BUHARI HAS ADMITTED AT LAST THAT FUEL SUBSIDY IS FRAUDULENT!

Nobel Laureate, Professor ‘Wole Soyinka, declared that President Muhammadu Buhari was not in-charge of Nigeria during an interview granted to Plus TV Africa, on Thursday 4th June, 2020!

This renowned scholar who had been an unrepentant critic of past Nigerian Governments including the military, based his current aberration on the President while reacting to an open letter written by retired army Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar, who warned the incumbent president that the nation risked sliding into crisis if he (Buhari) “continues to give undue preference to some sections of “.the country over others in national appointments,” – an ignoble practice that was forbidden both in the Nigerian Military hierarchy and also imbibed by democratic administrations from PM. Tafawa Balewa, to President Aliyu Shehu Shagari, and from 1999-2015!    ‘Wole Soyinka who had always accused President Buhari of lack-lustre performance, nepotism, institutional corruption under his watch including maladministration also said, “ I don’t really believe there’s anybody in charge at Aso Rock....... I am sorry to say this,  I have been studying the trend over the past year and a half and I believe that this president is not in charge of this nation in so many aspects and direction”!

Professor Soyinka said lopsidedness in appointments is an insult on entire Nigeria and that is also glaring in the Ministry of Petroleum which is headed by the President himself and made reference to the unrest in the Niger Delta due to lack of infrastructural development in the region that produces the mainstay economic crude oil for the nation and recommended adequate punishment for the criminal lopsidedness and as the de facto minister of the indicted Ministry, he should have addressed the nation before talking of restructuring!
He however commended retired Colonel Abubakar Umar, for boldly criticizing and condemning President Buhari’s nepotistic posture in government in an open letter even as a fellow Northerner with the president!

THE NDDC UNDER PRESIDENT BUHARI’S  WATCH!
According to recent reports, the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), in its 19 years of operation had gulped billions of naira in allocations but has no visible infrastructures to show for the humongous investments and as such President Buhari had ordered a forensic audit of its finances and projects from inception! In effect, the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), in its report on revenues, deductions, disbursements, and application of funds by the NDDC, stated that N59.8 billion was awarded for contracts in Delta State between 2007 and 2011. The Commission’s Appropriation Act in 2016 also revealed that whooping sums of N28 billion and N25billion naira were approved for projects in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Legislators of the National Assembly stock had been fingered as the brain behind the massive fraud in NDDC, from inception to 2019, but denied and described the accusation as cheap blackmail predicated on a falsehood! The outcome of the forensic audit is being awaited feverishly by all stakeholders in order to get at the bottom of the rot in order to set all records right and initiate a new ORDER! It is believed that the Commission has mismanaged at least N1.53 trillion since inception!

EXCERPTS FROM COLONEL ABUBAKAR UMAR’S OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUHARI!
The contentious letter titled, “Mr. President: Please Belong to All of Us”; raised concern over a dangerous polarisation through undue lopsidedness in the president’s appointments which connote ethnic and sectional considerations. The highlight of Col. Umar’s letter centred on the Judiciary where the former Military Governor of Kaduna State, believed suffered much injustice through the un -ceremonial removal of Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen of Cross River State origin on corruption charges and replaced by a Muslim Northerner in spite of the fact that Vice President ‘Yemi Osinbajo had confirmed his acting appointment when the President was hospitalized. He did not fail to mention that another most senior member of the Bench in the Federal Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban Mensem, a Northern Christian is yet to be confirmed as substantive head though she was serving out her second three-month term in acting capacity, while the President is probably busy shopping for a Muslim candidate. He also mentioned glaring appointments of Northern Muslims in the leadership cadre of the Security Services! Retired Col. Umar had earlier quoted the Muslim scholar Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio who once wrote, “One of the swiftest ways of destroying a Kingdom is to give preference of one particular tribe over another or show favour to one group of people rather than another. And to draw near those who should be kept away and keep away those who should be drawn near.”
He concluded by reminding the President that if Justice Mensem who was highly recommended by the National Judicial Council was bypassed to pave way for another Northern Muslim next in line, then it would be truly odd and that he (Mr. President), would need the largest contingent of public relations guru to rebut THE CHARGES THAT YOU ARE EITHER UNWILLING OR INCAPABLE OF ACTING ON YOUR PLEDGE TO BELONG TO EVERYONE – AND TO NO ONE.

