The Spokesman for the Northern Elders Forum, (NEF), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said the immediate-past President, Muhammadu Buhari was a woeful disappointment.
Speaking in a published interview yesterday, Baba-Ahmed said, “Buhari failed the nation; he failed the North. He failed the electorates that trooped out to give him the kind of votes that no other President has ever had. He raised a lot of expectations but left the country a lot worse than he met it”.
The NEF spokesman, however, expressed hope that Tinubu will be able to bring in some bright people who will give him some good ideas on how his government will tackle corruption.
He said if President Tinubu can curb corruption from the processes and operations of the government and from the lives of Nigerians, he can solve the problem of insecurity in a year or two.
Baba-Ahmed said the country needs fresh and new ideas to manage the economy, stressing that the Tinubu administration should pay close attention to the impact of liberal economic policies.
According to him, “We are hoping that if Tinubu continues to be the President after all these judicial processes have been concluded, he would have learnt from President Buharis weaknesses and failures to create a government that is radically different from that of President Buhari because this country has to move on.
We dont have another eight years to lose. Theres a very high expectation that we will have good governance, we will have a secure country, and that we will have a compassionate government, he further stated.
