A chieftain of the All Progressive Grand Allianace, Chief Maxi Okwu, in an interview with Daily Independent, has stated that President Muhammadu Buhari may end up worse than his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan.
He was asked to assess the president's last year in office.
"I have now come to the sad conclusion that based on one year and some months of President Buhari, the man may end up worse than Goodluck Jonathan," he started.
He said he had close knowledge about Buhari when he was Secretary General of the CNPP from 2003-2005, and that he knows his (Buhari) limitations.
"For a man who sought the Presidency four times in a row, I am appalled by the pace of his administration when you juxtapose this with the fact that he has been there as military dictator in 1984-85."
"He has shocked us by his apparent unpreparedness to be our president. Our economy is now in recession; there is hunger and angst in the land; insecurity has assumed a more dangerous dimension, and the country is more divided today than it was as at 29th May 2015. The nation seems to be in free fall, and our government seems to be at total loss on what to do. The pet area of war on corruption is more of motion and no movement.
He added that the president is not carrying his party, the APC, the National Assembly and the states along in his anti-corruption initiative.
"Like Bishop Kukah said, Buhari cannot fight corruption by tackling the symptoms and not the malaise. He has to make corruption and corrupt practices unattractive," he said.
