Lest Our Mr. President Becomes A DICTATOR. by kingdompropty: 1:03pm On Aug 29, 2015
From his Party to his private handlers to the entire nation everybody seems to be shut out of his decision making, leaving observers wondering if Nigeria have become a conquered territory.

Even among sincere northerners they agree we have never had it this bad, where a section of the country after almost 100 days is shut out completely from appointments, while another region holds almost a 100% .

As a private individual who doesn't carry the card of any political party I believe it is worrisome the way and manner Mr. President have continued to run his government without recourse to the constitution to put him there at all, recently an AMCON chairman was appointed without any input from the senate unlike his predecessor who went through a rigorous screening, it took the media to call him to order.

Shortly after his inauguration as CIC in an interview in US before the world media he told the world he would treat the north differently from the south his reasons being that he got 97% votes there as against 5% down south especially in the South East, therefore they must pay for it. This is coming from a President that won an election with less that 3m votes.

Every vindictive leaders end badly. When Mandela won election in South Africa, haven spent upward of 20 frustrating years in jail, he quickly constituted the famous Truth and reconciliation committee, the healing was enormous, but in this case we have a leader that had ruled as a military ruler, but tried thrice to return through the court failed, as a result he has shut out Judges from his government. The case of Ndigbo is like that of lepers in this government, which is a story for another day.

The Muslim brotherhood party in Egypt got their chance on a platter of gold, instead of quickly building a united nation they went after perceived enemies, we all saw the end of that government.

The sooner lovers of democracy started talking the better for our nation. Every Nigerian agree that the anti corruption body language is in order, but some of us believe it must be total and not selective as that will paint a picture of selective judgement.

Finally, Nigeria is not a private estate neither is it a conquered territory for a leader to run government like a one man show. Roughly 3 months after winning election inauguration and 5 months after winning election a serious government ought to have hit the ground running, let leave abra da cabra out of this. This government must start to work the business of governance quickly. Like some will say even if he only have Nepa bill as certificate or appoint only his kinsmen.
