Reflections on the shoot-on-sight order by the president

BACKGROUND
Not a few people have complained about what had become the silence of Mr President for a long time, especially over issues where his voice should be heard loudly.
Over a long time, in matters of national concern, people of all categories have repeatedly called on Mr President to speak; most of the time, he did not oblige the call. At a point, his handlers argued that Mr President is entitled to his style, which left many people wondering whether what we have in Nigeria is a constitutional democracy, founded on the principle of accountability of public office holders to members of the public. Even the way the invitation of the President to address the House of Representatives on the security situation, which was once accepted, was shortly thereafter turned down, left more questions, than answers in the mind of many.
