It may interest the Reader
to know that if we are to go by the President Muhammadu Buhari’s command
(promises).....his government has and still have agenda as was campaigned upon
in 2015 and 2019.
One may ask, what is the
crux, focus, agenda of the government? Is it fighting Corruption, Is it economic
recovery/growth and development, Is it restoring Security?
Consequent upon the above and
in view of the happenings in the last four years, we may say the government has
what it intended to achieve before 2019 that we are in today.
Undoubtedly, the government
even before its commencement, told us those three things it want to achieve, so
the government in itself have bearing though with hitches which are trying to turn
down the achieved.(for liberal minds like me).
Taking the gamut of the
promises; on fighting corruption, it partially worked especially within the
sphere of operation of the public service. It is believed by a number of people
that the war against corruption is selective and a failed mission already.
Those people used the case of
Sambo Dasuki, Babachir David Lawal and recent waiver of the Danjuma Goje's case by EFCC for his
stepping down to Ahmad Lawal.
On the Economy, a number of
variables/factors are available, there is western indices to measuring Economic
Development;- the GDP, Foreign reserve, Forex, per capital income etc and there
are also real economic Measurements; real per capital income, visible investments
in critical sectors - infrastructure, Education, Agriculture which provide food
availability and create job which produce the real income amongst others. I
leave this for the reader to judge.
In the area of security, a
lot are for discussions; we have a partial success in war against Boko Haram as
for four years they still exist to attack soft targets and failed in emerging
new challenge(s) especially in the North West; armed banditry which was a
product of cattle rustling and now graduating to kidnapping and terrorism.
The new security threat was
not inherited at this alarming Capacity though little of its spate was notice
around Birnin Gwari, Zamfara and very little part of Katsina to say the least.
So for me the Buhari administration
has woefully failed in this regard. Now, with the above analytics and in view
of the attribution of the failures by the Executive arm of government to
Legislature (leadership of the National Assembly) and in view of establishing a
Legislature that will be answerable to the will and wishes of the presidency, we
expect the Best of government result in the next four years.
Let’s for the last time have
hope
