Is Mr. President Overwhelmed, Clueless?

by Eze Eluchie

With the Naira, the national currency crashing by the day;

The fuel supply situation attaining the status of unstable and unpredictable;

The terrorists now more emboldened and striking at will in our northern fringes;

Fulani herdsmen are continuing, unchecked, with their dastardly agenda for ethnic cleansing across our Middle Belt regions;

Yet, the 'elected' President is unable to either stem the slide to anarchy or even form a Government to address the crisis;

It has become pertinent, over 15 weeks after being declared as President-elect and 6 weeks since assumption of office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to inquire if indeed, General Muhammadu Buhari has any ideas as to how to stem the free fall of the Nigerian State!

Is there a ready remedy for the comatose state of governance in Nigeria?

Can a polity as diverse and complicated as ours survive prolongation of the present state?

Is Mr. President overwhelmed with the enormity of the situation?

Nigerians had expected so much, the reality we are faced with regarding a vacuum in governance is astonishing, to say the very least. It is hoped that the present regime will realize and appreciate the need to get started and frontally confront the damage done to the polity by the continuing failure to have a Government in place at the Federal Level with its full complement of Ministers and other political appointees.
