Ezekwesili Slams Buhari’s Comment On IG’s Weight, Says It’s A Joke On Insecurity by titiloyeblog(op): 4:53pm On May 06, 2019

A former Minister of Education and human rights activist, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari for what she referred to as a “callous joke about insecurity.”

Ezekwesili was reacting to a video in which the President had equated the dwindling weight of the Acting Inspector General of Police, Muhammad Adamu, to his working hard at securing the nation.

After he arrived the country from his 10-day private visit on Sunday, a reporter had asked the President: “Are we likely to see a different approach in the fight against insecurity, especially kidnapping, which is a big issue now, Sir?”

And the President had responded: “You know, I have just seen the IG, he is… I think he is losing weight; so, I think he is working very hard.”

Ezekwesili took exception to the President’s response, noting that it was a “callous joke about insecurity after ten days of Buhari leaving his country for some opaque private visit.”

In a series of tweets on Monday, Ezekwesili said, “Citizens of every country have the power to determine how their political class can treat them;” noting that, “Until we are collectively ready to end the joke that our political class has turned Nigeria into, they’ll continue.”

She said she had frankly decided to never again waste her voice on a political class that has no redeeming prospect of caring about their citizens, “But I could not hold back at this callous joke about insecurity after ten days of Muhammadu Buhari leaving his country for some opaque private visit.”

“And this is supposed to be funny? A President Buhari making a joke of the daily drenching of the country in the blood of his citizens who are killed daily without any consequence while he bears the title Commander-in-Chief?”

She then warned, “Carry on. Someday the citizens will be ready.”

The sooner we realise that Nigeria is a failed project and will never work ,the better for us . You expect people who do not value education to be the everlasting leaders . See were we are as a country. Division would be the best solution for progress.

I was saddened by that joke this morning

Imagine the cry of helplessness as machete tears down the flesh of innocent women and children and the Commander in Chief is making a joke out of it

Buhari media cow, how markethuh

People are dying on a daily basis, the economy is down!! couples are selling their children, your presidency is cracking jokes undecided

How animalistic can a president behuh

The pure water they threw on him in Ogun-State will be a child's play!!!

ericsmith:
See as you dey lose weight daily over buhari matter .... bitterness & pain won't let some of you put ur brain to work anymore. losing weight in all ramification is synonymous to hardwork. where is the joke dumbasses
Take it as my form of revolution

My contribution to humanity

While you're at it why not ask Buhari to do the right thing so that I can put on weighthuh

Since he sees losing weight as hard work maybe he will acknowledge and practise all we've being saying!

from the answer the president looks relaxed and undisturbed.
can u imagine treating the security of Nigeria's on basis of mere assumption, what if the inspector general is passing through private life stress
I think everybody should go back to there region and form regional security force cos if u read history of jihad in Africa, u will know our military are waging a holy war and there religion supports it, that's the plain truth
