Why Buhari’s government has failed – Ango Abdullahi

The spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) Ango Abdullahi, has blamed the seeming failures of President Muhammadu Buhari’s failures to bring visible development to the people on the political system in the country.


According to him, Buhari is a good man who found himself in a wrong system that hamstrung the realization of his good intentions for the country.


Abdullahi, however, said Buhari should welcome politicians who wish to vie for the Presidential ticket of the All Progressive Congress (APC) ahead of 2019 general elections as the outcome of the Party primaries and the main election
would be a way of assessing his own performance in office.


He told Sun newspaper: “You see, the problem is the system. 


Buhari may be a good person; he could be a gentleman who wants to work honestly but in a wrong system. It was a system of military fiat when he was a head of state, but
the system he finds himself now does not allow him to manoeuvre.


“He has to cross many hurdles and checkpoints at the National Assembly and his party before he can execute anything meaningful, and all these squabbles are not based
 on principle but personal interests, either at party level or at
constituency or at the level of the judiciary.


“All this really will make it impossible for a good person or committed person to operate effectively in this country in the manner which will accelerate development. Perhaps, you might ask the question if we can really change?


“But the current delegate system brings nothing except corruption. Once the parties are corrupt, certainly, government must be corrupt, this is what is happening now all over the country.”
