BUHARI STAY AT YOUR DUTY POST ( BY CHIBUZOR NNOROM)



Your duty post is your

 place of function and as an employed worker or an elected servant you are expected to be found functioning at your place of primary assignment.

It is worrisome the rate at which our president travels. Mr president is hardly at the seat of power Aso Rock if he not on air enroute to Europe or Middle East.  Statistics has shown that president Buhari is the most traveled president in the world, no wonder he won the award.

You recall that in his first four years, he was out of Nigeria for four hundred and four days (404), which is a year plus and when you subtract a year plus from four years, you have two years plus of governance, no wonder he was unable to do anything in his first four years in office and is on records that Nigeria became the world's poverty capital in president Mohammadu Buhari's first tenor. Again Buhari just returned from Russia where it was said he attended an economic summit which is not positively reflecting in our economy, the economic situation of the country is in a sorry state, on returning he jetted out again to Saudi Arabia and we were  told by his special adviser on media Mr Femi Adesina , that the president has been slated for a two weeks visit to the UK, for medical check up l presume , as soon as he leaves Saudi on Saturday 2nd November 2019,  to return to Nigeria on 17th November, 2019.

When a leader is frequently absent from his duty post how can he perform?

The constant visit to UK for medical treatment of an undisclosed ailment has been a concern to many Nigerians , and at this point l am tempted to ask who runs the government in the absence of the president?  The cabals or the vice president? Because, the last time I checked, there was no form of official writing from the presidency to the National Assembly to transmit executive powers to the vice president, professor Yemi Osibanjo in the acting capacity in the absence of the president.

Nigeria as a country is in a critical condition that needs critical attention, rather than facing the myriad challenges of Nigeria, ranging from, insecurity, economic instability, corruption, hunger in the land as a result of border closure etc, the president is busy flying up and down at the expense of tax payer's money. The recent decision to increasing tax rate, without any significant impact on the lives of the citizenry makes more mockery of this government, and every thinking government will ensure that the farmers are empowered and local food production are in adequate supply before closing their border, knowing full well that the country depends largely on imported foods. The Mohammed Tanko led supreme court judgment on the presidential election tribunal has set a wrong precedence on our judicial system and subsequent government will leverage on that and thereby killing the system dead. The judiciary, they said is the last hope of a common man, has been nailed to the coffin ( in the words of Alhaji Atiku Abubarka after the supreme court judgment), the question that is begging for answer is 'what will the common man do'. Now that the executive has succeeded in pocketing the judiciary and the legislature, the future of Nigerian DEMOCRACY is at stake . I STAND AGAINST THE PROPOSED MILITARY EXERCISE CODE NAMED OPI ( Operation Positive Identification) which is to take effect on 1st November, 2019 to December 23rd, 2019.
