A Govt that is yet to meet the expectations of Nigerians will not receive their blessings-Grand Imam Shafauedeen-in-Islam
President Muhammadu Buhari has promised not to complain about Nigeria's problems any more, but to address same in due course. President Buhari who made this promise in far away, Poland , however did not give convincing reasons why he took this decision, coming just two months to the general elections.
Nigerians insist that the present administration is yet to meet their expectations, one of their expectations is for President Buhari to assent to the 2018 electoral act amendment bill, but surprisingly the President has with held his assent.
Expectedly, Nigerians have have expressed doubts over the possibilities of resolving the several challenges confronting the country is six months.
In this interview, the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke says the Federal Government is yet to meet the expectationsof the electorate. Excerpts :
Nigerians are still complaining of several shortcomings of governance, what do you thing is the solution ?
Nothing is impossible to do and achieve in the face of conducive environment for development, ranging, from the political will of government and his party functionaries.
This is behind the successes and feat achieved by developed countries including Japan, China, Singapore and Malaysia.
However,, using SWOT analysis, the areas of weaknesses and threats have overwhelmed Mr. President to the extent that the environment to succeed in addressing the myriad of problems confronting Nigeria, being the very short term remaining,creates a mind boggling scenario of doubts in the minds of all Nigerians.
This is because the land is more viscose to threats more ever before.
If Nigerians the are talking about the All Progressives Congress(APC) carelessness through internal wranglings and immature politics of selective approach towards fighting corruption, and the'dead 'Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) with the the support of the other political parties the
opposition are already up in'arms' against the frail ruling party in wrestling power from the incumbent.
It is unfortunate that the gullibility of Nigerians,due to the dysfunctional system of education, religion and socio-political and economic management as evident in the the way the PDP is now being celebrated without any preferred alternative even by the youth, whose future have continually been toyed with in the 16 years of the PDP ruler ship without conscience.
The structure on ground is equally not favorable to produce credible leaders because the amended constitution has not yet allowed for independent candidacy.
Surely, there is no way Nigeria will not be reverted to the game of business as usual because if the PDP happen to win the election, all the suspected looters in custody would be freed and the searchlight of the Economic and Financial Crimes(EFCC)would then be redirected towards perceived enemies again.
Is this the way Nigeria will continue to be ruled,For bequeath able legacy of sustainable development not to continue to be evasive as mere'tantalizing mirages' ?
This is not to say that the APC government has not been able to achieve in the areas of their reconstruction processes. For example, the rail system, the declared war on corruption and the aspect of economic diversification.
However, what makes a government popular is how it has impacted positively on the twin issues of HUNGER and POVERTY in the land, which ought to be in the areas of employment and job creation. This could be achieved through job creation/ through vocation which government is yet to aggressively address.
This is an environment in which governments at the state level are yet to pay workers their dues, the pensioners are yet to sing the praises of government and the prices of commodities are not within the reach of the poor while qualitative education continues to be evasive to the children of the poor masses.
There is no way such government could receive the the blessings of the masses.
This weakness is equally a source of strength for the opposition, even if such ''OPPOSITION' is a known ''THIEF''.
Whatever happens to the APC government, if unpalatable to the government, must have been caused by the its State Governors and the Ministers who failed to realize that the masses still hold the mandate and the power to remove or to re-elect even against all odds.
The President and the ''POWERS THAT BE '' in the APC should address with all maturity the threats of internal wranglings and the insincerity of all their State Governors and the Ministers under who the masses continue to cry for survival.
The earlier they do this , the possible it becomes to succeed in the areas of perceived failures, to disappointment of the opposition.
Power in Democracy still resides in the people, even though they have elected and appointed representatives who are supposed to serve.
Politics of rhetoric and hate speech must immediately be relegated to the background so
that the masses will have the opportunity to fulfill their rights of access to their physiological needs.
