As the country plunges deeper into chaos, Nigerians are watching Politicians and the ruling class actively causing, partaking and fuelling anarchy in Nigeria.
Defections to the APC
I was extremely amused when I heard President Buhari’s comment that Zamfara Governor, Dr Bello Matawalle, defected to the APC (All Regressives Congress) because of their exemplary performance in governance. With all due respect to the President, we all know that the performance of the APC is far from glowing, and the reason that Dr Matawalle defected is based on nothing else but self-interest – to secure his position as Governor for a second term, having got his first term by virtue of the courts. I just pray that all the curses that he had rained on himself in 2019 should he defect from the PDP (People’s Destruction Party), do not affect the people of Zamfara State who already have more than their fair share of troubles, with the insecurity that has pervaded the State!
Excerpts of President Buhari’s Interview With Arise TV: On Infrastructure
Last Thursday, as I was listening to some of the highlights of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Arise TV interview of June 10, I did agree with him when he said that we really should ask previous Governments what they did with all the oil revenue that Nigeria earned, especially at the times when it was at its highest, and why they did not plough all that revenue into providing some of the basic infrastructure which Nigeria is in such dire need of. President Buhari said there had been a lot of wastage in the past – I concur, but his administration is also guilty of almost the same level of wastage.
