IN MY PERSONAL CAPACITY, I SHALL CALL ON PRESIDENT BUHARI TO DO TH NEEDFUL ABOUT NNAMDI KANU.
It is now more than 6 months since Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and detained. In the interest of fairness and expediency, let us not worry about whether it was right for the Government of Nigeria to arrest Kanu when it did in October of last year. Also, let us brush aside the circumstances of Kanu's detention and the clearly abusive and unusual legal processes pursued against him. Let us just look forward and try to get it right starting from hereon.


In view of all that has happened in Nigeria since the past one year, it is really necessary for this Government to take a deep look into things and recalibrate its policies for and approaches to various national problems. The chain of events in Nigeria since President Buhari came to power calls for caution and humility in governance. It is clear that this Government could not sustain those buoyant promises of massive social change it promised during the election. We know that it is not really that the Government does not want to do such great things and write its name on stone as the great watershed moment in Nigeria's political history. The truth is that the Government is not capable. It is lacking so badly in competence, imagination and intellect.

The short history of one year in office ought to have taught President Buhari and his crew an unforgettable lesson in modesty. They must be prepared by now to swallow their pride and face the reality with sincerity. And that reality suggests that the country needs to return to the drawing table and refashion its priorities, as well as its methods and language of communication. It has to now be a language of accommodation, humility and realism. The language of war, whether it is against corruption or indiscipline, must change to the language of understanding and desire to pursue change in a realistic manner.

Yes, Buhari must swallow his pride. He could not appoint ministers in 5 months in office. He could not have a budget in one year in office. He could not organize his party in such a manner that its members would work together for a common political purpose. You still have allegations of internal conflict and backbiting among party members. He could not show the world that he is in control of the national economy. The more war he fights against corruption, the more Nigerians hear about secret recruitment by Central Bank, and the padding of numbers in the failed budget. The more he claims to have defeated Boko Haram, the more herdsmen take the place of Boko Haram as a terror group. The more you try to trust President Buhari, the more you realize it is too huge a risk to trust him. The economy continues to slide and there is a massive erosion of confidence in the polity and government.

All the problems for which this President condemned and ridiculed the former government are far worse now than one year ago. The queues for fuel at petrol stations are longer now than ever. The power supply recorded the worst in history with a zero rate generated on a particular date recently. Corruption has not abated. Human right abuses are worse. Insecurity is higher. The state of infrastructure is worse now than before. Indeed, it will not be out of place to describe this regime as having failed, even so early in its 4-year term.

With all this happening......http://www.controversialada.com/2016/05/nigeria-in-trouble-as-dpa-decides-to.html
