This is not a time for
speaking in tongues. It is a time to tell President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) and
all the governing APC chieftains that two years should be enough to see some
light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, as someone once put it comically
too, there is neither a tunnel nor light in the country where mediocrity is
daily nurtured by sycophancy.
Indeed, a season of sycophancy is here again and the cheer leaders and mega sycophants who are members of a mega party called AGIP (Any Government in Power) will heap mega praises on the Buhari administration for dealing decisively with corruption and insecurity in the North East. And we in the media will readily assist them in propagating the ‘monumental achievements’ in the last two years. In fact, their consultants within the media have begun the journalistic legwork. And from tomorrow (May 29, 2017), we will be reading balanced stories with headlines such as “Knocks, Kudos For Buhari’s Two Years In Office”. In the end there will be more “kudos” than “knocks” for the 'wonderful' administration, an idea no force on earth could have stopped in May, 2015. We are indeed in an era of sycophancy that has shaped massive mediocrity everywhere we go in the country.
