Buhari’s government is corrupt, says Ezekwesili

A former Minister of Education and presidential candidate of the
Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Oby Ezekwesili, has declared
President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration as corrupt.

Ezekwesili indicted Buhari for shielding corrupt individuals in
his cabinet.

The two-time minister declared this on Monday while delivering a
speech titled, ‘To those who say we cannot win: Unveiling the Oby
Ezekwesili Roadmap to 2019’ in Lagos.

The former World Bank Vice-President expressed sadness that
instead of making progress, Nigeria was retrogressing under the
current administration due to zero capacity.

She said Nigeria could simply not afford to continue under the
atmosphere of “unsustainable failure” come 2019.

She described 2019 as a moment to terminate bad leadership,
retire incompetent leaders and not chose ‘anyone but Buhari’.

Ezekwesili, who described the All Progressives Congress and the
Peoples Democratic Party as a single party fielding one candidate
she called ‘Butiku’, said Nigerians needed to reject their
candidates no matter the ‘packaging’.

She said, “What is the primary legacy of President Muhammadu
Buhari? It is the destruction of our nation’s wealth, presiding
over the worst economic recession Nigeria has seen in decades.

“And in the midst of this, his Vice-President was celebrating
last week at the Nigeria Economic Summit that handing bailouts to
state governors to pay salaries is an achievement. What a big
shame!

“There is no shadow of a doubt that President Buhari is the most
parochial, most nepotistic and most partisan President that Nigeria
has ever seen.”
