‘Emilokan Baba-go-slow’ Obasanjo Address Tinubu

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said Nigeria is speedily becoming a bad case under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu, who he referred to as Emilokan and “Baba-go-slow”.

He said chaos, insecurity, conflict, discord, division, disunity, depression, youth restiveness, confusion, violence, and underdevelopment have become permanent occurrences in this dispensation.


The former President, who said this while delivering his keynote address at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum, Yale University New Haven Connecticut, USA, said Nigeria currently suffers from state capture.
Obasanjo spoke on the theme: Leadership Failure and State Capture in Nigeria.

His words: ”As we can see and understand, Nigeria’s situation is bad. The more the immorality and corruption of a nation, the more the nation sinks into chaos, insecurity, conflict, discord, division, disunity, depression, youth restiveness, confusion, violence, and underdevelopment.

That’s the situation mostly in Nigeria in the reign of Baba-go-slow and Emilokan. The failing state status of Nigeria is confirmed and glaringly indicated and manifested for every honest person to see through the consequences of the level of our pervasive corruption, mediocrity, immorality, misconduct, mismanagement, perversion, injustice, incompetence and all other forms of iniquity. But yes, there is hope.’’

CORRUPTION

The former president further described state capture as, “ one of the most pervasive forms of corruption, a situation where powerful individuals, institutions, companies, or groups within or outside a country use corruption to shape a nation’s policies, legal environment, and economy, to benefit their private interests”.

“State capture is not always overt and obvious. It can also arise from the more subtle close alignment of interests between specific business and political elites through family ties, friendships, and the intertwined ownership of economic assets”, he said.

“What is happening in Nigeria right before our eyes is state capture. The purchase of National assets by political elites – and their family members at bargain prices, the allocation of national resources – minerals, land, and even human resources – to local, regional, and international actors. It must be prohibited and prevented through local and international laws.

“Public institutions such as the legislature, the executive, the judiciary, and regulatory agencies both at the federal and local levels are subject to capture. As such, state capture can broadly be understood as the disproportionate and unregulated influence of interest groups or decision-making processes, where special interest groups manage to bend state laws, policies, and regulations”.

He, however, quoted Chinua Achebe’s ‘The Trouble with Nigeria,’ saying: “The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership. There is nothing wrong with the Nigerian character. There is nothing wrong with Nigerian land, climate, water, air, or anything else. The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness or inability of its leaders to rise to the responsibility, to the challenge of personal example which are the hallmarks of true leadership.”

Even Lazy Almijiri under bridge for Kano metropolis sniffing glue dey wait for Tinubu, so I won’t blame u Lazy minded Thing & your counterparts a bunch also for not been able to help yourself.

Tinubu should stay the course. He should speedily reinvest the proceeds of the subsidies removal as follows:
1. AGRICULTURE-He should finetune the Anchor Borrower Scheme such that payment by the Anchor, for farm produce, should be made to NIRSAL, which should now be an Agency of Fed Min of Agriculture instead of CBN.
In this regard, loan defaulting would be drastically reduced if not eliminated
2. EDUCATION- In addition to the Students Loan Scheme, free textbooks ,at all levels,to be borrowed and returned at the end of every session, based on NIN.
3. NPower Program should be finetuned, such that apprentices should be attached to accredited and assisted workshops with proper assistance and monitoring.
4. CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER- Beneficiaries should be organized into groups and take turns to invest the lump sum on monthly basis, based on the enrollment of their children into schools.
5. FREE SCHOOL MEALS- should be extended to cover up to primary six by FG, while the state governments take care of JSS.

This one nobi go slow, but emilokan, Baba go-backwards
