Buhari’s water bill is a polarising document that can only serve to widen the gulf that has kept Nigeria as a country without a soul, a polity of about two hundred million people that is stuck in time

Buhari just could not condemn Abacha or he would be indicting himself, condemning his own legacy of corruption through the PTF

That edifice, although constructed to fight crime, is like a visual image of the humungous nature of crime and corruption in our land

We are certainly in new territories of lawlessness when an appointee of a president can simply ignore legitimate orders of constitutional bodies

Nothing seems to be working according to order, yet our leaders, particularly our president, go about as if all is just fine; we are back in a sense to the state of insecurity that preceded the 2015 election, the only difference are the actors. Then it was Boko Haram. Now it is herdsmen

Surrounded by his non-performing appointees Buhari’s failures can either be shared among many or covered. This is why many will always hold him personally responsible for the mass killings across the country

It appears to me that the president’s comment is aimed at youths from a section of this country, namely, the Niger Delta and perhaps, anti-Buhari youths from the South East

Nigerians need more than a president who will stay in the presidential villa doing half a day’s job or spending much of his time on bed rest

Where government can no longer guarantee the security of the people, what is left to do?

Let everyone have their day in court and let everyone who knows they have no skeleton in their closet approach the courts in the spirit of confidence
