The Central Issue:
No system of government will function in Nigeria while people in the
leading positions are poised to undermine the system!
It was laughable to read what intellectual Nigerians had
to say about the government of Nigeria during the inaugural lecture of the Oba
Sikiru Adetona Professorial Chair in Governance, Olabisi Onabanjo University,
Ago Iwoye. Reading what these elites had
to say left the impression that there is a system of government that will
function in Nigeria. Given the state of
Nigeria, the thought of a governmental system that will work is a fallacy.
Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the former managing director of
Zenith Bank, is now the President of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Mr. Emefiele watched as billions of naira was
stolen from the Nigeria’s treasury without doing anything. If President Buhari dismisses Mr. Emefiele as
Governor CBN for continuing to sabotage Nigeria’s economy, constructively;
Niger Delta Avengers will ignite another salvo of Pipe Line Destruction.
The Buhari government will eventually address policies
and systems of government in Nigeria.
However, in the interim will Professor Akin Mabogunje; Oba Sikiru
Adetona; Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and Ex-Governor Aremo Olusegun Osoba, please
address the issues of corruption in public office; terrorist groups; and the
need to undermine and frustrate the federal government by political
parties. It was shocking to learn that
PDP senators vowed to stymie the Buhari-led administration by any means
possible.
No system of government will function in Nigeria as long
as so many interest groups are prepared to derail the system.
