Getting rid of bandits!?!? Why can’t he get rid of armed Fulani herdsmen. Instead, he keeps going after people seeking restructuring and reconciliation with the Nigerian armed forces and police., they are all compromised. No jobs for youths, no health care, no good and safe roads, roads and highways are filled with federal government extortionists!! No sea ports only Lagos. I remember during Buhari’s campaign, none of his promises have been fulfilled. He’s been there for 6 years now and everything is worse than before . It’s terrible and he can comfortably leave Nigeria to seek medical help with the billions invested on only Aso rock clinic which has nothing to show.
