President Muhammadu Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is the worst in Nigeria’s democratic history, the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO) posited on Friday.
The South-East Zone of the CLO made this assertion in a statement released as part of activities marking the 2022 World Human Rights Day.
Comrade Aloysius Attah, chairman of the South-East Zone, who signed the statement, noted that after a careful study of the state of the nation and a review of administrations in the past since Nigeria’s independence from colonial rule in 1960, especially in the civilian dispensation which started on May 29, 1999, the Buhari administration emerged the worst in terms of fulfilling the primary purpose of government, which is promoting the welfare and security of its citizens as enshrined in Chapter 2 section 14(2)(b) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
CLO said the Buhari administration on the verge of completing its second tenure had failed in all indices of development and governance to the extent that the Hobbesian state of nature where life is short, brutish and nasty, had become a subtle way to describe the horrible state of affairs and the living condition of the masses in Nigeria presently.
Noting that every indices of development and measurement of good governance under global rankings plummeted and reached its nadir under the Buhari administration, the CLO said the enormous rot in the system presently would require both a conscience and conscious revolution to retrieve the country from the abyss of all things negative.
Offered the statement: “In Nigeria under this present administration, the only thing that has improved significantly in the last seven and half years is the health of President Buhari at the expense of the entire Nigerians.
“Every other thing one can think of has gone worse. Economy is in tatters, corruption has become our second name, education sector is bleeding, infrastructure and security – choking and worsening while the country is soaked in the blood of its defenceless citizens”.
