His administration was probed by the River State Government and it was found that he mismanaged his state’s resources, but the issue was swept under the carpet. He was made a minister through undemocratic means.
2. Goodluck Jonathan
He is the immediate past president of Nigeria. He made the headlines through out this year. So many corruption scandals are attached to his name in the media. Since he left the seat of the president, the media has still not left him. He is respected for his democratic ideology and his concession in the first quarter of the year.
1.      Muhammadu Buhari
He is the current president of Nigeria. He made the headlines through out this year. He is sort of a “celebrity” more than a president. His campaign was carried into the most interior of all Nigerian villages. He is respected and popular among Nigerians. His incorruptibility helped him beat the ruling party. However, he has come under criticism as of recent, because of his non-fulfillment of most of his campaign promises.

The color of this rust is that of “gold” which the persona shows. The use of “scattered” shows disorderliness of houses in the city.
