Muhammadu Buhari, president of
Nigeria since 2015, will leave office on Monday, May 29, after eight disastrous
years. The late Chief Bola Ige famously coined the phrase, “good riddance to
bad rubbish”. That, truth be told, is the best way to describe the exit of
Buhari, his presidency and his government from power.
For the past eight years of Buhari’s administration have been an unmitigated failure; a monumental waste of time, of resources, and of the hopes and aspirations of a nation and a people. True stewardship is leaving a place better than one found it. But Buhari is leaving Nigeria far worse than he found it in 2015.
