Nigerians had high expectations when the President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressive Congress, (APC) in a keenly contested poll chased out the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from power after years of control of political structures around the nation in 2015.

The elections which were hotly contested between the indefatigable Army General and the rather unassuming but controversial Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan had all the characteristics of a battle royale that tore the nation right down the middle. It took a historical gentlemanly call from Jonathan conceding defeat to his political foe to douse tension and avert what would have been a violent catastrophic crisis that may have sealed the country’s fate.

Enter President Muhammadu Buhari who rode on the mantra of change to a traumatized citizenry who had ostensibly been battered by the impunity that reigned supreme in the PDP years. The promised change was to open a new chapter in the arena of security, economy and fight against corruption, pedestals on which the tough talking General endeared himself to millions of Nigerians on the streets.

Two years down the line it seems the nation is yet to reach the promised land of plenty and prosperity promised by the party in power.

Aljazirah Nigeria opines that much more than ever the much-touted change is yet to arrive.

Although the nation is experiencing a breather in the area of insecurity in the North East, with large swathes of territories invaded by Boko Haram terrorists recovered by our gallant troops, it is not yet time to celebrate.

It seems that much more deadlier and blood-thirsty herdsmen have taken over and are dealing massive destruction to communities across the South east, middle belt and other communities across the nation. Hundreds of defenseless men, women and children have been killed in their beds for no sane reason.
