President-elect Buhari's focus will be more on the central government in Abuja rather than in the State and local governments, and this will initiate his failures. If the Village Assemblies, Town Councils and State Legislatures are dysfunctional, the "efficiency" of the federal government will not affect the millions of Nigerians. Buhari's primary concentration should be on reinforcing the Judiciary, the Legislative and the press but also ensuring that the opposition remains very viable. I hope his administration is not similar to those of President Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello and co.
