INEC boss Mahmood Yakubu
The 2019 elections have the capacity to make or mar Nigeria, a former Chairman of the National Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) Sam Amadi has said.
Amadi noted this on Monday in a Facebook post where he raised the alarm that “it looks like Nigeria will be ruined after 2019”.
The statement was in reaction to the defections among political parties in the country.
“Some people rejoiced when some APC chieftains decamped to PDP as if it meant anything good for Nigeria apart from the possible defeat of Buhari,” he said.
“Now some will rejoice when another set of mindless politicians decamp, this time to APC.
“The problem is not these politicians pursuing power without [the] commitment to the people. The problem is the people who foolishly rejoiced over [the] unprincipled behavior of sometimes corrupt and criminally minded politicians.”
He further said: “I don’t care about decamp[ing]. Politicians can decamp if they want. My anger is that the stuttering Buhari anti-corruption war will now finally give up the ghost in the gale of decamping.
“How I wish there will be a real anticorruption regime to flush out all these corrupt and criminal politicians from all the parties.
“I don’t care who leads that truly revolutionary regime. But for now it looks like there is no hope. It looks like Nigeria will be ruined after 2019.”
