A member of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Mr. Chris Emejuru has said after seven and half years in power, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will end up as the most corrupt, incompetent, and unprepared administration in Nigeria’s history.
Emejuru said although he supported Buhari in 2015 he was convinced that he has performed below expectation.
While speaking with select journalists on Wednesday in Abuja, the ADP chieftain noted that there were no relevant policies to tame the high rate of inflation where the average Nigerian could barely afford to eat or put fuel in their car.
Emejuru further lamented that persistent strikes in critical sectors like health and education have forced medical professionals to leave the country for greener pastures, while the dreams of future lawyers, doctors, scientists, and many more career paths are put on hold due to the government’s complacency.
He further decried that increasing poverty and lack of economic opportunities are devastating individuals and families throughout Nigeria.
Emejuru states: “I supported the APC in 2015 at the time because like most Nigerians, we wanted to see the incoming administration do well. Unfortunately, as you can see, they have lived woefully below expectations.
“Buhari rose on the platform of change but will end up having one of the most corrupt, incompetent, and unprepared administrations in Nigeria’s history.”
Emejuru stressed that ahead of the 2023 elections, some of the qualities every Nigerian should look out for in a presidential candidate are character, compassion, and intellect.
He explained that character is being who you are when no one else sees it; being upright and being a good person; being the best person you can be.
According to him, “This leads to compassion. Caring about your citizens, caring about people regardless of who they are or where they are from. Finally, with these two traits, you need intellect to deliver. Having knowledge and wisdom acquired, you are well equipped to tackle any of the challenges you may confront. But let me add one more virtue and that is humility.”
