<\/div>\n
Nigeria’s democracy has advanced another year. Yet three years into<\/div>\n
President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency, telling\u00a0 him and his team how<\/div>\n
well or badly the administration has faired, remains a hot-button issue.<\/div>\n
The opposition dwells on it.\u00a0 Nigerians regardless of social strata,<\/div>\n
consider it topical at the coffee table or buka joint.\u00a0 The polls try to<\/div>\n
stay neutral and reflective of the national consensus.\u00a0 Still as members<\/div>\n
of the ruling party and Buhari aficionados underline the accomplishments,<\/div>\n
they also upbraid anyone who says otherwise.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the cusp of a general election year, what is required is unvarnished<\/div>\n
assessments. Nigeria needs someone or persons who can tell the president<\/div>\n
the truth, but not in President Obasanjo’s\u00a0 self-serving ways.\u00a0 Indeed,<\/div>\n
PMB needs to know the state of play, as he seeks reelection, if indeed he<\/div>\n
wants to correct past mistakes and move the nation forward.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To mark the president’s third anniversary in office, a public opinion poll<\/div>\n
conducted by NOIPolls in partnerships with Gallup (USA), evaluated ten<\/div>\n
critical governance and sectoral issues, and produced a cumulative result.<\/div>\n
The president did not reach the fifty percentile mark in any specific<\/div>\n
category.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The president’s highest score was 43% on security and his lowest 12% on<\/div>\n
poverty alleviation.\u00a0 His other performance indicators ranged from 32% for<\/div>\n
corruption; 34% for agriculture; 25% for healthcare; 21% for<\/div>\n
infrastructure; 24% education; 16% for economy; and\u00a0 15% for job creation.<\/div>\n
Overall, the cumulative average is\u00a0 not-too-heartwarming.\u00a0 Bluntly, it<\/div>\n
was non-stellar. For street voices in Nigeria there’s nothing to<\/div>\n
celebrate. Then again, we must also consider that subjective core areas<\/div>\n
like national cohesion, peace and stability, patriotism, dividends of<\/div>\n
democracy and trust were not even ranked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Looking forward, shall we tell the president he has not done so well<\/div>\n
without encountering a hard push back?\u00a0 Who will tell the president that<\/div>\n
our democracy, having arrived at the beyond nascent point, is experiencing<\/div>\n
de-consolidation.\u00a0 In my recently published book, Prime Witness – Change<\/div>\n
and Policy Challenges in Buhari’s Nigeria, policy performances relating to<\/div>\n
these ten categories, amongst others, were similarly evaluated, albeit,<\/div>\n
within the president’s first two years in office.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As I noted at a recent book presentation, my book, like every opinion<\/div>\n
poll, and constructive assessment seeks to “analyze evolving policies from<\/div>\n
the very onset of the Buhari administration; focusing on lessons learned,<\/div>\n
missed opportunities and choices before Nigeria.”\u00a0 Undertaking such<\/div>\n
assessment, more so, where it is non-partisan remains a national<\/div>\n
imperative. Yet any foray into that realm is not for the faint-hearted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the balance, one must acknowledge on its face value, Minister Lai<\/div>\n
Mohammed’s contention that “President Buhari’s administration had achieved<\/div>\n
a lot in the delivery of dividends of democracy and campaign promises<\/div>\n
despite the challenges it encountered in the last three years.\u00a0 We are<\/div>\n
putting our nation on the path of sustainable growth an development,<\/div>\n
diversifying our economy like never before, tackling corruption at its<\/div>\n
very core and devising creative measures to secure life and property.”\u00a0 A<\/div>\n
cogent assessment; but one with equally cogent flip-side.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As I observed recently, Nigeria’s democracy is foundering on the issue of<\/div>\n
restructuring. The contending point; were Nigeria to be doing so well, the<\/div>\n
clamor and clangor for transformation and restructuring would be at a<\/div>\n
lower din and decibel.\u00a0 If our national debate and assessment of<\/div>\n
government is dichotomous, reasons for such disposition abound.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nigerians have become escapists in confronting critical national issues<\/div>\n
collectively. Now, expediency and convenience\u00a0 decree compartmentalization<\/div>\n
and sectionalism. Consequently, critical issues, “national questions, the<\/div>\n
quest for parity in resources, and attachment to identity” suddenly and<\/div>\n
conveniently become divisive, creating unwarranted dichotomy. Nonetheless,<\/div>\n
the assessment of any leadership, more so in a democracy cannot be<\/div>\n
avoided.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The observations and conclusions in my book are broad and the concluding<\/div>\n
assessment pointed. Some who have read the book have chided my seeming<\/div>\n
empathy towards President Buhari. One in particular, a revered “Silk”<\/div>\n
hitherto a hard core Buhari\u00a0 supporter wrote,\u00a0 “It appears to me that the<\/div>\n
marks…ought to be less charitable and patronizing than you awarded.”\u00a0 My<\/div>\n
response is that my evaluation was of policies not personalities, even as<\/div>\n
both often intertwine and are fungible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Borrowing paragraph from my book might address and clarify the interface.<\/div>\n
“Effective political leadership is generally perceived as one that<\/div>\n
delivers on it’s promises. Statesmanship, on the other hand, entails<\/div>\n
employing great tact in steering the affair of state and in better<\/div>\n
management of unanticipated crisis that other leaders would have in<\/div>\n
similar circumstances.” It’s pertinent to recall that even President<\/div>\n
Buhari’s biographer, when confronted with a heady question on Buhari’s<\/div>\n
presidency and leadership prospects, responded thus:\u00a0 “Whether he can<\/div>\n
achieve further political change in Nigeria is hard to predict.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So as we look back to President Buhari’s three years in office and look to<\/div>\n
his next year or next five years,\u00a0 we must assess the state of play<\/div>\n
forthrightly, and with hope. Yakubu Mohammed hit the bullseye with this<\/div>\n
summation,\u00a0 “government usually gives hope that tomorrow would be better.”<\/div>\n
His views dovetail well into my closing summation in Prime Witness:<\/div>\n
“Buhari has the remaining part of his tenure to remediate\u00a0 his governance<\/div>\n
style and redeem his already damaged leadership image. He can do so by<\/div>\n
drastically altering his leadership style and running a much more<\/div>\n
inclusive government, where a crop of bipartisan skilled personalities can<\/div>\n
help him deliver his change agenda for Nigeria.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Advisers around the president must accept that outside counsel or<\/div>\n
criticism have their salient value and merit.\u00a0 They must also recognize<\/div>\n
their unique role. They need to accept the ultimate public service dictum,<\/div>\n
paraphrased thus;\u00a0 “I have one master, Mr. President. I have one mistress,<\/div>\n
the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”\u00a0 They must serve both pari passu. That<\/div>\n
considered, shall we all resolve to tell the president the truth. Things<\/div>\n
ain’t as rosy as those in officialdom paint it.\u00a0 Nigeria and Nigerians can<\/div>\n
do better. And Nigerians remain hopeful.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here is the upshot of our present circumstances.\u00a0 As president, the buck<\/div>\n
stops at President Buhari’s desk. He is the one Nigerians elected to lead<\/div>\n
them. Not everyone who evaluates Buhari’s presidency constructively, or<\/div>\n
even trenchantly is a traducer, detractor or opposition.\u00a0 Most speak truth<\/div>\n
to power in order to better and save Nigeria.\u00a0 Many still believe in the<\/div>\n
president as a change agent.\u00a0 Yet the realization persist that for<\/div>\n
Nigeria, it is not yet eureka.<\/div>\n
