As the parties make their moves…
PDP’s strategy will surely be to divide the votes of the upper North, by pitting the North West against the North East, and carrying the North Central handily. The East and the South-South are solidly PDP, and that is Buhari’s weakest link
2019 elections: The race, the alignments….(2)
It is difficult to point to any real achievements in the last four years of this presidency. Corruption is still very high, and would remain so for as long as the public bureaucracy remains in its current composition and structure
2019 Elections: The Race, The Alighnments….
All the issues which APC campaigned against in 2015 have multiplied under this government: the Boko Haram insurgency which had very nearly been wiped out by the end of Jonathan’s time in office, has grown fiercer under Buhari
Moghalu for president
Moghalu’s declared cause is the preservation of Nigeria as a nation of great, sovereign possibility
Between the ‘rule of law’ and ‘national security’
It is not the conduct of the citizen that threatens national security. It is the failure, and decomposition of the foundational systems designed to protect the state and secure the citizens from the abscess of extreme actions…. Not to check this president endangers the National security and the national interest of the federation of Nigeria
Saraki-Tinubu tango: Game-on
The highest form of corruption is the abuse of power that delegitimizes, or weakens the institutions of state, because once these institutions are weakened, attrition sets in
Sowore for President
The Parties – PDP and APC – are straight out of the same rule book. They sound the same. They feel the same. Yes, PDP was a “den of thieves and killers.” When APC took the power the thieves and the killers moved their den to the APC. That’s how this works
The invasion of the National Assembly
The serial attack on the National Assembly is all part of the agenda of the executive arm, to undermine the other two arms of the federal government capable of exerting oversight
The Auditor-General’s Report
How can a government fight corruption if it cannot account for its operation? Lack of accountability is the general and simple meaning of corruption in government!
What is restructuring?
These Fulani herdsmen for as long as they are Nigerian citizens or lawful residents, have a right to move and settle anywhere in Nigeria. But they do not have the right to force people under arms and occupy their lands without consequence
Buhari’s “Exceutive Order 6”
We cannot use unconstitutional, and therefore corrupt means to deal with corruption, nor is it wise to misunderstand the true nature of the crisis we are dealing with here
The State Police
The National Assembly must get it right, and craft a bill that addresses the fundamental loopholes in the delegation of powers of the police
The future of the Igbo in Nigeria does not depend on Buhari
It is time the likes of Boss Mustapha understood that these primitive presumptions that have marred our democratic goals, and the development of Nigeria has much to do with the inherited biases of the postwar years, which at some point must come to an end
Buhari: A Nigerian albatross?
Boko Haram was just about being crushed when Buhari, and folks from the APC raised the ruse about Jonathan’s “abuse of human rights,” and used their international network to prevent the US, the UK, France, and South Africa from selling arms and equipment to Jonathan’s government
Tinkering with Budget
No president can spend money unless authorized to do so by the Legislature. The power to spend is also not absolute, because it can be reviewed by legislative process
