Editorial captioned: "TINUBU'S FIRST ANNIVERSARY: ERA OF PAIN", May
29, 2024, spoke volumes on the monstrosities and disastrous performance cum
unspeakable privation which the masses are passing through in addition to
unbaiting mindless slaughtering of people and kidnapping syndicate with
humongous ransom extortion This is what the "Emilokan" presidency has
to offer Nigerians suffocating under the multi-dimensional poverty ravaging the
entire landscape of the country.
The
incisive Editorial said inter alia:
"Beyond
regular meetings with the security chiefs, Tinubu seems to have no strategy for
taming the violence. His lack of a plan is seen in the rampage by bandits,
Islamic terrorists, Fulani herdsmen attacks on farmers, and abductions across
the country.
"Like
Buhari, Tinubu ensconces himself in the Aso Rock fortress without identifying
with the victims of violence by visiting the scene of the crime. He should show
more empathy.
"Tinubu
is toeing the path of his predecessors on restructuring. This is ludicrous. It
is wishful thinking to believe that Nigeria will make progress without
restructuring.
"The
President should make restructuring a priority. It will unleash Nigeria’s
productive capacity, rebuild trust in governance, improve security, and
de-escalate inter-ethnic tensions".
****My
comment:
Unfortunately
for Nigerians, any person or group expecting anything different from what have
happened in the past one year in the governance of Nigeria, is luxuriating in a
pipedream.
Mark
you, there will be nothing like restructuring the lopsided Federation to
reinvent True Fiscal Federalism with the decentralized security architecture as
integral part of restructuring governance. This is a "no-go area"
furtively allegedly 'covenanted' between "Emilokan" presidency and
the purported owners of Nigeria, the support "Northern Political Emirate
Establishment and Fulani Feudal Oligarchy".
