"Tinubu cannot be as bad as Buhari": Analyst

Meanwhile, a public affairs analyst, Akinleye Segun, wants to save himself from disappointment.

Segun has consciously set the bar low but believes the new president "can't be as bad as Muhammadu Buhari."

He told Legit.ng:

"When it comes to politicians, I like to lower my expectations or not expect anything at all, that way, I don't get disappointed.
"With Tinubu, I am not expecting much. However, he can't be as bad as Muhammadu Buhari. By this, I mean in the area of appointment. I expect him to put round pegs in round holes. That will actually determine how "successful" or otherwise his administration will be. That's all. He will keep travelling abroad for treatment like President Buhari did."
