The Ogoni cleanup & Buhari’s integrity
By Fegalo Nsuke
During the build-up to the 2015 presidential elections, the
All Progressives Congress, APC, had hinged its campaign on one major advantage:
President Buhari’s credibility. Buhari became exceptionally unique, standing
out as an open, honest and most believable among the candidates for the
presidential election. At least, his party’s campaign messages made him so. It
was an offer that would attract many among a Nigerian political class where
lies, failed promises, self interest, rights violations, and insensitivity to
the sufferings of the poor were dominant.
