Buhari and Momodu
I
wish to say categorically and with all emphasis at my command that the
Buhari government is flailing. And only the ubiquitous hypocrites and
cheer leaders would fail to say it as it is, that the grunts of the
people are fast turning into deafening lamentations. No amount of
approbation by a President Obama can detract from the plaintive
suffering and cries of the Nigerian people. Indeed, much as I love
Obama, we must remember that his primary interest is America and the
fight against corruption which is a sub-plot in America’s fight against
terrorism.
In
case our dear President is unaware, and he feels only the wailing
wailers are grumbling, I wish to assure him that this is not the case.
Some of the President’s friends and supporters are deeply worried at the
sad turn of events. They are wondering what went wrong and what can be
done to turn the dangerous slide around. In fact, everything looks to
them like a bad dream, a nightmare in reality. But on a personal note, I
don’t think the situation is as irredeemable as it seems. The solution
lies squarely on the President’s table. Only he can salvage his
government from this stupendous slump from grace to grass.
