6IX FACTS THAT REVEALS BUHARI CANNOT SAFE NIGERIA

Back in 2015 when the political APC juggernaut came with the change mantra, the gegenral mentality was that the country is set for a new course of change for a better time, although the escapades and prodigious spending of the then incumbent government doesnt help the matters at all, all Nigerians young and old have already had enough of the corruption practices that have ruin the country up till that moment. But it’s a shame to realize that even years after the change orchestral was first launched and became the national anthem for good governance, the country has continually plunged into despair and wrought. This is why knightpen, your political fact and reality blogger came up with facts and figures why Buhari is never the messiah the country crave to sail it ship to the promise land. Here, we bring to you six important facts why Buhari isn’t the one to take nigeria there.

(6) HIS OLD AGE

President Muhammadu Buhari is 75yrs old, that shows he’s too old to handle Nigerians problem, although as at the time of elections, he gave an impression that his age is never gonna be an obstacle to function in office, but as time wears down, it was evidence that he’s too old to do anything or find a solid ground to help the country, in some other African countries, we have witnessed the activities of grandfathers and Oldman in the office of the presidency and their actions and activities was and is clearly below per why Nigerians think Buhari’s age isn’t going to be an issue was because of the way he projected himself and what he promise to bring to the country as a former military leader. Clearly, his age has been an hindrance on his service to the nation. His stereotype ways of doing things, his ancient believe and idea of how well to fix an ailing economy, his involvement in a vendetta escapades which has brought him a lot of critiscm so far, due to the longevity of his involvement in the Nigerian ruling system since the eighties all are clear indications of what a old age can do to a man to service or function in office especially a very important office of the president of the country.

5. HIS AILING HEALTH

During the primary election of the party in Lagos, the president stood for seven hours, and everyone was full of praise of how healthy he was, little did anyone know that he was battling with some internal chronic ailments, although it’s difficult to find an Oldman in nigeria that doesn’t have one ailment or the other he’s nursing, but the state of the ailment and its managements goes a long way into surviving it, this is to show that the president has more pressing issues on his hand that’s more critical than salvaging nigeria, since getting into office, he has spent more time on the treatment table abroad than he has spent in the country, such vital signs are to suggests that nigeria isn’t in the very right hand at the moment, it further explains why the electorate have to work at choosing a worthy leader do the cause of changing the country to a better nation and a promised tomorrow.

4. HIS NAIVETY

Firther enwuiries into the lifes of the president and his choice of tackling corruption and saving the Nigerian economy, it further expose the height of naivety by the ways and routine at which he wanted to get things done, his gravest mistake was to allow an inappropriate candidate to emerge as the senate president under his watch, his assertions that he can work with anybody shows how naive he’s on the matter of democracy and governance, it’s imperative to understand that in a democratic governance, there’s are different individuals with different views, it’s clearly important to make his cabinet up with people that has the same believe, mindset, political ideology  so it could be easy to toe the right path, this was his first wrong step and the very one that gave an early indication that he might not be the messiah the count y needs at this time. It’s important to get this assertion wrong, the senate president since getting into office has done a lot in moving the country forward, he has passed more instrumental bills to the betterment and future of the country than anyone who has ever occupied the office, any country of the world would’ve benefitted immensely from his professional delivery of his office duties, it’s just that the senate president and the president are not on the same wave length when it comes to ideas and believe on how to take the country to the promise land. They seems to share different ideas, values and political agenda. Their loggerheads on choices of office occupiers further reinstates this assertions.

3. HIS CHOICE OF CABINET

President Buhari over time has been coming up with nominations that continually put him face to face with the senates disapproval, this is another instrumental assignments that shows and gives a lifeline to a country who seems to be going through the right directions, but in the process whereby more significant importance is placed on things as minimal as choosing the right man to occupy an important office then such governemnt progress could be stalled, there has been the case of incompetencies on the part of his nominees. Like in the case of Meina, Magu and the rest, too much energy and importance are directed into such trivial matters that it takes too much attention so much so that even important decisions and matters are relegated to the backseat just for nominations to take center stages, even offices these individuals are not approved to occupy remains empty thereby creating a vacuum for delivery services. Most importantly, his bigotism and marginal leadership qualities and knwoledge is more responsible for such actions, it was clearly evident that Presisdent Buhari doesn’t posses the Nigerian goe-political knowledge to balance Nigerian delicate and gigantic diversity thereby ending up making appointment that doesn’t represent the country as a whole, rather making appointments from a particular tribe which he’s more familiar with.

2. HIS MILITARY BACKGROUND

Also, his military background have contributed although negatively or positively to President Buhari’s below delivery as per excellence in office as the President of Nigeria, as a former military leader who is desperate to shed his military titles and uniforms, he craved to be perceived as a liberal and democratic leader rather than a brutal, no nonse military dictator he was in his initial spell as the President in the eighties. Therefore he seems to be making a very pivotal mistakes in his attempt to be a liberal and democratic leader.  First, his admittance that he can work with anybody when his preference on the senate leader is. Is a very huge mistake, also, his military training makes him ready to face the corruption and securityissues his country is facing making him too concentrated on those part of governance to a fault. His fight against corruption seems to be turning into a cajoled and highly overrated dedicated mission to the point that no success could be recorded in the escapades, except some few who are too gregarious in their corruption activities, his government couldn’t hold on to seized assets and confiscated properties, losing court cases and paying compensations shows the hieght of it government disappointments on corruption charges. His military antecedent also provide for him the leverage to embark on a vendetta row he must have had with some highly connected individuals in the past. All these and many more are distractions that’s not needed for any functional Nigerian leader.

1. HIS BODY LANGUAGE

The first pointers Nigerian had to judge the Buhari administration upon swearing in is his body language. With the noise and so much active escapades before and after theelection that brought him to power, everybody expects his administartion to hit the ground runnin, but opposite was the case as it took him too much to settle in, taking longer than necessary to effect the changes the country needs to be redirected to the right directions, failure to dismisses political office holders for more than three month, ministers and ambassadorial appointments delay further escalated the rot and decay in the system which he should’ve taken into cognisance as soon as he get into the position to do so, althroguh his years in office till present day, his body language has never helped or do any good to his personality or good offices, he has never deem it fit to address the nation on issues that are burning on cosmopolitan fuels or rather make an attempt to calm the nation on matters of major concerns rather his publicists and allies are the one giving a hint or two on important national issues. In overall, his body language is rather poor and unprofessional and has futher plunged the nations state of despair into a more difficult position to pull out.

Going by this researched materials, we realize the Nigerian populace will have to continually look inquisitively further in choosing a leader that posses more messianic ambition and features if the promise land is still a reality, countries of the world making waves presently are only blessed by the depth of their leaders and not my the lack of it. Salvaging a country especially a more diverse and complicated like nigeria requires more dedication and quality in every sphere of governance. No country in the west has ever been ruled by angels or a god, but all have been set to the right path by the work of dedicated and visionary leaders which only has nothing but the interest of their country at heart, those who will stop at nothing to better the lot of the populace, those who will gently lay their lives for the survivals of their nation, these are the set of leaders a country like nigeria needs right now. 2019 looms larger and the same story will soon be told, the same song will be sing, the same promise will be rolled out, but will the same decision be made by the voting populace? We shall see.
