During one of his press interview,
Gen. Muhammad Buhari asked the president to resign for failing the nation and
on his approach to Boko Haram insurgency.
I just couldn’t put it down to
one particular reason why the retired General is bent on making himself a
laughing stock. Nigeria needs at this critical period, genuine state men. Nigeria
cannot survive both politically and economically if all we can do is just to criticize
somebody. This blog is always critical of GEJ administration but understands as
well that the criticism must be constructive for us to have a change. When we criticize
and proffer solutions, we give government opportunity to hear the nation and
options to follow.
On Boko Haram, he said many
unprintable things but where was he when as an elder state man, North East was
burning under the fire set by the insurgents. What did Buhari do during
Maitatsine insurgents in Yola of early 80s while he was the Commander-In-
Chief? I am not always happy the way we play our crude politics. Jonathan is not
a good leader, almost all Nigerians are aware of this fact. But Buhari cannot
be a good replacement for a wobbling GEJ. We don’t see each other as partners in
progress in this nation, if we do, we will appreciate that if my opponent make
a good move, I should commend. Party politics is what is killing this nation
like corruption. Every party ones to be in power and truly they are in power
just like PDP. The party cannot account for much achievement aside the fact
that they are in power.
ACN is crying fouls over state of
emergency to drive home the point that they are the opposition party. In fact
there is no opposition to PDP. All the parties are no different in their
methods and ideologies. True opposition will organize seminars, symposiums, educate
electorates, and proffer options and solutions to burning national issues
continuously so as to impress their positions on the masses. A true opposition
will also acknowledge what the incumbent has done right to gain people from the
other side. This will be an opportunity to emphasize reasons for your criticisms.
We play politics with urgent national disaster as terrorism. It is a global
problem and now it is our shores. we all must rally to send them back to where
they come from. When terrorism festers it gain more abode, indoctrinates more
and destroys all in its wake even its supporters.
Truly there is poverty of almost
everything in this country. Do we still have men of honour?
