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.
