Buhari Is Nigeria’s Problem, Not Its Solution – Pete Hoekstra by DonDanServices(m): 10:04pm On Jun 17, 2016
US Wall Street Journals has published an article on its website which was authored by Pete Hoekstra describing Nigerian President, Mohammadu Buhari as “Nigeria’s problem and not its solution.”

The article accused President Buhari of stiffness, lack of vision and reactive approach to issues.

Please read on......

“It’s hard to see how his administration’s inflexibility, lack of vision and reactive approach will achieve this. Mr. Buhari notes that building trust is a priority for Nigeria.

“But an anticorruption drive that is selective and focused on senior members of the opposition party creates deep political divisions.

“Meanwhile, members of Mr. Buhari’s own cabinet, accused of large-scale corruption, walk free. Seventy percent of the national treasury is spent on the salaries and benefits of government officials, who make upwards of $2 million a year.

As for Mr. Buhari’s ideas to rebalance the economy and regenerate growth, his damaging and outdated monetary policy has been crippling.

“The manufacturing sector, essential to Nigeria’s diversification, has been hardest hit, exacerbating an already fast-growing employment crisis.

“Foreign investors have started to flee en masse. Mr. Buhari makes only brief mention of the country’s deteriorating security situation. But security and stability are precursors to economic growth and development.

“Boko Haram has been pushed back for now, but little attention is paid to the structural issues that have spurred its rise.

“Instead, the Nigerian government has diverted much-needed military resources to the Niger Delta, where rising militancy has reduced Nigeria’s oil production to less than half the country’s capacity, and half the amount required to service the national budget.

“Much of these tensions arise from Mr. Buhari’s decision to cut amnesty payments to militants and an excessively hard-line approach in a socially and politically sensitive environment.

“Other ethnic tensions are also growing. In the country’s south, protests have been met by a bloody response from the Nigerian military, stoking the fire and galvanizing support for an independent state of Biafra.

“Rising tensions could again pose one of the greatest threats to Nigeria’s stability and future.”

He seems to be. Imagine a truck without propeller? Isn't it a problem to other road users with desired destination?

Is it because he presented NEPA as certificate and prefer to engage the services of 13 SANs instead of showing us his certificate?
