Betrayal Within Buhari’s Administration
Dachung Bagos, an ex-member of the House of Representatives, has highlighted a concerning betrayal of trust among some appointees of former President Muhammadu Buhari. This betrayal, according to Bagos, contributed to a significant worsening of corruption during Buhari’s administration.
The Challenge of Oversight
Bagos pointed out that Buhari’s inability to effectively monitor and evaluate his appointees was a major challenge, undermining the administration’s efforts against corruption. Despite initiatives like the Treasury Single Account aimed at enhancing transparency, corruption reportedly worsened.
Buhari’s Mixed Legacy
While acknowledging Buhari’s personal integrity, Bagos noted that the administration’s struggle with insecurity overshadowed many of its achievements. However, the ‘Not Too Young To Run’ bill remains a notable legislative success, especially among young Nigerians.
Final Farewell to a Leader
Former President Buhari was laid to rest in Daura, Katsina State, marking the end of an era for Nigeria’s second-longest-serving leader. His passing has sparked reflections on his contributions and the challenges faced during his tenure.
