AN OPEN LETTER TO BUHARI

Dear Readers,

I must start by apologizing to you all.

I always wondered why a lot of people were not happy with Buhari.

I had a conversation with my sister yesterday and I finally understood why.


Mr President, the people are asking for an all inclusive government. A government that reflects all sectors of the Nigerian populace. A government that would include all people irrespective of what geo-political zone a person is from.

A government that would put behind the voting pattern of the last elections and understand that everybody cannot vote for you. People vote based on how they perceive a candidate, it is left for you to prove them wrong.

My people believe that you are on a revenge mission. Rewarding those who voted for you and punishing those who did not. Listen to their complaints and do something about it. Include them in your government and carry them along with whatever you are doing. Show them that you are for all Nigerians. They have a lot to contribute to this government.

My sincere apologies again for not understanding where the people are coming from.

Regards,
Ukwuoma.

The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started.

They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...
