They call it as they see it. There's no point confessing the existence of what isn't. That may be for spiritual matters because of our faith in the power of the Almighty God but governance anywhere deals with cold, hard facts n figures not wishful thinking or wistful belief in what isn't.

Of course we didn't get here overnight. It's been 18 long months and counting. That's more than enough time to bring about a positive or negative impact lookin back from where u started. Unfortunately, rather than a positive, upward swing, it's spiralling downwards and Chief Daftus and crew just stand akimbo and ask why everything wasn't perfect for them! If the reason for their election wasn't to improve what already was, I don't know what other reason they're there for.

It may not be all rosy because it's an ongoing process but at least in 18 months, there ought to be some signs and startups. You can't keep havin a downward decline for more than 1yr in a position and not have your competence called into question.
