BUHARI ADMINISTRATION: A REGRETTABLE MISTAKE!

One of the virtue of a real man is his ability to accept his mistakes and wrongdoing. All along I have always criticize government policies and not personality or administration (at least not half way), but at the junction with the police ban on 2face protest, I make bold to say I regret ever campaigning or voting for president Mohammadu Buhari. It should be noted that I have no iota of regret Nigerians replace Goodluck Jonathan, it's the best thing we have done for ourselves in decade, but I regret he was replaced by PMB.

BUHARI’S CHANGE AND THE PDP ENCULTURATED CIVIL SERVICE

Indeed 16 years is a long time in the life of a nation. You can transform a nation in 16 years but it can take a lesser time to destroy it. Nations cities like Singapore and Dubai were transformed within 15 years. Singapore was a poor nation and Dubai was only a desert 17 years ago. But you can imagine the amazing transformation they have gone through in 16 last years.

But while these nations were being transformed, Nigeria in the last 15 years was being destroyed by a group of money and material thirsty criminals who not only plundered its wealth but also destroyed the institutional fabrics required for nation’s development. About a 90 percent of those who governed Nigeria at various levels in the last 16 years under the PDP acted like vampires. If you seat to think of what they did to Nigeria, you will surely cry.

THE MODERN ART OF GOVERNANCE AND OGBENI RAUF AREGBESOLA OF APC IN THE STATE OF OSUN

It is a popular norm, globally acknowledged and practiced by developed nations, that political parties serve as an avenue where values and qualities are discovered which, when discovered, are fully utilized to nurture the interests of the people and achieve a profitable end for the future of the concerned political entity.

The engine through which these values and qualities, if discovered, could be utilized to better the lot of the society is governance while the oil which lubricates the engine of governance is a capable and competent administrator.

Ogbeni Aregbesola, who is honoured by the Business World Magazine, amongst several others, as the “Most Innovative Governor in Nigeria”, has proven himself as an astute administrator with much difference. Armed with his innate spirit of kindness, people’s oriented programmes, and progressive policies, Ogbeni has greatly transformed the old Osun state - where official prodigality, administrative irresponsibility, self enrichment, people’s impoverishment of high level, educational decadence, economic bastardization and ridiculous degree of misgovernance was the order of the day - to the present State of Osun which is being administered by governance of belief rather than incredulity; governance of hope rather than despondency; governance of light rather than darkness; governance of truth rather than mendacity; governance of prudence rather than prodigality; governance of care rather than abandonment; governance of sincerity rather than deceit; governance of decency rather than decadence; governance of egalitarianism rather than god-fatherism; governance of amiability rather than unfriendliness; governance of altruism rather than egoism and; governance of true democracy rather than autocracy.

To show their disrespect for the law and public conscience, they went on bashing innocent drivers as well as smashing and setting fire to buses. This is a clear barbaric and primitive characteristic of our military. They burnt BRT buses worth more than 100 millions naira.

Don't plunge Nigeria into crisis over 2015 ambition - APC warns Jonathan

The All Progressives Congress, APC has condemned the violence unleashed on peaceful members of the party at Ado Ekiti on Sunday by the police, apparently acting out a script written by the Presidency
and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to foment trouble in the South-west ahead of the 2015 general elections.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party put the blame for the violence squarely on the shoulders of the Presidency and the PDP, wondering why the police, who are paid by taxpayers to maintain law and order, would turn their weapons on the same defenceless citizens they are paid to protect.

International Community Must Intervene: Jonathan Government Not Capable Of Countering The Menace Of Violent Islamic Sect - Soyinka

The government of President Goodluck Jonathan was not capable of countering the menace of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, says the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka

Speaking on Amanpour on CNN, Soyinka submitted that the international community must intervene in what he called the bestiality of the insurgents when responding the question of the host, Christine Amanpour on how the insurgency in the country could be tackled.

“This menace has to be internationalised; every country has to be involved in finding solutions to the problem. It is not a Nigerian problem but the problem of the whole world. From the activities of the group and the response of the government since this madness started, it is clear that this government cannot handle this problem alone,” he said.

Soyinka accused both the past and the present governments in the country of living in self denial, by believing that they could negotiate or “appeal” to “murderers and killers” to stop their activities.
