The most useless president in the history of Africa. Buhari was the worst president in the history of Africa but was 100 billion times better than what we have now.

He is only concerned about the elites who can challenge him or spoil things for him,,the masses are already conquered He doesn't need to do anything for them, they are ok with him being a member of their tribe or religion, or being canvassed by one of the appointees, the masses don't need much that is why he can take subsidy away from them and channel it to satisfy the elite because the elite care about themselves while it is the masses that cares about their rulers
I don't get it how can a government increase school fees astronomically and turned around to offer few people loans to access the same education that previous government made available to as many as possible and still call that an achievement through propaganda and the masses are buying that,meanwhile the same government is subsidising the flamboyant lifestyle of the elite even to their designers pants
