Dear President Buhari, For The Love Of Yourself And Country, Please Resign. By Ogundana Michael Rotimi.

Your Excellency Sir,
First and foremost, congratulations to you, the Chibok community, and to all well-meaning Nigerians on the successful release of additional 82 #ChibokGirls from the hands of their abductor, Boko Haram. At least, at this point, no one can genuinely fault your commitment to securing the release of the girls and reuniting them with their loved ones. It is a huge success for the country and for your administration.
Meanwhile, early this year, precisely 19th January 2017, you travelled out of the country to the United Kingdom in what your handlers called a 10-day vacation to have some rest. However, you ended up staying in London for about two months, during which several political leaders visited you and gave us the assurance that you were “Hale and Hearty”, “Fit as Fiddle” and that you were only resting.
Unfortunately, it turns out that you were really sick as you hinted during a short address to the nation when you returned. You admitted that he had never been this “sick” in your entire life and further revealed that you had a “blood transfusion” in the course of your treatment in the United Kingdom. This shows the gravity of your illness.

President Buhari Is Not Fighting Corruption, He`s Only Looking For Money! By Ogundana Michael Rotim


A purportedly incorruptible President will not appoint and keep an allegedly corruptible Secretary General to the Federation on his team and pretend like all is well- forget about the Kangaroo investigation by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF). Well, that`s a discussion for another time.
It is on record that fighting corruption- a serious endemic that has left our nation battered and shattered, was one of the primary reasons why President Buhari was elected, asides for battling the Boko Haram Insurgency.
However, events unfolding since President Buhari came on board after the general elections in 2015, (that saw the incumbent president- Dr Goodluck Jonathan, voted out of office), confirm that as against expectations, President Buhari is not fighting corruption, but more keen on getting money to fund his campaign promises through loot recovery and that is exactly what he has been doing.
Nigeria, since independence have suffered from a total breakdown of law and order in the hands of its leaders, who technically legitimized corruption- squandered and laundered its resources and left its citizenry to the mercy of aids. However, with high hopes and aspirations President Buhari was elected to do the needful- to clean up the system, go after looters, prosecute them and in the process recover the loot and make them pay severely for their unlawful actions.
