The Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to retool and lead by example on all fronts or risk plunging Nigeria into a state of despondency.
In a statement by the
Director of Social Communications of the Diocese, Monsignor Gabriel Osu, Okogie
accused the president of acting disdainfully towards the judicial authorities
while millions of Nigerians are abandoned to face unimaginable social problems.
Okogie said, “He (Buhari) must retool,
refocus and aggressively face the social, economic (fiscal and monetary)
problems we have head-on, without letting the anti-corruption drive look like a
political distraction. “A
snail-paced and disordered methodology in governance, his apparent disdain for
judicial authorities and decisions, a lost today and found tomorrow 2016 Budget
debacle, and a rather rudderless and confused Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
with an unclear monetary policy strategy (inevitably increasing the economic uncertainties
being faced by Nigerians), have set alarm bells ringing in my mind and in the
minds of many discerning Nigerians.
“Indeed,
his perceived discordant relationship with the leadership of the Legislature
has many naysayers chuckling and remarking that President Buhari’s government is heading
into his comfort zone, a one man show.”
Okogie also noted that “a lot of Nigerians are
beginning to feel that Buhari is fast transforming this nation into a police
state where the president, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and
the Department of State Security (DSS) rule the day. “What they say is given
lurid headlines in the media, and it seems to all that some of the defendants
cum accused persons are being tried in the press with information conveniently
slipping into the hands of the press, presumably from the security agencies,
even before such people have been charged.
