Like many Nigerians demoralized by President Muhammadu Buhari's poor handling of the country's affairs, Tunde Bakare is done counting on him to bring about the needed progress for Nigeria. But unlike the avalanche of disappointments that Buhari's lackluster performance had evoked, that of Mr. Bakare suggested a total loss of confidence in the capacity of the president. How? It was too glaring to be missed in a State of the Nation address by Mr. Bakare made recently, which he titled 'The conspicuous handwriting on the wall'. The serving overseer of The Citidel Global Community Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly, didn't only agree that Nigeria is in a critical state and that Buhari has done little or nothing to change the tide but ended up stirring a question that agitates the minds of many Nigerians.
"I am compelled to speak out because the state of the nation does not represent the Buhari I knew when we took the solemn journey towards rebuilding Nigeria."
In all reality, Nigeria is in a terrible scenario, however what is more unlucky is that the president seems to be missing in movement or clueless on what to do. Perhaps this is why Bakare was aghast and surprise if Buhari continues to be the identical guy he joined at the price tag for government in 2011 with the desire of building a higher Nigeria.
Though it sounds unfathomable given the prevailing state of the state, you can rarely blame Bakare for searching truly burdened. When Buhari was rejected by way of Nigerians in the 2011 presidential ballot , he wept bitterly on countrywide television and created the impact that Nigerians lost an opportunity to have the high-quality man inside the saddle.
That impression changed into leveraged on in 2015 and ultimately convinced Nigerians to vote for Buhari, thinking that he is the answer to collection of demanding situations going through the u . S .. But six years inside the saddle and Buhari has not best did not meet expectancies however watched things go worse than they have been before he came to office.
So, what ought to have long past wrong? That is a splendid question but the key to an answer is understanding who exactly Buhari is. I mean the Buhari outdoor the photo that the media donned on him within the construct-as much as the 2015 election that made him the darling of the electorates who had rejected him on 3 one of a kind elections.
That was why Bakare's declaration were given my attention and out of curiosity, have a query for him– which Buhari did he(Bakare) realize. Because having an answer will offer a clean attitude on why the country of the nation has been quite sobering, and each passing day continues to provide an uninspiring outlook for the united states.
As a retired military standard, the general notion became that he can be able to remedy the u . S . A .'s insecurity problem and bring about stability. But that has now not simplest became out to be a incorrect guess, however the risk of lack of confidence has also spread to hitherto peaceful regions and our schools are no longer safe because of incessant kidnappings. Also, the anti-corruption toga has proven to be in name simplest and no longer simply put to apply given the consolation the ones facing corruption trial now find in Buhari's celebration.
Ethnic fault traces have visible a demanding surge within the last few years and more than whenever since the civil conflict, the sound of secessionists is a good deal louder. On the economic front, the president has performed a horrible process as shown by using the regular rise in inflation charge and an increasing number of loss of Naira's fee. Talk approximately rule of regulation and human rights adherence and Buhari's report is not encouraging in any respect.
Wherever you look, the information are simply no longer what Nigerians had was hoping for and you can not but simply be disenchanted. If Bakare is now announcing this wasn't the Buhari he knew, it will help a lot if he can inform us what we do not know. Perhaps which could help us understand the premise of his disasters and guide Nigerians in future consideration for president.
Of direction, we are caught with Buhari for at least every other 25 months or so, and something Bakare says can also have very little impact. However, telling Nigerians the Buhari he knew will get to the bottom of a thriller on whether or not the president is practically no longer in charge or he turned into just incapable of making things work.
