Acephalous Aso rock and Nemesis of Nepotism.

I was listening to President Buhari's response to activities of the cabal in Aso Rock headed by Mamman Daura at Osasu show,  I cannot but advice President Buhari to take stocks of happenings in Aso Rock in order to come with terms. Except Mr President want Nigerians to believe that all misruling under his watch got his approvals.

Dear President you are not in charge, your wife has made it opened and secretary to government of federation has attested to be one of them. It is evident that the time you are spending to patch your health in Aso Rock and outside Nigeria is denying you some avenues to address issues of governance. Whenever you are indisposed, somebody is acting for you unofficially.

If you are truly in charge, 2016 budget would not have been messed up, stolen, replaced by your aides on NASS matters and padded by rats has alleged by Professor Olaleye, the honorable minister of health.  If truly you are in charge, Abba Kyari, your Chief of Staff won't have been on the board of NNPC. Your plagiarised speech on change begins with me won't have been written and approved by your nephew.

If you are in charge, you would have been listening to 12 lawyers in your cabinet to avoid abuse of rule of law and misconstrued of constitution on Zarkazy and Co. 
If you are in charge Amaechi surrogates(Semanantri and Dakuku) won't have occupied NIMASA and NDDC. If you are in charge, Buratai, Danbamzzau, Kyari, Amaechi and Adebayo Shittu would have been relieved of their jobs by now. Remember Stella Odua, Bat Nanji, and Phillip Odimegwu of Jonathan's cabinet.
Adebayo Shittu won't have collected NCC fine from MTN, Buratai's savings won't have saved his multi billion property in Dubai.

If you are in charge, Fulani herdsmen killer squad that is holding sway won't have been tagged as foreigners. If you are in charge, religious right of shittes wouldn't have been jeopardized by sitting governors. If you are truly in charge, DSS won't have been on operation sting on judiciary.

My dear President, what nepotism will cost your government will soon be more threatening and unbearable for our nascent democracy. You cannot put your brother from Daura as head of a sensitive agency like DSS and expect professional ethics. They will go any length to satisfy your body language at detriment of your government. Also, this apply to all fronts you have coated with nepotism. To be candid, your government is fantastically nepotistic and this is resulting to dictatorship and tyrannical misdemeanor.

My candid advice is that it is better now than never to retrace your government steps to avoid political and socioeconomic hurricanes that can turn Nigerians against you.

Nigeria, I hail thee.

Someone somewhere wrote

[b]"The 1999 Constitution explicitly stipulates in Chapter 14 subsection 3 that the “composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall…reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few states or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups…” Buhari is breaching this with impunity in his appointments. Apart from this, Nigeria’s plural setting demands that no group or ethnic nationality is seen as too domineering in critical areas of governance.
“Buhari should be told that sectionalism and nepotism are also acts of corruption. You do not wage war against financial corruption while indulging in sectional and sectarian favouritism. It is self-defeating; a veritable weak link that the formidable ranks of those fighting back furiously to preserve the existing corrupt order are already capitalising on. The President simply does not need this. Many are willing to concede that he is only demonstrating political naiveté; now, however, is the time to radically change tactics.The country is in a bad shape, and our President need to wake up and work. And he shouldn't forget to put the 5% in his agenda"[/b]
