The Buhari government is plagued by series of accusations of conspiracy, fraud and incompetence. The talk of change that won the grand game in our heart is now being referred to as the biggest lie of the century. Notwithstanding we must not lose hope, we have an obligation to at least have a modicum of interest in the political affairs that govern our great country Nigeria.

What could be the answer to the Nigerian problem? One can’t help but wonder if indeed a third term for president Buhari is the answer. A disagreeable scenario I admit. Logically enough the government had suggested it, logically most analyst agree. Analysts believe that it will take about 10 years for the many policies, infrastructures, intervention, and investment to ripen and will change his appraisal.

Before taking office in 2015, President Buhari campaigned on a promise of delivering economic growth of about 10 percent annually but the realities of global market collided with that promise. By 2016 the country has already slipped into a deep recession. Unfortunately, the indication had always been there the former government failed to plan for the rainy day, meaning the country had no buffer when oil prices slumped. What most people don’t know is that the Nigerian economy has grown by 1.93 percent the external reserves and excess crude oil account has increased exponentially, but the rapid population growth has prevented the growth from showing.

Many will say the president Buhari government has not been good to the average citizen but the word “good” as an adjective is subjective and a function of perception. Whatever opinion anyone might have with the Buhari style or approach very few will dispute his integrity and sincerity and that is why he is virtually irreplaceable. It is democracy and has a term limit, but wouldn’t it be tragic for Nigeria to miss the opportunity to allow him to finish the great work he has started
.
His style of governance seem to bother a lot of people because they are used to flourishing under corruption, there were never any good policies in place by the former regimes. The truth is president Buhari inherited a failing economy and the truth will be said that a lot of his policies have been bitter pills to swallow but it’s for our own good. Nigeria cannot be completely reformed in eight years, with this in mind the right thing to do will be to give the president more time for him to prove himself.

It might sound corny but the night is indeed darkest before the dawn. What Nigeria is experiencing is a socioeconomic change in how we handle money; it is evident that the abundant economic leakages of the past administration have been mostly blocked by the Buhari government.
