Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has blasted the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as the most corrupt government Nigeria has ever experienced.
Baba-Ahmed made the allegation during an interview on ‘MIC On Podcast With Seun Okinbaloye’.
While assessing Buhari’s administration, he said corruption was responsible for what he described as the former President’s failure in office.
“Why did Buhari fail so spectacularly? It’s because of corruption, I’m sorry. May his soul rest in peace. All of us are on that journey, and we’ll go and account for what we did.
“There has never been a corrupt government like Buhari’s government, and immoral government like Buhari’s government,” he said.
Baba-Ahmed equally linked his criticism of Buhari to the 2023 presidential election, accusing the former administration of failing to deliver on its promise of conducting credible polls.
He noted that while Buhari had promised that the 2023 election would be free and fair, events surrounding the transmission and collation of results did not meet that expectation.
