Mr . Tony Uranta, a frontline human rights activist is the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian National Summit Group (NNSG). In this interview with select newsmen, he gave an assessment of the Muhammadu Buhari administration and other issues. TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI brings the excerpts:

Here we are as a nation, over two years since the current administration promised to bring about change, would you agree that the government has been brought about real changes?

I think the present Nigerian administration is in love with the Trump administration in America because I just see both administration working as twins brothers; pushing out lies as their basic policy and expecting that their words would bring about change, not their actions.

We all can see. It is clear to the blind and obvious to the deaf that Nigeria is in a mess this bad since the end of the civil war. I say this with all recognition that most people are going to react from two angles; one being, he was Jonathan’s friend and two, corruption is fighting back. I will say for the second one that if Magu could come and arrest me, I will become rich because I would sue the whole nation because I have not benefitted corruptly from anybody, not even Jonathan or anybody that served in his government.

While I may sympathise that Jonathan lost, I thank God because if he had not lost we wouldn’t have heard the last of it. Everybody would have been saying ‘had Buhari got into power, Nigeria would have been an Eldorado’. We all are seeing the Eldorado nonsense that Nigeria had descended into at this period.

...in as much as I'm not a fan of this administration, this man is outrightly funny. How can you sue a country for God's sake...
