Buhari's 'legacy'
On the legacy of Buhari, Adeyinka Agoro, a former head of the mass communication department at The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo state, said the former president has done his bit and left.
He noted that he remembers Buhari for Decree 4, a controversial law that was used during the military regime, which was heavily criticised by journalists.
Agoro told Legit.ng:
"President Muhammadu Buhari has done his bit and paid the price everyone of us will pay.
"I remember him more for Decree 4 of 1984, enacted on April 17, 1984. The Decree tried to silence the press.
"The decree was tagged 'The Protection Against False Accusations Decree', but its real intention was to muzzle the press and stifle dissent.
"We all are making history that will remain long after we have left. May God forgive President Buhari his sins."
