Dr. Kanbi Arogundade, the sister of British-Nigerian actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, has shared her thoughts following the death of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari reportedly died in London after battling a long-term illness. In the wake of the news, several public figures including Portable, DJ Switch, and Rinu Oduala have voiced their opinions across social media platforms.
Dr. Kanbi joined the conversation with a critical message. She expressed disappointment that, despite leading Nigeria for eight years, Buhari was unable to build an effective healthcare system. She highlighted the irony of him seeking medical treatment abroad and ultimately passing away outside the country.
Her post served as a wake-up call, as she urged Nigerians to reflect on the consequences of poor governance. She voiced her hopes for a future where a Nigerian president would invest in building reliable institutions that citizens could trust and rely on.
Many social media users echoed her frustration, pointing out how the political elite often depend on foreign countries for healthcare and education while neglecting to improve local systems. Some commenters also criticized leaders for only returning home during elections or for family burials.
The country continues to mourn the former leader, though reactions remain mixed. Notably, former entertainer Charly Boy likened the public’s response to Buhari’s death to the reaction following General Sani Abacha’s passing, offering insight into why many Nigerians have responded with criticism rather than sorrow.
