Buhari is the most corrupt individual to rule Nigeria. Cos while he loots he turns deaf ears to the cry of the masses.

Partial/ sectional fight against corruption (against PDP) under Buhari is the worst thing to happen to out polity because that is the end of free and fair election. APC would never hand over power to an opposition to face same witch-hunt they are currently dishing out.

Petrol gone, power dead, forex disappeared, ecomony cremated..... yet looting at an all time high masked with distractions.
