Why should they not expect anything in this adminstration? Every citizen of the State has the right to look for what he is expected from government particularly the promised made by them during campaign. It is mediocre opinions like ds that continues to draw Nigeria back. Why wouldn't much be expected from the Professor of Economics, and a former CBN governor, seeing that he has d capacity to deliver? He can do d job.

Filing fresh charges against Nnamdi Kanu not in Nigeria’s interest – LawyerAn Abuja-based human rights lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, says the Federal Government is not acting in the good interest of Nigeria by filing fresh terrorism charges against the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. Who said so, he should be punished accordingly. Buhari is the person that suppose to be standing trial. This man lost election in 2011 and in reaction to the loss made his supporters to kill many southern corpers in the north. This same man invited the Fulanis from outside to cause mayhem if GEJ refuse to quit This is a typical example of how country without solution behaves. You leave the positive information given by nnamdi and be attacking him. Is quit unfortunate we have gotten to this level of so called democracy
