Prior to the 2015 elections, President Buhari and his team traveled the length and breadth of Nigeria, canvassing for votes and promising change. But a year and 100 days later, Buhari has not only failed Nigerians on daily basis, he has left the Nation in tension, hunger and confusion.
From witch hunting, lack of workable economic policies to aimless globe trotting, Buhari has just made history, as the emperor that led Africa’s greatest nation and biggest economy, into recession.
And after series of well planned and sequential propagandas, Buhari’s information minister, is about to launch a futile campaign ‘Change begins with me’. And according to him, “change cannot begin with the government”.
This does not only mock the Nigerian masses, it also attempts to blame the Recession on the very people who voted them into power.
First, it is worthy to note that, Nigeria is where it is today, courtesy of the ever patriotic and morally sound Nigerian citizens. No doubt Nigeria has the bad eggs, and these, most times find their ways into government. And Lai Muhammad, probably feel all Nigerians are like them.
Almost from Independence, we have always had a leadership deficit and left for Nigeria’s leaders alone, the Nation would have long gone down the depth of the Atlantic. This makes it an insult for one man to blame the incapabilities and ineffectiveness of their administration on the Nigerian masses.
Secondly, Buhari’s administration lacks the moral grounds to preach attitudinal change to Nigerians. Not keeping to their campaign promises is fraudulent, using state institutions as a tool to fight opposition is high level corruption and still collecting security votes while the economy bleeds and falls into recession, is wickedness and supernatural insensitivity.
Nigeria’s change must begin with Buhari. Nigerians must help the President understand that he has a responsibility to the Nation.
Under his eyes, the Nation is becoming a joke. Some Countries poorer than some streets in Lagos are making mockery of us. Our currency is losing value, faster than the prices of okra and periwinkle. And all we have, is a wanky fairy tale campaign.
I urge Nigerians from all walks of Life, to shout at the President (In case he hasn’t fully recovered from his ear infection) to stand up and do his job.
He should create the 3000,000 jobs he promised, feed our school children, pay #5000 to 23 million Nigerians (with 2015 arrears), start fulfilling some of his 81 campaign promises, and he will see the attitude of the few bad Nigerians change.
