*And one school of thought will want me to believe that the worst civilian rule is better than the best military regime.*
He did all these in 8 years, paid fuel subsidy, maintained a good dollar to Naira exchange and paid pension/ salary to workers.
But after 24 years of democracy, we are worst off as a nation.

ReplyDeleteHe also started federal character commission that destroyed due process and merit appointment..
DeleteHe started the obnoxious Quota system that made less densely populated states in the north to get higher allocations than their southern counterparts....
He started man knows man appointment where someone with Arabic education will work in Nepa...square peg in round holes policy..