DOCTRINE OF ASSUMPTION TO DE-MYSTIFY THE AVALANCHE OF ACCUSATIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUHARI!
Assumption should be the RUDDER to address the imbroglio over the avalanche of criticisms that have greeted the Fifth Anniversary of President Buhari’s tenure as Head of Government and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria! Let’s assume that all the accusations against President Buhari, by all of his detractors and faithful friends – who would tell him the truth, whether he likes it or not: Would those moves stop him from completing his second tenure mandate? NO!

Would those barrage of indictments change President Buhari from being a lesser person than “A Man of Integrity”, who is acknowledged world-wide? NO! 
Assuming that he ACCEPTED all criticisms in good fate,  MADE 360 degrees turn-around for urgent amends; RIGHT all wrongs; PACIFY all aggrieved parties; DISBAND the new CABAL that is trying to re-group; REMOVE non-performing aides, advisers, lazy personnel within the corridors of power; INITIATE express response to all forms of agitations for RESTRUCTURING of the nation in line with his party’s El-Rufai’s Committee Recommendations which are NOT at variance with the Masses Demands;
INITIATE establishment of STATE POLICE; BEGIN the process the shutting down the SENATE like his counterpart, President Macky Sall of SENEGAL; RESPOND to all PETITIONS with speed, alacrity, professionalism, dexterity and diligence?
Assuming that he puts on the garb of a TRUE DEMOCRAT, shun nepotism, tribalism, bigotry, favouritism of one sector above the other, of which he had been severally accused, embrace the Doctrine of Equal Opportunities for all Nigerians of over 250 tribes and about 500 languages in all political and socio-economic spaces? Assuming that he addressed the citizens regularly at this trying time of Covid-19 to sooth frayed nerves as FATHER OF THE NATION – in view of the fact that with each passing day, his remaining 4-year second term dwindles?

PRESIDENT BUHARI AS MINISTER OF PETROLEUM SINCE 1976!
President Buhari was a Nigerian Army Lieutenant. Colonel, in 1976 when he was appointed Minister of Petroleum under General Aremu Obasanjo, who succeeded Gen Murtala Mohammed who was assassinated in a failed coup de tat on 13 February 1976.
With the experience garnered then, he decided to handled the Petroleum portfolio as his personal project without proper research and had in the process of FIVE YEARS, compounded the operational activities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation which is the flagship outfit of the OIL AND GAS Sector, identified and addressed as the CITADEL OF INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA! President Buhari did not realise the enormity of the crimes, criminalities and FRAUD being perpetrated in the sector! He was easily deceived by his “trusted lieutenants” in the Ministry/NNPC Tower of Corruption where accountability was at ZERO LEVEL!
Nigeria cannot confirm daily statistics of barrels of CRUDE lifted from its OIL WELLS! The President can turn all that around in a jiffy once he has convinced himself that the Nation’s CEREBRALS also abound in the SOUTHERN part of Nigeria and would be ready to turn around the fortunes of the Petroleum Industry, even with the available time remaining so that he might leave office in 2023 with his integrity unscathed! 

PETROLEUM SUBSIDY OF 20 YEARS IS A BIG SCAM AFTER ALL!
Speaking through the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), a subsidiary of NNPC on Thursday 4th June, 2020, President Buhari subtly admitted that the SUBSIDY REGIME as practised by consecutive Nigerian administrations was bare-faced robbery of the common patrimony of the citizens and had to be stopped forthwith for Nigerian petroleum prices to be determined by MARKET FORCES HENCEFORTH! There could be no better time than now for such strategic decision when leading Crude Oil producers – Russia and Saudi Arabia have cut prices and boosted production due to general global oversupply of oil combined with economic worries which stemmed from the covid-19 pandemic.

TO REDEEM HIS IMAGE, PRESIDENT BUHARI SHOULD DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR; INSTITUTE AN INDEPENDENT FORENSIC AUDIT OF NNPC AND STOP FURTHER OIL EXPLORATION IN THE NORTH BUT DIVERT THE SCARCE RESOURCES TO MASSIVE AGRICULTURE OF THE LAND AND ENSURE THE MUCH DESIRED FOOD SECURITY FOR OUR GREAT NATION!
The President should remember that it took him FOUR DESPERATE ATTEMPTS before he mounted the saddle of POWER and should show gratitude to the Almighty God and the Nigerian Electorate, who gave him the golden opportunity of a lifetime by correcting all past errors of commission or omission and prove to the TALAKAWAS that he could still wipe away their TEARS within the limited period of THREE YEARS! It is do-able! “To whom much is given, much is expected!”
