At last week’s 60th birthday celebration of former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai bemoaned the hardship bedevilling the country under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
El-Rufai said: “Nigeria is in its biggest trouble since 1914 and that is why we are together working and conspiring to build a coalition to take Nigeria back on track because it is off track.
“It has turned to this level because we have allowed bandits, not the ones in the bushes but the ones in the urban areas called the urban bandits to take over leadership.
“I believe that the problem that we have, which I think (former) Governor Babangida referred to, is that we just get incompetent people and we hand over leadership to them. Most of them don’t really know what to do. They just know how to grab power but don’t know what to do with it.”
