The Presidency has said corrupt elites in the country do not want “another Buhari” in 2023 because of their selfish agenda.

The Media Aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, in a statement on Tuesday, said the President’s strong legacy would be difficult to dismantle.


He explained the reasons why President Buhari cannot take a “business as usual approach” in governance.

According to him, many of the political elites in the country cannot wait for the President’s second term in office to end as they wish for a return to the “good old days” of helping themselves to public funds with abandon.

The statement read in part, “So many in the political elite of this country cannot wait for the President’s second term in office to end. They yearn for a return to the ‘good old days’ of helping themselves to public funds with abandon, the easy export of ill-gotten money to foreign bank accounts, of acting without responsibility, accountability, or censure. The last thing they want is ‘another Buhari’.

“Even though the President will stand down after the election of a successor next year – whether that successor lives up to the exacting standards and example he has set or not – his legacy is strong and will be peculiarly tough to dismantle:

“Courts that hold those before it fairly and properly accountable – regardless of their wealth or lack of it; the successful repatriation of stolen funds from decades of export abroad and its use to fund social empowerment, and welfare programmes for the poorest; reforms that have taken the steam out of centuries-long ethnic and tribal disputes – such as the farmer-herder clashes – long used to stoke ethnic and regional tensions by venial politicians for political advantage; and the protection of millions through an effective vaccine roll-out programme. 

“These are just a tiny handful of the achievements of the President. But, perhaps, his greatest achievement of all is to break the belief that Presidents of Nigeria take the office and use it to enrich themselves and their accessories at the public’s expense. 

“That wicked spell is broken for good. And it has offended politicians everywhere. They thought the state owed to them while the people provided for the state. Instead, they have witnessed how, when the state owes to them nothing, it provides for the people.”

I am very happy you even know this Mr Shehu. Buhari is the most corrupt, tribal, incompetent, less concern, weak and short sight leader or ruler that Nigeria has ever had in the history of this blessed nation. I can not even wait for him and his corrupt party to leave this country in peace. The major problem of Nigeria at the moment is APC. APC the evil party has taken us 50 years back. Buhari was a mistake in 2015. Everybody knows this simple fact and truth.

Buhari doesn't even know the meaning of corruption

Just wait and see how Nigerians are going to jubilate when this disaster administration come to an end.

I’m ready to forgive Buhari follies if only he can help truncate Tinubu’s devilish ambition.

Handing our treasury to Tinubu would be Buhari’s greatest disaster.

What's the difference between Buhari and the corrupt elites ?

lol since dey don't another Buhari....


Buhari should continue...

Infact Buhari till infinity....

Lalasticlala, Iam surprised

Agreed Buhari is not corrupt but he sorrounds himself with thieves and providing cover for them (Abdulrasheed Maina and Babachir lawal among others) so my question now is this, A friend of a thief is what?

APC =A Party without Conscience

Mynd44 I saw your face

You just have to give it to buhari n his team, they came with a game plan.
First stifle the media, put more pressure on media outlets to tone down on excessive reportage that paints the govt in bad light.
So many events and atrocities that havent been reported in the past yyrs of this administration..
Dadiyata... Gone

Agreed Buhari is not corrupt

This is where all our problems started.
This singular lie,on the basis of which he was elected,is what has caused us 8 miserable, painful and blood soaked years.
The tragedy is that any properly educated person that is alive to witness his misrule,still believes it.
This is the singular event that should convince anyone that Buhari is corrupt:an acclaimed man of integrity that promised to declare his assets during the campaign on being elected initially refused to keep to the promise.
When the pressure became too much and he reluctantly did so,he finally said he had "at least ₦10million in his account".
That is the hallmark of a lying,corrupt soul, knowing a proper public declaration would shock even his most fervent,even if illiterate followers.
