“He must retool, refocus and aggressively face the social,
economic (fiscal and monetary) problems we have head
on, without letting the anti corruption drive look like a
political distraction,” the cardinal noted. Expressing
disenchantment with the president’s style, Okogie said: “A
snail paced and disordered methodology in governance,
his apparent disdain for judicial authority and decisions, a
lost today found tomorrow 2016 budget debacle, and a
rather rudderless and confused Central Bank with an
unclear monetary policy strategy (inevitably increasing the
economic uncertainties being faced by Nigerians), have set
alarm bells ringing in my mind and in the minds of many
discerning Nigerians.
“Indeed, his perceived discordant relationship with the
leadership of the Legislature has many naysayers
chuckling and remarking that President Buhari’s
government is heading rather naturally, into his comfort
zone – a one man show.”
Okogie also noted that a lot of Nigerians are beginning to
feel that Buhari is fast transforming this nation into a
police state where Mr. President, the EFCC and DSS rule
the day.
His words: “What they say is given lurid headlines in the
media, and it seems to all that some of the defendants/
accused persons are being tried in the press with
information conveniently slipping into the hands of the
press, presumably from the security agencies, even before
such people have been charged to court.” He also frowned
on the President’s refusal to heed court pronouncements
regarding the bail granted to the Director of Radio Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu and former National Security Adviser, Col.
Sambo Dasuki.
He said: “The Pro-Biafran activist, Nnmadi Kanu and the
erstwhile NSA Sambo Dasuki were granted bail by the
courts but such bails were disregarded by the security
agents under Buhari’s watch. Unfortunately, democracy is
difficult and this government must realise that democracy
pervasively coloured with impunity, arbitrariness and high
handedness, cannot be used to fight and correct the
financial impunity and reckless abandon of the previous
administration, even if it is more difficult to do so, the rule
of law must be obeyed and be the order of the day.
“If Buhari wants to leave a creditable legacy come 2019 he
should retool the bureaucracy. For instance, the roof of the
Central Bank is leaking water.
Governors, who arm-twisted Okonjo Iweala into signing
out our reserves held by Central Bank, are today ministers
in the APC government. We are still talking about change
and corruption when old things refuse to pass away! These
political gimmicks can only carry away gullible or naive
Nigerians. President Buhari should beam his flash light on
policies and programmes that will lift up the Masses.
“Existing industries are almost dead and call for urgent
revitalization.
The budget ought to aid solutions to the mass
unemployment, Rural-Urban migration, skewedness in the
distribution of income, abject rural poverty and
industrialization of rural economy.
The 774 local government capitals should be linked to their
state capitals. Even the mind boggling infrastructure
deficits can take the entire tenure to address.
The weakness in the bureaucracy has not been addressed.
Consequently, the problem the APC government is trying
to solve is bound to re-occur because it is treatment of
effect rather than the cause. Causative factors are being
totally ignored or glossedover. Institutional weakness
pervades the MDAs, offices of the Accountant General,
Auditor General and the Central Bank itself.” He observed
that leakages in the economy had remained unnoticed and
unplugged over the last 16 years of uninterrupted
democracy.
“Our Change must change something. How could we
continue to talk of change in a static system? How could we
be talking of change when the same crew are governors,
ministers, senators, and members of the House of
Representatives?
This is a cyclical devolution of power to the same people
who are never out of power! “What sort of change is the
President talking about? When will the youth take over
when even a governor does not take a bow and go? When
shall we plan for the replacement of delinquent
leadership? This is what constitutes change.
Change is not changing from Jonathan to Buhari, Okoie
asked. According to the Cardinal, “Change is behavioural
and pervades all levels of society including the family, the
church, the mosque, schools, market women and business
men. “When we talk of change, we talk of positive-salutary,
healthy growth and development oriented change that cuts
across the entire gamut of the society.
What sort of change is this that ignores the glaring un-
equal distribution of national income?
It is absurd that the same government that is unable to pay
N18, 000 per month to the lowest grade of labour can
afford to pay N1.8 Million per month to anyone in the
economy.
Why must tax payers’ money be used to feed Mr. President
and his family?
“Why must the tax payers’ money be used to buy brand
new exotic vehicles for the legislatures, judges, ministers
and governors when they are heavily paid?
Why don’t they use loan finance and mortgage finance to
buy their cars and houses?
This is also a form of looting and it is the cause of
grounding the economy and calling in IMF spin-doctor all
the time.
Precisely two years ago this same President Buhari
rejected off hand this use of spindoctor to heal the ailing
economy.
He preferred the use of counter trade and inward looking
policies like cutting down cost and flamboyant exotic life
styles.
“Today I am not so sure we have the same Buhari. I do
hope he has not changed all the colours of the rainbow.
The ruling elites are living a luxurious life while the masses
are in abject poverty and yet we are all Nigerians. Enough
of this change-conundrum,”


-Cardinal Wailing Wailer Okogie
