After all, Nigerians were not unconscious\u00a0 of what the future under the now-expired Goodluck Jonathan administration possibly portended before they decided to speak with their thumbs a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Archbishop Adewale Martins beautifully summed up the mood of the moment when he noted: <em>\u201cThere is too much despondency, poverty and suffering in the land, and if care is not taken to remedy the situation, the people will one day stand up and revolt because their expectations from the government have\u00a0 not been met.&#8221; <\/em>\u00a0Needless to repeat that Nigeria currently suffers from dwindling resources in the face of unshrinking responsibilities,\u00a0\u00a0 a huge corruption scandal and\u00a0 an opportunistically overstretched\u00a0 texture of Nigeria&#8217;s politics. Gold diggers\u00a0 and fortune seekers are at work and a resource-rich nation like Nigeria is\u00a0 now an island of violence in a sea of poverty and squalor.\u00a0 Civil servants are frustratingly panting\u00a0 under the pangs of unpaid salaries and power\u00a0 has become so epileptic that, at\u00a0 a point in our recent history, generation\u00a0 reportedly accessed Ground Zero. No thanks to a national crisis orchestrated by Jonathan&#8217;s\u00a0 inability to picture into the future!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a country that has become gradually concerned with power to the exclusion of human welfare, long queues at petrol stations\u00a0 are unwilling to abate even as Nigeria has fallen to 67th\u00a0 position in FIFA\u2019s ranking in football, a game in which she used to dominate the space and dictate the tune. In the midst of these,\u00a0 some witches, wizards\u00a0 and professional worriers whose surprising view of history is wrapped in a dubious fig leaf of reality have been waxing so lyrically\u00a0 in their call\u00a0 for naira devaluation without rethinking more forcefully that ours is a consumer economy. That&#8217;s how bad the situation has become and only God can save us!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, call it <em>&#8216;Quick fix democracy&#8217;<\/em> and you may not be far from it! From the look of things, Nigerians want Buhari to act Moses on the rock at Horeb, not minding what became the fate of the creature\u00a0 for taking the credit, instead of ascribing glory to the Creator.\u00a0\u00a0 Even without\u00a0 understanding the circumstances that have dragged us to this pass, it is their belief that former President Jonathan has been shown the way out and all his imperfections are long gone with him. &#8216;It could have been worse&#8217;! Yes! But, in their festive estimation, a victorious <em>All Progressives Congress<\/em> (APC) ought to\u00a0 have known that it was not beyond the capacity of a defeated <em>People&#8217;s<\/em> <em>Democratic<\/em> <em>Party<\/em> (PDP) government to emplace\u00a0 thorns and thistles on\u00a0 the path of the incoming administration and that a government worth its mission\u00a0 would have taken\u00a0 preemptive measures to nullify the counsels of the wicked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, Buhari&#8217;s globally acknowledged resolve to achieve a moral and an ideological victory over the debris of the dreams of the now-imploded PDP remains unshaken. For a fact, this straightforwardly great and startlingly special sheriff\u00a0 has started well\u00a0 and it is only a matter of time before\u00a0 his combination of confidence, political savvy and strategic analytic reasoning starts yielding fruits. But, despite the president&#8217;s efforts at putting Nigeria back on the world map, there are still some nagging questions that have refused to go away and it is quite interesting that\u00a0 efforts to search for suitable answers have ended up in more questions. For instance, who\u00a0 is sabotaging the president in his efforts to unleash his rod of change on Nigeria\u2019s socio-economic sentiments with a view to bringing forth their increase\u00a0 and who will stop powers that stopped Jonathan from\u00a0 stopping Buhari in his quest to actualize a Greater Nigeria dream? Who&#8217;s the Haman hindering Nigeria&#8217;s Mordecai from accessing his King Ahasuerus and who is acting Balak in Buhari&#8217;s desire to serve as balms for woes to the hungry and the depressed?\u00a0 If the most crucial and the most important time for a leader to show his true worth is in the face of adversity, who&#8217;s the Judas on Buhari&#8217;s path to redirecting the country along the line of equality, liberty and solidarity?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Expanding the argument, why has the town refused to compensate its dwellers and why are those who wear the gown messing up their present even as they make no preparation for the future?\u00a0 Why has our democracy been grumbling in conflictual cleavages of dishonesty, incompetence and contrived promises and why has Nigeria become a stratified capitalist society comprising the &#8220;small flies&#8221; whose &#8220;socio-economic conditions reveal little or no inter-generational mobility relative to their parents&#8221; and the &#8220;great flies&#8221; who &#8220;abuse their positions for private gains&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wait a minute, have we ever attempted to interrogate the circumstances that threw up\u00a0 Ayo Fayose and Nyesom\u00a0 Wike\u00a0 as candidates of their party and how they eventually &#8216;won the race&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0 as governors in their respective\u00a0 states? What of the duo&#8217;s vexatious\u00a0 roles in Alli Modu Sheriff&#8217;s emergence as the substantive chairman of Nigeria&#8217;s major opposition party and the trio&#8217;s common denominator as political heavyweights? As a matter of fact, where lie the place, space and roles of a violent extremist <em>Public Liability Company<\/em> erroneously referred to as Boko Haram in all of this?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the whole, Nigeria remains a worthy light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel project,\u00a0 in spite of the crisis of value, compounded by crisis of structures, that currently threatens her existence. All the same, as Nigerians are\u00a0 expecting the president to experiment the miracle of the Marriage at Cana,\u00a0 another critical area that has of late become Nigeria&#8217;s defining identity\u00a0 is the activity of Fulani herdsmen. And, while it may be convenient for us to problematize our assumptions, I doubt if there is any significant difference between Boko Haram terrorists who waste precious lives in Damboa and Fulani herdsmen who kill poor farmers in Akure. It is therefore my sincere wish that the president would without further delay rise to the strategic imperative of\u00a0 unimpeachably\u00a0 confronting this affront on our collective humanity before it gravitates into\u00a0 a dangerous platform for hypocritical application of ethnic idioms as a means of extending political mileage and re-strategizing\u00a0 access to power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the final analysis, it&#8217;s time Nigerians came to terms with the fact that terrorism is in and of itself a victim of more than one script!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">May the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace in Nigeria!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>*KOMOLAFE writes in from Ijebu-Jesa, Osun State, Nigeria (ijebujesa@yahoo.co.uk)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">abiodun KOMOLAFE,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">020, Okenisa Street,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PO Box 153,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ijebu-Jesa, Osun State.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Abiodun KOMOLAFE BONNIE Honig, political theorist and author of &#8216;Emergency Politics: Paradox, Law, Democracy&#8217; wrote: &#8220;Democracies must resist emergency&#8217;s pull to focus on life&#8217;s necessities (food, security, and bare&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46879,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Buhari: Who is sabotaging the sheriff?
