opinion.
The UK based group, according to Hope For Nigeria is worried that
President Buhari who benefited in one of the best organised elections in
Africa just few months ago have been unable to successfully organise
any election in the country.
His determination to ensure that his party members and cronies win
all the elections has lead numerous killings, kidnapping and in most
cases annulling results or declaring them inconclusive where his party
is losing hopefully, like the case of Rivers state re-run election.
In conclusion, according to Hope For Nigeria, the group advised
President Buhari to swallow his pride and recall some of the experts
from previous governments that meticulously guided the Nigerian economy
to be the largest in the continent. They added that It is not about
Buhari as the leader, but the paramount thing is the interest of Nigeria
and Nigerians.
