In faraway USA, Tinubu, self appointed leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) aka Association of Crooks in Nigeria, again has sought relevance by addressing a round table moderated by Jennifer G.Cooke, the Director for Africa programme at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.<\/p>\n
He described Nigeria as a \u201cgiant bureaucracy suffering from elephantiasis\u201d. No self respecting, patriotic politician who parades himself as the leader of a major political party in his country, would go out his country to a major world power, and refer to his country in such disparaging language.<\/p>\n
Lecturing under the title, \u201cCurrent Developments in Nigeria: the view of the Opposition\u201d, he clearly displays his lack of perspective, history or even creative thinking by regurgitating age-old challenges confronting Nigeria \u2013 degenerating education, high poverty level, industrial flight, zero capital development projects etc.<\/p>\n
Federally controlled Police is as old as Nigeria itself.<\/p>\n
Decentralising it has remained subject of intense, at times, ill \u2013 tempered debate in Nigeria today. Tinubu talks as if the Nigerian government can decentralize it by fiat.<\/p>\n
It will amount to dignifying lazy mental rigour to repeat Tinubu\u2019s boring thetoric of the challenges that have lived with the country for decades, and which this administration has, more than any before it, been honestly, and consciously addressing.<\/p>\n
Tinubu\u2019s lack of perception, and knowledge of how to address terrorism that is driven by religious fanaticism clearly unfolds in his simplistic and puerile paracea for curtailing the Boko Haram insurgency \u2013 subsidise farming in the North! Somebody should have told him, that he said nothing new to the very knowledgeable persons at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in faraway Washington DC.<\/p>\n
A nationalistic focused opposition, would be expected to vouchsafe original and workable alternatives for addressing national problems, not to forever wallow in complaining and berating his country\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
Anyway, Tinubu surprises nobody \u2013 on original Area Boy cannot reform in old age.<\/p>\n
