The former vice-chancellor of Bayero University, Kano, said; “He (Buhari) has disappointed so many people. He still has time to correct things if he has the capacity to do that. Frankly, his government has been very disappointing,” he was quoted to have said.
“Governance has been very poor at the federal level and many of the states, that is why we are seeing challenges everywhere; whether it is insurgency, banditry, armed robbery or other things.”
Jega served as INEC Chairman from 2010 to 2015, following his appointment by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He remains the only electoral umpire to have presided over two general elections in Nigeria, in 2011 and 2015.
