Is President Buhari serious at all?

Many people know that President Muhammadu Buhari is incapable of managing the Nigerian economy and when he takes some economic decisions, you must wonder, what is wrong with this man, is he thinking or taking the right advises?

How do you replace the Economic Management Team (EMT) with the Economic Advisory Council (ECA)? This shows that this man lacks the capacity to manage Nigeria.

The EMT is presided over by the Vice President with key stakeholders in attendance EVERY WEEK. The people who sit in the meeting are Minister of Finance, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Information and Culture, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, Director-General of the Budget Office, Director-General of the Debt Management Office and Director-General of the National Bureau of Statistics.

These are key stakeholders in the Nigerian government and these are people who understand the problems and can proffer a solution. Plus, the EMT reports to the President.

How do you replace them with a team of eight persons who meet once a month and cannot influence the economy in any way? Remember the ECA is just advisory.

Remember President Olusegun Obasanjo once said, that the role of an adviser is to advise, it is up to him to take it or not.

Buhari just crippled Nigeria’s economy with this. It’s a shame on him.
