Imagine them calling a former African president an ineffectual buffoon! In an article titled ‘Crude Tactics’, Economist magazine described former president Jonathan as an ineffectual buffoon. How disrespectful!

The article reads in part;
“In the eight months since Mr Buhari arrived at Aso Rock, the presidential digs, the homicidal jihadists of Boko Haram have been pushed back into the bush along Nigeria’s borders.

The government has cracked down on corruption, which had flourished under the previous president, Goodluck Jonathan, an ineffectual buffoon who let politicians and their cronies fill their pockets with impunity. Lai Mohammed, a minister, reckons that just 55 people stole $6.8 billion from the public purse over seven recent years.”
