Buhari’s Presidency, A Historic Error – Tinubu by impactinfluence: 4:55pm On Jun 29, 2016 |
The National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has slammed
President Muhammad Buhari’s lack of political
will to adopt the National Conference Report,
which gives room for fiscal federalism.
Tinubu, who aligned himself with the former Vice
President, Abubakar Atiku, on the call for the
restructuring of Nigeria, faulted Buhari’s
calculated attempt to throw the Confab report
into the archives.
Tinubu, stated this on Monday, June 20, through
his most trusted representative and Chairman,
Editorial Board of the Nation Newspaper, Sam
Omatseye, in his usual weekly column.
Omatseye, who usually represents Tinubu in
some high profile functions, delivers speeches on
behalf of the APC National Leader, as well as
come in his defense by writing rejoinder, stated
this barely 24 hours when the President arrived
Nigeria, after spending 14 days in London for
medical treatment.
Recall, that Buhari had recently said that he has
consigned the Confab report to the trashcan,
saying that his administration will not bother to
look into the report.
Condemning Buhari’s utterance, Tinubu said;
“The Governors clasp bowl in their hands every
month, to the counterfeit mercies of the center.
“The APC highlighted this in the course of the
campaign. For all its tendentious politics, the
conference in the twilight of the Jonathan era,
afforded a platform for more robust dialogue.
“It was therefore, a historic error that Buhari
tossed it into the archives. That big, dark vault
of nothingness called archives. The time will
come, when we shall build a museum of
suggestions, paradigms and solutions ignored
generation after generation. All the ceremonies,
tea breaks, lunches, deliberations, perorations,
communiqués and tomes of recommendations
turn into ashes in a bonfire of time,” he stated.
He maintained that, it is a waste of scarce
resources, and contempt for ideas, for Buhari to
discard the report spearheaded by former
President, Goodluck Jonathan.
“If Buhari ignores the call to restructure Nigeria,
it will haunt him, as he tackles our lopsided
being. I expect the call to increase in its
stridency in the coming months.
“The National Assembly lacks the courage, or
even the depth to push it. This new
restructuring fever might be another fight in
futility”.
While criticising Buhari’s hostility to new ideas,
he maintained that the cries for restructuring,
may make the country a “catacomb of echoes,
room after room, relaying the same calls. But the
audiences are dead, with worse than ear
infections”.
Drawing a conclusion, angry Tinubu said: “I am
for restructuring. The federal system sits a
centre like a leviathan in shallow waters,
ponderous, stuck and “swimless,” and at the
mercy of the nibbling rapacity of a swarm of
small fishes.
“We cannot sustain a system where the centre
owns over half of our money, our power, our
morality, our constitution. It is a garishly
decorated monarchy, a throwback to our
monarchical and feudal loyalties with a despotic
shadow of our military past”. www.saharareportersrescue.com. |
