Political analyst Dr. Sam Amadi says former President Muhammadu Buhari’s return to office in 2015 is “the worst thing” Nigeria has experienced. Amadi made the comment in a post on his X account, reacting to reports about corruption investigations and prosecutions involving former senior officials from the Buhari administration. The reported cases are being handled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and include allegations described as corruption, money laundering, contract fraud, and diversion of public funds. According to the reports, the matters involve several former public officials, including ex-Central Bank of Nigeria governor Godwin Emefiele, former attorney-general of the federation Abubakar Malami, former accountant-general of the federation Ahmed Idris, former aviation minister Hadi Sirika, former minister of power Saleh Mamman, and former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello.
