‘You’re a disappointment’ – Former INEC chairman, Jega slams Buhari

Former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, has lampooned the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration over his gross failure.

Jega told Daily Trust on Sunday that the high expectations on the government by Nigerians were largely dashed, with many people worried about the future of the country.

“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,” he said.

Jega, a onetime vice-chancellor of the Bayero University, Kano (BUK), said the Buhari administration had been very inept in managing peaceful coexistence in the country.

“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,” he added.
