Juxtaposition

  Records are not kept simply to assist the frailty of memory, but to function as guides to the future.
General Buhari’s 20 months (1983-1985) in office as the then Head of State led to the depreciation of naira against dollar, and inflation rose to 40%. 10 months into office as the President of Nigeria, we see similar occurrences of depreciating currency and collapse of the economy. This time he blames it on sliding price of crude oil. I wonder how Dar es Salaam-John Pombe Magufuli of Tanzania was able to achieve his feet in 3 months.
Remember Ogedengbe who was executed for crime that did not carry capital punishment. Remember Tai Solarin who was incarcerated without trial for 20 months and denied medication for his asthmatic condition. Now we have Nnamdi Kalu in custody despite court ruling. Perhaps ‘’ BUHARISM’’ is back and what the hell is human right.
Buhari is yet to appear before Oputa Panel. Is the panel ‘’DISCIPLINED’’?
Was General Buhari in Nigeria (August 27, 1985) when he was overthrown by his chief of staff IBB? Now I hear he travels virtually every week and spends 1 million dollars per trip (not verified). Ok oh. Osinbanjo I sight you. If goodwill is the reason for his frequent sojourn overseas then I rest my case. I didn’t say so o, Osita Okechukwu did.
President Buhari has indeed started something commendable. Surprised about my change of heart, don’t be because there are two sides to every tale. Besides, he can’t be all despotic.
His administration appears slow because he has used the last 10 months to restructure the government. He even trimmed/pruned 42 ministries to 24 for greater efficiency and to save cost.
Buhari’s 10 months in power has once again showed us his commitment to fight corruption and indiscipline and this is glaring for us to see. Does DASUKIGATE ring a bell?  So don’t confuse it for Watergate scandal.
To a greater degree, you guys will agree with me that our security forces are winning the war against terrorism in the northern part of the country.
CHANGE is a gradual process so let’s give it time and mind you he has three years left to fulfil and enact his promises.
