Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Mike Ozekhome has lambasted the incumbent administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, accusing it of being corrupt and lacking focus, stressing that the administration as presently constituted can never deliver the much needed dividend of democracy to Nigerians.
In a release to newsmen, the Edo born Constitutional lawyer, accused the current administration of poor performance, failing to deliver on its campaign promises to Nigerians, while describing it as one ‘chance’ and one of the most corrupt government in the history of the country.
Ozekhome condemned the current fuel scarcity in the country, while alleging that the product was been diverted by government officials and their cronies and sold to the highest bidder.
The statement further accused the administration of targeting the opposition in the anti graft war, while shielding corrupt cronies and officials implicated in the $25 billion dollars NNPC contract and those warehousing N50 billion from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) from investigation and prosecution.
He said, “Nigerians’ expectations, not mine, are that PMB should first form and put in place a serious government before we begin to talk of PMB giving Nigerians democracy dividends.
“This is the most clueless, most directionless, most irresponsible and most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria since the January 1, 1914 Lugardian amalgamation of Southern and Northern protectorates to form Nigeria.
“It is mostly a ‘one chance’ cabalistic government of incredible opaqueness, unique privatisation of corruption and a government that freely spreads poverty, disillusionment, melancholy, hopelessness, sadness, pains, blood, and pangs.
“For the first time in the sad history of Nigeria, Nigerians spent Xmas at petrol stations, queuing for fuel, while government officials are shamelessly diverting and selling available fuel to their cronies and highest bidders.
“This government continuously ‘fights’ corruption within itself with sweet smelling sasarobia perfume, whilst fighting so called corruption of opposition and critics of government with insecticides, pesticides and herbicides.
“This government protects its corrupt officials involved in mind bungling larceny of $25b dollars contracts, warehousing of 50b from TSA and shamelessly requesting for $1billion to fight a Boko Haram that it claimed to have defeated since December, 2016”.
