“Under President Buhari, there are ministers who were appointed to serve for eight years; They were with him during the first and second terms, and there was no cabinet reshuffle or dismissal.
“Even if there were a dismissal, it takes three to four months to replace a minister. That was how the country was governed.
“Under Buhari, we have seen nepotism at its peak, where people were appointed to public positions and abandoned even if they did nothing.
“Service chiefs were retained in their positions despite their failures, and in retaining them, the careers of those behind them were destroyed. For many years, many officers were removed to appoint a single person.”
