Buhari’s ‘Change Begins With Me’ Is Dead On Arrival

On Thursday, the Buhari administration launched the change begins with me campaign. The National Orientation programme is to complement the administration’s fight against corruption.

However, a majority of Nigerians have expressed disappointment in the campaign at a time when the most pressing issues are the economy and the high cost of living.

You can't promise me change and when I demand it from you tell me that #ChangeBeginsWithMe. If it begins with me, then why do I need you?

Regarding #ChangeBeginsWithMe, Buhari is basically saying "Please don't judge me, and I won't judge you."

Buhari really did a #ChangeBeginsWithMe speech and thought we would applaud him like JFK. Wow.
Are we the ones that promised you change?

#ChangeBeginsWithMe but you took the country into recession in 1984 and repeated the same feat in 2016.

Buhari Change should begin with you
