#SoundOff: Buhari, Please Don’t Take Our Economy Backwards

Must read

by Donald Ekpo

Can we just continue where we stopped?

Now that the IMF have also confirmed that Nigeria is on the path to RECESSION as evident in General Buhari’s ‘No Policy’ policy of governance, no distinctive approach to stabilize the economy or try to balance or reconcile its distinctive layers, and no defined terms on encouraging the nation’s FDI since its inception, how will Nigeria ever get itself off these path.

Has General Buhari shown any visible or meaningful leadership skills in any of the sectors, so far, that would make anyone say, “Yes, for sure there is hope?”

With General Buhari practically killing the private sector with his inactive dictatorial leadership and everly working on his invisible drawing board that has so far produced men from the past as our new ministers, how would value be ever given to the naira? How would any serious nation ever feel secure to do business here?

If we try to wake Buhari and his party from their working slumber to sit up and do the job of governance and to stop campaigning even while in office, some of their sychophantic clowns that have either been mesmerized by the thought of General Buhari’s sainthood, or been hypnotized by some collabo spell from some waved brooms or are blinded by tribal sentiment would explain to you that General Buhari is fixing the mess from the past administration.

Buhari fixing the mess of an administration that placed Nigeria as the largest economy in Africa? That placed Nigeria as the number one investment destination in Africa and 4th in the world? An administration that single handedly reduced hunger in Nigeria by 7.6% with its strides in Agriculture? An administration that was able to establish a SWF of over $4bn, one that stabilized our FR at a benchmark of $38bn – $48bn for years with subsequent ECAs that was duly shared as required by law? 

An administration that had the federal roads as construction sites by maintaining, expanding and establishing new roads. An administration that singled handedly established 12 universities from the scratch and rehabilited several? One that rehabilitated our airports and brought it 20years to civilization? And many more I cannot list out.

Is that the administration General Buhari’s no policy government wants to fix? Is it not time General Buhari shows Nigeria what we expect from him since it is clear he denied his electoral promises.

Even for that which is expected of him as a military General, he has failed to provide the promised security.

Can we at the least, continue where we stopped since we obviously can’t have the positive CHANGE as promised?

PLEASE DONT TAKE US BACK… bikonu!!!
