5 Things President Buhari Can Do To Regain The Trust Of Nigerians by Samguine: 11:20am On Jul 27, 2016
Before the 2015 elections, President Muhammadu Buhari was touted as the messiah that will fix all Nigeria’s problems. He was repackaged and presented to Nigerians as the best invention since sliced bread.


Fast-forward to 2016 – Nigerians who voted for Buhari are now reawakening from the spell cast over them during the elections. There is widespread poverty in the land and the middle class may soon become extinct. As at June 2016, the President’s approval rating stood at 39 percent as against a very high rating of 80 per cent in October 2015. People want to see the President work for them. Here are 5 things President Buhari can do to endear himself to Nigerians one more time:

1. Cabinet reshuffle

The President’s cabinet is filled with professional politicians and not technocrats as expected; a little shake-up will really boost the President’s image. A lot of Nigerians will be happy to see him sack Minister of science and technology, minister of Agric, Minister of finance, Minister of interior, minister of education and his spokespersons. The President also needs to move a few others to ministries best suited for their skillset.


2. Visit the South-South and South East


Before the election, the President stunned Nigerians by dressing up in clothes depicting different Nigerian cultures. He did his best to show Nigerians that he wanted to be President of Nigeria and not President of his region. Today, the story is different. ‘’King of the North’’ – that is now one of President Buhari’s nickname. Some will argue that he is more sectional than any other President Nigeria ever had. What better way to shut up critics than to pay a visit to the South-South and South-East?


3. Commence distribution of N5,000 cash

Poor Nigerians expected Buhari to make their lives better but today they’re suffering the most. Parents now exchange their kids for bags of rice and cartons of noodles – the country is experiencing a technical recession. A lot of jobs have been lost and no new ones created. Nigerians all over are waiting to see President Buhari’s magic move that will end their sufferings. What move can be more magical than distributing free money that was promised during the elections? . Distribution of N5,000 to poor and vulnerable Nigerians may not solve every problem but it will sure help President Buhari regain the support of millions of Nigerians.

4. Focus on doing good rather than looking good

The Buhari administration has become one that is bent on looking good rather than doing good. We see more photos of the President doing mundane everyday things than we hear him speak. Nigerians want to see the President flag off new projects, they want to hear him roll out new policies and not pose for photos with newspapers.

5. Stop talking about the past


‘’Shut up and face front’’- is what President Buhari badly needs to hear from his advisers. Over one year into his term as President, Buhari is still talking about the previous administration. He has even managed to talk about the military coup that removed him from office in 1985. So far, Buhari has shown more interest in Nigeria’s past than her future. Young Nigerians do not want to hear the President talk about ‘what was’, they want to hear him talk about ‘what will be’.


--------------

No Presidency is perfect but President Buhari can do better. If Nigeria must make progress under Buhari, then the President must up his game.

Nothing he does will please some of you.

The hatred is deep. The good thing is he doesn't really need SE/SS to win a 2nd term.

Yes, we know the afonjas will always help him out but we don't care.

His government will continue to be turbulent and he might end up as the worst president in the history of this country if he does not change his ways.

This is just the beginning.

I have been observing the way things have taken a turn for the worse since Buhari became president and I have the following advise for him if he will listen to move this nation forward:

1. Buhari should apologise for his 5% speech even if he has to do it in a diplomatic way.

2. He should immediately form an inclusive government; bring qualified people from the eastern axis of this country(i.e SS & SE) into the sensitive parts of government including the oil sector and the military.

3. Find a way of releasing Nnamdi kanu even if it is to arrange a prison break.

4. Take a look at the last confab report, there are many wonderful recommendation there. He may not accept all the recommendations but he could at least implement some.

5. He should personally visit the SE/SS and reassure them that we are all Nigerians and can still work together to make this nation great again.

6. He should make sure that there is a very functional seaport in the SS like Apapa in Lagos and create policies to deliberatly drive traffic to that port. This will greatly impact the economy of the region and will help spread development. Nigeria is too big to rely on Apapa for almost everything, things cannot go on like this.

7. A lot of the tension in the land today is because of struggle for power at the center. We can decide to revert to a regional style of government where your Premier is like your president such that the centre would be considerably weakened and unattractive. All this struggle for who becomes president will cease. Alternatively, we can adopt a system of rotaional presidency recognising the six geopolitical zone structure(experts can work on this and come out with something good).

Nigeria can be united and work again if Buhari can be wise.

Dear Op,

From which credible poll did you read that Nigerians have lost trust in the President? The truth is the people who voted him knows the rot of 16 years wouldn't be cleaned in 2 years.

How would you claim you trust someone and still give his opponent over 82% of your votes?


It's better you say the people of SS/SE don't trust him. They never lost trust in PMB coz they never trusted him.

[size=20pt] If there is one thing he must do, he should render an unreserved apology to the south-south and southeastern States for his goof involving the 5% and 97% ill statement . He should thereafter stabilize world oil prices and make the naira equal to the dollar as he promised during campaign.[/size]

There's nothing Buhari can do to regain the trust of Nigerians.

Do you know how many people have died of hunger within his 14 months tenure? What about the uncountable people killed in religious violence and the people who were killed by his fulani herdsmen? Can he bring those dead people back to life?


Buhari has failed and can never control the damages caused by him.

Hmmm....

Well there are three things that Buhari needs to do for Nigeria. NEEDS TO DO.

1.Tell Nigerians the truth, that we are a broke nation largely because the basis of our economy is selling things whose price we do not control.
(Or tell me....since when did traders have prices of their goods fixed by someone else?).


2.Cut all spending...except in power and education, and run an austerity government, even if oil prices run up to 150 dollars per barrel...so that we can go industrial in ten years (Also pass laws allowing states to keep the power they generate).

3.Increase taxes so that we have money to keep education free, oil subsidy, etc.

Sorry Nigerians.....but flattery is not governance.
