The spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, says President Muhammadu Buhari was elected into government unprepared.

Will the world ever miss Nigeria for anything?
He said, “I think the problem was that nobody really understood that President Buhari thought his becoming president was enough to solve problems. He believed that once he was president of Nigeria the rest was going to be detailed. He didn’t come prepared to govern.

“Quite possibly, Buhari would have thought people would fear him, people would do what he says, he doesn’t steal people’s money, there would be no corruption. He doesn’t take nonsense, so there would be no insecurity.

“It wasn’t difficult to see that preparation wasn’t necessarily the key to action. President Buhari wasn’t prepared to govern when he came to office. He wasn’t prepared to hit the ground. It took him more than months before he appointed ministers.

“And when he did, he appointed people that were close to him, people he felt personally comfortable with and those are the same people still in the office. I think the number of ministers that have left his cabinet from 2015 to now are just a few.”

This is another angle but if you ask me I think Buhari is unlucky from oil prices crash to covid-19 and now Russian war...
I agree what Nigeria as a country and its economy need right now is a builder, a visionary leader, nigerians must understand that change is slow, that's why you can't afford to make mistakes, change is slow... But if we get it right and vote someone that can open up money sources, not frugal or stingy like Buhari but open with ideas, diversity the economy. How can lagos be single out to be the kind of economy it is? was that its position before Tinubu took over the affairs of the state?
They said it's the port, Benin republic have a port too. But Benin citizens are all over Lagos. If I ask you to vote right, I said it knowing you will do the right thing.
