 THE PRESIDENTIAL BROADCAST

 - - Evasive, Illogical.

By Olugbenga Taiwo.

The October 1st 2021 independence day broadcast to Nigerians by President Muhammadu Buhari was evasive, unpopular. It fails to address critical issues affecting the nation.

The broadcast sidelined the mood of the nation, unable to douse tension. Instead, read out unsubstantiated allegations against some people.

The broadcast alluded commissioning of the Modular Refinery in Imo state & others in the pipeline as one of his successes. 

The fact is, those Refineries are privately Owned. Besides, their production in future would Not reduce the high prices of Petroleum products in the country, this is how it concerns common man. 

His broadcast  dashed the hope of people purchasing petrol @ N162/litre, Domestic cooking Gas at N600/Kg, Kerosene @ N350/litre, etc.

It would be recalled that President Buhari led regime promised Nigerians Six (6) Refineries. 

More than six (6) years,  there is none on ground. But Nigeria's resources & foreign loans was promptly deployed to build Modern  Refinery in Niger Republic. And back it up with Railway system from Nigeria to Maradi (Niger Republic).

Surprisingly, Maradi is a rusted town with sparce infrastructures,  that can boast of just one University. 

Such huge investment would have been of better returns & benefit in Kaduna, Enugu or Lagos, Nigeria.

The broadcast praised his government on improvement in portable water supply. The Federal Ministry of Water Resources should come out with justification for the erroneous statement. The nation is currently witnessing higher rate in Cholera outbreak than pre - 2015 administrations'. Cholera is a water borne disease. Isn't it?

Perhaps Presidential palaver on Twitter should be laid to rest. The Twitter subscribers have moved on with their businesses on other Apps. This is Technology Age.

 Twitter is a privately Owned Global Organization, declaring huge profits with/without Nigeria's patronage.

 So, its unlikely the Organization would bend her rules of engagement because of Nigeria. 

Did you hear this in his broadcast :

"More food are being produced in the country, the middle men are responsible for food scarcity . . ."

One is disturbed, to enquire if the President lives in Nigeria or in the Moon.

He claims to be unaware of the Herdsmen/Farmers clashes in Benue state ( The food basket of the nation), Plateau, Oyo North, Kaduna South & other parts of the country.

Who dares move outside the cities to farmlands in Borno, Yobe, Taraba, Niger Zamfara, Katsina (President's home state). 

Till date, Insurgents still demand for tax, before farmers are allowed to their farmlands in some states in the North.

If truly there is increase in food supply, the law of Demand & Supply will manifest. The price of food would fall as supply is more than supply.  But here, reverse is the case. And it gets worsen daily.

The President's speech on increase in food supply is therefore illogical. 

The Minister of Agriculture needs  to give account of the Billions of Naira voted for his Ministry.

The hunger bites people more than Bandits & Boko Haram 

If The President fails to indict MIYETTI ALLAH, Herdsmen, Boko Haram, ISWAP, responsible for the woes in the country, Analyst are not surprised. 

Why?

Six (6) Terrorists Sponsors were exposed, tried in Law Court in United Arabs Emirate (UAE).

The Buhari Regime refuses to publicly shame them nor expose them accordingly. 

Is the President an accomplice?

But his government is tenaciously hunting Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho. Clamped down on Nnamdi Kanu, refused to bring him to court for trial. 

What an abuse of Human Rights?

Thanks to the internet.  While the President was at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA),  in United States, miscreants, jobless men were hired to carry placards supporting his regime. What a deceitful act by our noble men in power in Nigeria.

There are miscreants, touts, layabouts, jobless people everywhere as witnessed in US. But their Government yearly provides & implements for them in their Budgets. 

The reverse is the case in Nigeria. 

Budgets in Nigeria are structured to satisfy the ego of the political ruling class.

 The 774,000 jobs earmarked in 2021 Budget is yet to see the light of the day.

There are over 20 million unemployed youth. So, Banditry, Insurgency, Abduction & criminal activities would continue to rise. Devil finds work for idle hands.

Get this right Mr President, Nigeria's unity is negotiable.

Husband & wife, friends, business associates, groups, etc. sit down to negotiate their co - existence. So a country with diverse cultures, religions, languages with about 250 million people Must negotiate their unity. This country is Not a conquered territory of any ethnic group.

The reality is, the Southern Region of Nigeria is fed up with Baby Napkin, Feeding Bottle Style of Federalism.

The Baby at 61 refuses to Wean & come of age.

The Southern Regions hands of progress is drawn backward.

Nigeria can co - exist as United Regions of Nigeria (URN). Independent Regions, with Common Centre.

Resource control shall be order of the day.

All the Regions have abundant Natural Resources to make her great.

In conclusion, the President's speech Writers, Special Advisers, Cabinet Members, & others at the corridor of power are economical with the truth, about the reality in the country.

They are beclouded, blindfolded by their loyalty to the man - Muhammadu Buhari, instead of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 

This is the reason Minister Lai Mohammed would praise President Buhari as the Messiah & the Best No 1 citizen the country has ever produced.

If Nigeria is to become greater than any individual or occupant of the Presidential Villa. The Constitution & its operating Institutions must be reviewed & strengthened.

Strong Institutions include mandatory laws, on Welfare Programmes, Health, Education, Security, Housing etc.  to the people, by any elected President or Governor, irrespective of his/her political affiliation.

The current Constitution would Not change the Leadership lackadaisical, lack lustre administrations even if Southerner or Youth takes over power.

Dynamic Constitution produces  dynamic leaderships, that would be espoused to the developmental breakthroughs of the country.

L  A. S. T    L. I. N. E

----------------------------------

UNICEF announced that over 300,000 children from the North East lost their lives in the last 12 years.

I asked myself, how many of them are  children of a Governor, Senator, Minister, etc. Children of common man is slaughtered, sacrificed over Boko Haram revolt. But Dynamic leadership would have foreseen & avert the disaster ahead.

 Children are leaders of tomorrow. But our tomorrow is now in jeopardy, hanging in the sky.

Let's pray God would prevent future disasters, provides the people of the North East the fortitude to bear the losses. Amen!!!
