A Security Analyst and International Relations analyst, Dr Kwesi Anning has rejected accusations describing Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari as a failed president.<\/p>\n

President Buhari has faced strong criticisms since he assumed office due to the persistent shortage of fuel and the rising cost of living in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”qbM70oFnFuMLmU5OfemTlpWMbV3KUugh”]His APC party won Nigeria\u2019s election last year after promising to fight corruption and improve the standard of living.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News<\/strong> Dr. Anning indicated that there are attempts to sabotage the efforts of President Buhari.<\/p>\n

\u201cBahari has not failed. What makes people think he has failed? Transitional democracies and transitional politics create instances of instability and fear. Don\u2019t forget Buhari has power forces against him and I think he is doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Anning observed that few years into his administration President Buhari has been able to instill discipline in Nigeria without changing any of the country\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you go to Nigeria now, there is widespread discipline in the country and Buhari hasn\u2019t changed any laws, it is his person and dignity that is bringing about the change,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Fantastically corrupt<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Cameron had described Nigeria and Afghanistan as \u201cfantastically corrupt\u201d in a conversation with the Queen.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister was talking to the Queen in relation to an anti-corruption summit in London which was held last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain\u2026 Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world,\u201d Mr Cameron added. <\/strong><\/p>\n
