I get easily worried by parochial sentiments, garnished with tribal bigotry and stewed with religious alignments that we should vote Buhari again in 2019. I am not at all joining the crowd to condemn the President’s ill-health; what I am considering far outweigh that.
As far as the two years of this government is concerned, it’s all about wasting the nation’s meager resources on unproductive ventures. Government has distanced itself from the people and the yearnings and aspirations of the people as constantly reflected in many things that the media have not done well to have ignored.
How many millions have we been made to believe has accrued to our federation account from the much talked about corruption fight, the single treasury account, etc? And why have we continued to borrow money? How have we prioritized our recession resources? The spent billions touring the whole world with large and needless aids. He spent billions to showcase our military might to the world in Gambia while Nigerians continued to be ravaged and gruesomely brutalised and butchered by Boko-haram and Fulani militia unabated. What projects has the government executed so far? The only visible project is the $250million the former secretary to the government, Babachir Lawal, used in clearing grass at the IDP camps and the billions of dollars used in importing grass from Brazil, by our Agriculture minister, Chief Audu Ogbe. A government where the plight of cows ranks sacrilegiously above the sanctity and sacredness of human life and welfare? For the above reasons, a word is enough for the wise, as we march on to 2019.
