THE TROUBLING QUESTION NOW IS WHY WE ELECTED PRESIDENT BUHARI?

Image may contain: 1 person, standing and suit
The truth must be told. With almost two years of APC governance at the federal level, it is becoming very certain that president Mohammadu Buhari came into office totally unprepared. Despite seeking the office in over three attempts, the president had no core economic adviser, no documented economic and development agenda. The unpreparedness has become more glaring with an incompetent cabinet, lacking in ideas.

Buhari has no clue and he is not governing well. He is protective of corrupt associates while pretending to be fighting corruption, insensitive to the plight of the poor and clannish. His supporters and majority of Nigerians thought that this man could do it! He was the change we needed!” But now that is doubtful, he has made Nigeria way worse than he met it—and that says a heck of a whole lot given where we thought we were before now.

Nigeria is at its most perilous state right now. Everything is falling apart. Suffering has reached dizzyingly crushing heights. The poor cannot feed, and relentless hyperinflationary conflagration is eating up the middle class and dragging it to the ranks of the desperately poor. Nothing is working. It was customary to say that the country was on autopilot during Jonathan’s days. Now it has come to a standstill. And some people want everyone to be quiet? What sort of conscience do people have? 

Nigerians are not finding it funny any longer to trivialize the hardship the present leadership has visited on them. We should not be told that politics and governance are entirely different things even though related.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
