PMB, TIME TO LET GO:
So many issues are left unattended even small issues that a
presidential cough can deal with are left hanging. Supporters are
worried, understandably resorting to grumbling in hush voices while
keeping bold faces and holding on to hope and prayers.
The govt has so many soft target for internal and external
opposition to feast.We must tell ourselves the truth rather than live in
denial. At PMB's age, working actively for over 50 years , even without
his present health condition, his capacity will be greatly challenged.
Mr president himself admitted that he has never been this sick in
his entire life which makes the entire scenario really worrisome. Then
we are reminded everyday that PMB will travel abroad again to attend to
his health as if it is just normal and we should celebrate?
I believe that the combination of these two factors of his age and
health situation has slowed down the pace of PMB and the APC govt. This
has become clearly noticeable because it is a time that the country is
expected to be on auto cruise in dealing with its challenges bearing in
mind that the present APC government is fast running out of time yet
things continue to go even slower, slower and slower!
The more PMB appears on camera, the more the narrative of his
health situation takes the center stage and the uncertainly it creates.
It is a narrative that has over powered what ever official function Mr
President is discharging since his return from medical vacation
PMB gave his all to Nigeria. He is a great man, an enigma like
Mandela. If we truly love him, We must not allow him to be rubbished.
Life and health belongs to God but the more I see pictures of Mr
President, the more Iam convinced he needs to go and rest. He needs it!
The president I see on camera needs full home care not office,
moderately quiet life, enough rest and quality time with his family.
Sometimes there is no harm in been driven in a car you labour to buy and
who knows? You might even enjoy the ride better on owners' seat.
PMB should opt for or encourage to accept a negotiated exit. The
country can not afford a sort of part time president at this time. This
is not as easy but it is doable. I do not think PMB is obsessed with
power, I only think the practical way to go about things is to key in
the interest of those who are or can be an obstacle around the president
for fear of losing their positions or relevance.
The interest of PMB himself, his family and friends, some officials
and regional sentiments are interest that should be addressed. If we
truly love PMB, we must apply some urgent diplomacy, resolve these
issues quickly, move on and save the country valuable time
Mr President can be giving a special concession to nominate a new
VP. We should expect that he nominates a very competent northerner. A
nominee that can get things done and have the capacity to unite the
north and assuage it feelings for losing the presidency again
We the northerners should accept it as destiny, may be Almighty God
is so disappointed with the present generation of northern leaders. And
may be God wants to reserve the northern presidential slot for the
younger and vibrant northern generation that will come after us
I also believe Mrs Buhari is competent enough and can be considered
for a cabinet position. She has paid her dues in APC, anyway. The
incoming President will have to do some diplomatic shuttle to few
powerful officials to address what ever their fears may be
A committee of all former heads of states, APC leaders and DSS can
work together to push through this agenda in our collective interest. I
apologise to any body who might misunderstand my tweets or feel
offended. I have to love PMB even more and have nothing against him.
But this is my candid opinion and advice. It may not be the case or
perfect but it has conviction of my conscience and I will sleep well. I
have listened to many arguments, non is worth the life of PMB. He has
done his best. I believe it is time he let go.
God bless you all
