President Buhari's most significant legacy would have been in restoring law and order in our country through destruction of elite privilege.

The greatest tragedy of the Buhari administration is in the inability to equalise access for all Nigerians. No Nigerian leader was equipped like President Buhari in 2015 to restore order in Nigeria. He had a solid support base, a party in control of both Houses, and an unparalleled moral authority to redefine Nigeria.

In the past, big men like Femi and Aliko would have sent their staff or drivers to procure the licence for them from a DLC at a cost. They would not have appeared in person for data capture or verification. Their presence at the DLC was a good signal and example. I am sure they rarely drive and would not have been stopped for licence checks by law enforcement officers. The public show also helps in building a culture of respect for rules.

President Jonathan overruled his staff and came to Federal Road Safety Commission headquarters for his licence. We paid the Federal Capital Territory Vehicle Inspection Office and followed through the whole process. When rules are enforced, everybody obeys. My team at FRSC and I set out to use technology to limit the discretionary powers of officers to bypass the system and benefit from offering elite privileges. We succeeded.
