Verily, verily, we
should say it to President Muhammadu Buhari and the men and women who are
assisting in running his government that this is not the best of time to say ‘silence
is golden’. Surely, silence can’t be a strategy in Nigeria at this
time when there are serious concerns and questions about the future of the most
populous black nation on earth.
*President Muhammadu Buhari |
Before the president’s reputation managers
start screaming blue murder and resume their blame game on the previous
administration, the concerns raised today are not about them. They (concerns)
are about the office of the president from the office of the citizen. The
president and his men should note that before they begin to raise huge funds
for the 2019, there are weightier matters of governance, especially about
corruption that they should settle quickly, lest they will be the last in 2019.
Indications are daily emerging that
politicking around 2019 is beginning to becloud sound judgment in the presidency.
As I noted here last week, there is no need reading the president’s lips
anymore: I advised us to read his leaps in Kano the other day.
