Just days ago, we all witnessed the open broad daylight operation by terrorist bandits on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway. We saw videos of corpses. Law abiding Nigerians laid to waste by these bandits that Sheikh Gumi and Garba Shehu speak about with so much love.

Nothing has been said by the Buhari administration about that travesty. No words of comfort offered to citizens. Nothing to reassure the public about the government’s efforts to secure that vital road that connects the Northwest to the Federal Capital Territory.

And while a shell shocked nation was looking for direction, the first public outing that Garba Shehu gave after that particular gruesome incident was to tell Nigerians that “Buhari deserves credit for tackling insecurity”. The same Nigerians who just saw their fellow citizens slaughtered like goats by bandit terrorists of whom Sheikh Gumi says we should appease by giving them land and money!

Think about it. That is enough provocation to the Nigerian people to take to the streets. But we are too docile a people.
