Lagos based lawyer, Ebun-Olu-Adegboruwa has
condemned the inauguration speech by President
Muhammadu Buhari, saying it was illusory
and vague.
The lawyer in a statement issued on Friday and
made available to newsmen argued that President
Buhari, in his speech failed to touch certain issues
in his address, and also failed to show how
certain problems he identified would be tackled,
hence falling short of a presidential speech for an
inauguration.

Read full statement below:
THE PRESIDENT’S INAUGURAL SPEECH IS
ILLUSORY AND VAGUE

I have read the Inaugural Speech of the President
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Major-General
Muhammadu Buhari (Retd.), delivered immediately after his swearing in. It is gratifying that General Buhari has vowed to tackle the rot in the power sector, even though he did not give any direction on how to do that. By and large, it is my view that the President has not addressed the real issues affecting our lives in
Nigeria. It would seem that the President is still on the
soap box, whereby promises and promises and
intentions, are the order. He is the President of
Nigeria now and my expectation was that since
March 28, 2015, when he won the election, when
he received the certificate of return from INEC,
when he got assurances from Dr. Goodluck
Jonathan, that his election would not be
contested, General Buhari would have outlined his
main policy direction. But alas, that has not
happened today.
For instance, the President did not say anything
on his foreign policy directive, on issues relating
to global warming and climate change, the
violence in the Middle East and the general global
economic downturn. Also, the President was silent
on the mode of tackling corruption, which indeed
has been the main thrust of his electioneering
campaigns; he was silent on the collapsing
aviation sector, he kept mute on the unpaid
salaries of millions of workers across the land,
the huge debts that the Jonathan administration
has bequeathed to him and indeed the main
means of generating revenue, to run his
government, apart from oil. General Buhari gave
no hint on the mode of reform of the judicial system and the administration of justice generally, the expected policy statement on NNPC did not come, and
even the Boko Haram insurgency, to which the
President devoted most of his speech, ended up in
a policy disaster, of cause after effect; in that the
President will only know the cause, origin and
perspectives of the criminal organisation, only
after he has succeeded in killing them all.
In all, the Inaugural Speech became another
campaign promise, a general rendition of
statements of intention, without action. It
was too vague and illusory, like a speech being
delivered by a novice in power. This is the
President who has ruled this country as a Head
of State, through a coup detat in 1983, and one
that has sought to rule this nation since 2003, so
he had all the time in the world, to have mapped
out his cause of action and strategies. This is
surely not the speech expected from our GMB.
In the coming days however, we expect more
concrete reforms and ACTION.
God bless Nigeria.

Gud observation. Any Buharist wit a superior argument to defend dis policy disaster?

Diz is what happens when haterz are fed-up. They will keep hating till they get admitted

President Buhari knows action speaks louder than words. Nigerians are already fed up with too many words and little actions backing them up.

The time now is for FEW WORDS AND MORE ACTION.

A lot of corrections need to be done in this country under a short time.

VERY HAPPY NIGERIANS LISTENED TO THE WORDINGS OF MY MONIKER!

This charge and bail lawyer again. Was he expecting a sermon as speech or do you expect PMB to give a 2-3 hours speech.

Methinks all these first to criticize attention seekers really lack sound judgment. He should have stated why PMB's policy on boko haram is a disaster. Silly lawyer who has not fully understood the Nigerian constitution yet, trying to criticize the president's decision in a field he has no idea about.
