PRESIDENT BUHARI AND HIS SINCERITY OF PURPOSE

We commend the present government for tackling head on the Boko Haram insurgency and for recording progress. I am however concerned about the spate of killings in southern Kaduna and I am wondering what the federal government is doing about it. Should we not have a wholistic approach when it comes to issues of national interest? And treat every matter with the same level of urgency? Especially issues that deal with groups taking lives of innocent citizens.
How sincere is this government in dealing with these issues ? If the president is concerned about tackling insurgency, then shouldn't the incessant killings in southern Kaduna bother him or is he less concerned about it because the killings are targeted at Christians?
If president Buhari is interested in solving Nigeria's multi faceted problems then shouldn't he be more proactive? Appointing sharp technocrats who would deliver within a time frame instead of loyalists and political appointees.

He has good intentions for the country, they say but he is not putting his heart where his mouth is!

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 ...
