Warning: Let no wailer see this as an opportunity to wail uncontrollably. This article is in line with my personal resolve to call the president to order on this forum whenever he missteps. Besides, GEJ was not an option in the last election. So, please keep your sermon of “we told you”, “we warned you”, “Buhari is incompetent” and other bla bla blas to yourself.

Fuel Scarcity: Deafening Silence from the president
One area that our hopes and expectations of good result of Buhari’s presidency were high is in the petroleum industry. Apart from the fact that the president has failed to find a permanent solution to the issue of oil subsidy in the last six months he has presided over the affairs of Nigeria, he has also failed to provide petrol to Nigerians at the regular pump price of N87 and with ease.

To say that the current situation of fuel scarcity has brought untold hardship and resulted in irreplaceable loss of productive time is an understatement. The more worrisome is the fact that the president who doubles as the nation’s minister of petroleum has not deemed it fit and necessary to address the nation (through TV or through one of his media aides) on the hardship citizens are passing through and also use the opportunity to apologize and assuage our anger. This silence is too deafening to be ignored and I hereby condemn it in its entirety, the president’s handling of the fuel scarcity we have at our hands. He should as a matter of national urgency address the nation on what is happening, the government’s efforts to normalize it and above all the long term solution (if not permanent) to the problem. Anything short of this amounts to taking Nigerians for a ride. Pure and simple!

Excessive Overseas Trip
Another area I think the president has erred in recent times is that of gallivanting abroad at every given opportunity. When ministers had not come on board I could understand the need for him to personally attend to those numerous summits and conferences but with the coming of all ministers I’d expected that there will be a drastic reduction in such journeys. The latest one to Iran for Gas Exporting Countries didn’t require his personal presence plus that of Ibe Kachikwu (Min. of state for petroleum) and Tunde Fashola (Min of Power, Works and Housing). He could have let Kachikwu and Fashola attend that one and if he must attend he should have let Ibe Kachikwu stay at home tending to the fuel crisis at hand.

As if the gaffe of the Iran trip was not enough, I read moment ago that the president is due to lead a delegation to Paris on Climate Change! Now, this one is a trip too many in my opinion. We have more pressing issues at home than climate change. Besides, we have a minister of Environment who can lead a Nigerian delegation if we must attend. Why our president must reduce himself to “Ajala travels all over the world” in the face of enormous challenges at the home front beats my imagination.

Dear PMB, you have a chance to prove to Nigerians that we did not make a mistake in electing you president. If you however choose to do as it pleases you even in the face of sufferings of the common man, 2019 is not far away.

May God Bless Nigeria!

God bless you for this honest opinion/advice. Buhari would definitely need Advisers like you. The difference between your write-up and that of wailers is that you're not only condemning but also proferring solutions while the wailers condemn, insult, curse and spew all sorts of gibberish against the President.

I am very much aware that Buhari will not do well. And having some like Osibanjo who is not decisive is a big blow to this regime. During Buhari military time Idiagbo was the one incharge. Had it been that Tinubu was left to be the vice to Buhari we would have been in a better place than where we are now. But this is assignment from God to know that all those noise Buhari was making that he will do magic in a second are all false. The worst is yet to come. This four years is operation fasten your belt. God help us. Amen.

1)Warning that began your lamentation doesn't hold in reality...

2)Do a comparative analysis of Jonathan first 7months in office vis a vis buhari...

3)If Jonathan isn't an option then buhari should not have contested at all because he isn't fit for governance intellectual-wise...

4)I challenge ALL APC supporters who claim buhari is good to name a single idea he has brought to governance since May 29th till date that does not Jonathan imprint boldly...so what makes him good or better aside ethnic cum religious sentiments... cool

Lol... This is simply an insight into the psyche of the kind of people who support PMB. Unlike the 'G-E-J is G-O-D' squad, most of the people supporting PMB (especially from the south) are purely Nigerians who want a better quality of leadership in their country and these people will call a spade a spade. The allegiance is to good leadership and performance, not to senseless and shameless clannishness or religion.

PMB has committed several annoying gaffes so far in his first 6 months, but only an irrational 'G-E-J is G-O-D' adherent would wail that a 6 months old administration is a failure (compared to a 5 year long disaster of the past).
One would have expected that Buhari would learn from the mistakes made by previous administrations but he is evidently shaping up to be a more excruciating nightmare.

Jonathan probably would have done a better job if he were the one that succeeded Buhari instead of the current arrangement.

Buhari has been a disappointment so far...

May God Bless Nigeria!

As much as you have your good reasons, you did not consider the fundamental reasons behind PMB's actions.

For example, the only reason why there is fuel scarcity now is because there was no provision for subsidy in 2015 budget made by Ngozi and Jonathan. PMB who knows this is a trap for him quickly made a supplementary budget to the NASS to avoid a constitutional issue. As a result, this is not his fault. Note also that the bill has been with NASS for about 2 weeks now yet to be discussed at the plenary by the Senate.

Overseas trip. Most of the times we castigate for no reason. Have we lost anything as a result of his trips? We have gained more than we have lost, if at all we lost anything. There is Cost-benefit Ratio Analysis in Management Accounting.

Is it,therefore not just a common-sense for him to embark on things that are helping our bilateral relationship with countries of the world. Nigeria has been talking about diversification from oil, the last trip he went was about gas and gas related issues, which we have in large deposit in Nigeria, does not follow normal logic that he should have attended such meeting when we stand to gain more than many countries in attendance?

finally, all these meetings are/ were equally well attended by the Head of other countries government as well, why are we now saying our own president should not attend such?

I will only believe you when I see people like NgeneUkwenu, Demdem, Omenka, and all those NL abókis critic Buhari's government constructively, like Passingshot has done.

He (Passingshot) is far more rational than most of Buhari's supporters. It's unfortunate that he'll likely be among the first to withdraw their support for Buhari. By then, he will go dumb on NL, for fear of being labelled a wailer.

Anyway, nice job Passingshot.

You are an unrepentant Buharistic sycophant who is incapable of putting the heat on him.

Show me a thread you have created or even a post you have made that strongly condemns his actions.

We all know the progenitors of God-Figure in Nigerian politics.
Buhari is the God who can do no wrong, even when you criticize him, you do so while massaging his ego.

Stop hiding under passingshot to form objectivity. I believe you are pained in a way that he created this thread.
Haha... I believe the history of a person's statements on this site are accessible to all so you can do that assignment by yourself. I questioned the delay in appointing ministers, I questioned the ban on IPMN generators, I questioned the unnecessary denials, cover-ups and general secrecy surrounding the recent death of our soldiers, I questioned the rationale behind PMB's refusal to appoint Igbos (even though I equally blasted the different Igbo groups who kept giving him unnecessary ultimatums on this matter), I also totally share passingshot's views on the poor response of the FG to the current fuel crisis. I dont have to open threads to prove my point, I hardly even open threads on this site.

And just to let you know, with just 6 months down the line, I have resolved to allow this government some reasonable time to settle down and watch the direction they want to go before I start throwing my own missiles; unlike some folks I know who irrationally and emotionally started criticising even PMB's height from his first week in office. Besides, most of my pro-buhari statements are mainly 'RESPONSES' to irrational outbursts from jonathanians who are still hungover from election loss and mainly criticise emotionally instead of objectively.

Meanwhile, can you yourself kindly show me where you criticised your hero GEJ even upon his multitude of gaffes?...
