Our country has never been polarised along ethnic and religious lines since the Independence like under Buhari. How comes the secessionist tones have been ingloriously amplified under a Buhari presidency? How comes the rope binding us as a people has continued to grow thinner under Buhari watch? How comes the Northern/Southern, Muslim/Christian dichotomy is now more visible than ever? The ruling party must do a soul search and pose itself the salient question as to why the country has been driven to near a Pariah state under its watch. A country that constitutionally ought to be a Federal Republic is now a sectional state, visibly manifested in the grossly lopsided appointments of key government functionaries. The economy is in an epic recession. People losing their means of livelihood. Families starve. Hunger bites and peoples’ human dignity being stripped. Our youths roam the streets unemployed. Insecurity assuming a deadlier dimension. Our people have never witnessed the kind of hardship and difficulty that have dehumanised and humiliated them like it is under APC government. The hope with which Nigerians welcomed them into power has fatally been dashed with bad leadership and misgovernance. The situation appears to be sliding to worse case scenario as days go buy, just as hopes keep evaporating. Where there is frustration and hunger, anger becomes inevitable. The Buhari presidency and its landmark achievements exist only in the figment of the imagination of its chief propagandist, Alh. Lai Mohammed. A man whose lips spew nothing but specious lies, a man from whose mouth truth has taken a flight, a man who cannot be a model for anyone nursing the intention of being the government’s spokesperson. It’s on record that the APC has squandered the last two years of its administration blaming Jonathan and the PDP, as if they are still in opposition. They have seemed utterly helpless and clueless on how power can be used to transform a state. No fair spot has been achieved in the area of infrastructure. The power sector has not received any boost since this government came into power. Rather, is has continued to slide to comatose. The generation has continued to drop on daily basis with our people spending so much to generate their own power while at the same time paying humongous amount to discos for distributing darkness. The roads are death traps. Our people have continually embarked on journey of no return on such roads. Food insecurity is threatening. Our people go to bed hungry in a country of plenty. Farmers have had it rough attracting incentives from government while the minister of agriculture Chief Audu Ogbeh is looking for bags to package rice, wherever it exists to the market. Our education is groaning under the weight of poorly thought-out policies. The end to ASUU strike that has sent children out of classrooms, distorted their timetable and make them prone to all forms of criminal activities seems not to be in sight. Free speech and civil liberty are being criminalised under a Buhari government. The recent police intimidation and harassment of “Resume or Resign” protesters is an indication that a fascistic dictatorship is looming. The police that should be in the vanguard of protecting the rights of our citizens to speak and be heard are being used to oppress, suppress and gag them. To think that this administration has failed in its myriad of milk and honey promises to Nigerians is akin to inviting a heart attack. A “technically” defeated boko haram has become fiercer and dangerous than ever. They kill with unbridled impunity, kidnap and hold territories. Three lecturers of University of Maiduguri who are still guests to the dreadly terrorist group is still an eloquent testimony to how much alive they are. Kidnap is on the rampage. No one is spared. Everyone and anyone is a target including our school children. The police that wield their might on innocent and hapless citizens who are on the street to demand accountability from the government have shown absolute powerlessness on common criminals. This government has become a mere comic relief to the citizens. The disappointment is mind-boggling and overwhelming. Leadership is not a game of caricature but an important deal. The social media went agog when this rat story filtered in with citizens expressing their weary over this government. Propaganda can help bring a government to power but does not sustain such government. Truth and nothing but the truth remains the bastion to gain the confidence and the trust of the people. This government can still use the remaining two years it has to show the people it means business by restoring their human dignity and rekindling their hope. If this is not done, come 2019, Nigerians cannot be fooled for a second time.
