The Economists has published a scathing article on President Muhammadu Buhari and his ''old social policies''.
Some of the President's policies scrutinized in the article include his archaic economic policies ''such as restricting imports and propping up the currency''. President Buhari's relaunched War against Indiscipline which led to whipping of Nigerians in the 80s is also bashed in the article.
The article warns against the dangers of unleashing a moral police on Nigerians.
''During Mr Buhari’s first War Against Indiscipline soldiers used horse whips to beat those who littered or jumped queues and punished others by making them jump like frogs. “It became totally arbitrary,” says Clement Nwankwo, a human-rights campaigner. One of his friends, he recalls, was jailed for owning an unlicensed telex machine.''
The 'Change Begins With Me' campaign recently launched by President Buhari is another sore point raised by the article. President Buhari is criticized for using a plagiarized speech to launch an intergrity campaign.
''Our value system has been badly eroded,” the president lamented in a speech that plagiarised Barack Obama’s 2008 victory address.''
