Usman Yusuf, a Professor in the Medical Sciences, is working hard at being a voice of opposition. He cut a controversial image during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during which he headed the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). He was fingered for a bouquet of infractions under his watch and was serially upbraided by the minister who superintended over his brief, the Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewoye. Yusuf was subsequently eased out of office after which he became a notable critic. He thereafter severally chastised Buhari for his below par performance and the massive looting of state resources under his watch. This was even as the former president postured as being incorruptible. Yusuf refused to be restrained by such parochial considerations as his being from the same state, Katsina, as the former president. Incapacity and ineptitude for him know no creed or colour.
