In his no-holds-barred interview on ARISE Television, broadcast on June 10, 2021, President Muhammadu Buhari, who is also the Commander in-Chief-of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a position that he ascended since May 29, 2015, basically responded to the most critical questions that have been boggling the mind of most Nigerians. The anxiety is owed to the fact that President Buhari’s disinterest in holding media interviews as evidenced by the fact that the past six years or so of his leadership represents an unusually extended period of time that Nigerians have been unable to hear directly from their president.

Professor Ibrahim Gambari is one of the greatest diplomats that have shaped the international status of Nigeria since independence. But restricting his influence to the diplomatic circle will be a disservice to a man whose towering status straddles many spheres of life. He is simply an enigma venerated home and abroad.
Away from his global shuttles as an envoy with multiple portfolios, he berthed in Aso Villa, Abuja, on May 13, last year, armed with the Presidency’s most strategic task: Chief of Staff to the President. As he marks his one year in office, the reflections since his time in the saddle will be an admixture of the pleasant and the not so pleasant. His stint has never been a stroll in the park, and may not be in the near future unless the insecurity pervading the nation is nipped. But men of steel are produced at times like this.
A seeming spirited attempt by the Nigerian Army to downplay the Fulanisation agenda that is stoking the fire of the deepening division in Nigeria, does not appear to be dousing the security crisis in the country.
Senior citizen, Chief Robert Clarke, is even warning that Nigeria might not survive the next six months.

“Many things are happening and I swear by my father’s grave if care is not taken Nigeria will collapse in six months time,” the senior lawyer said while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
