For now, I see only
one urgent task for the President's new WAI Brigade: frog march President
Buhari and his team to the Eagle Square and flog all of them publicly.
You went to Mecca last
year acknowledging padding and pillaging of the budget. You even promised that
folks would be punished when you returned.
You returned and
shuffled the civil servants who padded the budget within the system and called
that punishment.
Feeling insulted that
mere civil servants who inserted a few hundred millions here and there into the
budget were beating their chests, thinking they'd done something worthy of
mention, NASS members moved in, claiming padding seniority over the civil servants
and raising the bar to billions.
In all this and in the
middle of your anti-corruption war, you allowed Dogara to strut in and out of
the Villa like a peacock and to scoff at the nation in an arrogant media chat.
Then comes the pambambari of it all: your Presidency, through woolly-headed
spokespersons, now says there was no padding. No budget padding?
President Buhari, the
upper lip of your government is quarreling with the lower lip of your
government. The upper lip says there was padding and promised to deal with the
padders. The lower lip says there has been no padding.
Only your WAI Brigade
can help by flogging sense into both lips of your government.
