These final hours of 'Mai Gaskiya's' kakistocracy | TheCable

of the Fourth Republic authored ‘My Transition Hours’, which was published in 2018. It captures the breathtaking frenzy and flurry of activities and developments preceding, and immediately following his contest with the outgoing president, Muhammadu Buhari, at the 2015 presidential poll. The mean-spirited theatrics, confounding shenanigans, spontaneous alliance switches, and cross-carpeting, blatant betrayals, in the aftermath of his loss at the election is encapsulated in the book.

On Tuesday, May 23, 2023, Buhari commissioned eight major infrastructural projects across the country. Seven of them handled by the federal ministry of works and housing, received louder amplification than the eighth. The Second Niger Bridge christened after Buhari; the Loko-Owetto bridge linking Nasarawa, Benue, and states in the south-east and south-south, and the Ikom bridge in Cross River state, were all commissioned.

Buhari’s government put a deliberate knife through our institutions such that standards, processes, and best practices have been thrown to the hounds. We have a servile and complicit legislature whose members queue like school children for photo opportunities with the president, in a parliament that rubber-stamps any and every request from the president.

The much disparaged Jonathan administration increased electricity power generation beyond 5000 megawatts in 2015. It has plummeted below 3000 megawatts under Buhari, which at its inception, promised to fix power within six months. Notably, the receding government has supposedly expended $7.5 billion within the period, a practical waste against the backdrop that the sector remains comatose.
