Buhari Has No Capacity To Govern Nigeria – Nwabueze

*Says Jonathan, Obasanjo Promoted Corruption

Nigeria may not extricate itself from the woes bedeviling it soon because those at the helm of its affairs have no capacity to govern it.

This is the submission of Nigeria’s foremost Constitutional lawyer and one of the oldest Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN), Professor Ben Nwabueze, in an exclusive interview with The Niche.

The erudite professor of Law said Nigeria may continue to wallow in socio-economic and political wilderness because the man they elected president last year, Muhammadu Buhari, has neither the “academic nor intellectual credentials” to govern the country.

He said the election of Buhari was a big mistake, accusing Nigerians of suffering from amnesia and refusing to learn from the mistake of electing ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo 16 years ago.

In his words: “I said it at the beginning that Buhari does not have what it takes, he does not have the academic and intellectual credentials to rule Nigeria. He just went from School Certificate to the army. Does training in a military academy adequately equip anybody to govern this country, knowing what it takes, what it means to govern Nigeria? Can what you are taught in a military academy without a university background prepare you?”
