Chief Ekene Okpara who spoke to our Correspondent at his Office along Akpakpava road said that the late President Mohammadu Buhari would have been the best President Nigeria had ever had, stressing that his policies were shrouded in too many faults for lack of follow up decisions.

He said” I have however taken overview of the Character President Mohammadu Buhari was when he was alive and President of Nigeria, and my observations are that he was too principled to faults. President Mohammadu Buhari was too principled not to interfere in election results, for instance in Edo state during Mr Godwin Obaseki crisis with Adams Oshiomohle, many Nigerians thought he would have moved into it for the sake of his party, All Progressive Congress ( APC) to help the election of Obaseki rigged, instead he stood on free and fair election and Obaseki won Convincingly, Edo people voted emass for Obaseki”.
