Immediate past chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission {INEC}, Professor Attahiru Jega has called the current President Muhammadu Buhari a huge disappointment, while also saying the first thing to do as Nigerians so as to change the fate of the country is to change and secure the mindset of Nigerian politicians away from their ways of greed, selfishness and reckless stealing and embezzlement of government funds.

Prof Jega who in said during his interview with Daily Trust, that one of the reasons why the shout for restructuring is at the loudest at the moment is because no one understands the direction the country is heading under President Muhammadu Buhari. While he further accused the present administration of being very inept in managing peaceful coexistence in the country.

Prof Attahiru Jega said;

“Unfortunately, he has disappointed so many people. He still has time to correct things if he has the capacity to do that. But frankly, his government has been very disappointing. Many people wish him well but are worried about the direction the country is taking.

“Governance has been very poor at the federal level and many of the states, that is why we are seeing challenges everywhere; whether it is insurgency, banditry, armed robbery or other things.”

The former INEC Chairman further stated that the accumulated misgivings by sections of the citizens led to frustrations, which “find expression in these demands for restructuring.” He also described Nigerian politicians as greedy, selfish and reckless.

Prof Attahiru Jega added;

“We have a lot to do; and the first thing to do is to get it right by securing the mindset of our politicians from selfishness, greed and reckless banditry. Actually, many of them are also bandits, not just those who stand by the roadside with AK 47.

“To steal recklessly from government’s coffers and turn hundreds, if not millions of people into poverty, deny children the opportunity to go to school because they have stolen the money that would have gone into education or was supposed to buy arms and ammunition for the military, to the extent that they can no longer fight banditry, that is banditry itself.”
