Even though the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , has never been known to be assertive or forceful or in a hurry to achieve results, the impression one gets these days from him is that he ha
s either given up on most challenges facing Nigeria or is not concerned about them. There is also the possibility that he has no clue about what to do to change the situation.
The feeling one gets is that the President is simply waiting for the end of his tenure. But the problem is that the official end of Buhari’s tenure is still far away. That is May 29, 2023 – almost three years from now. In addition, since Buhari’s entrance as president, herdsmen and bandits have been added to the security concern of the North in frightening dimensions. In some North-West states, the so-called bandits have taken over many communities. Some communities now pay protection money to these criminals to avoid being attacked. The governors of the states are overwhelmed. They simply appeal to them to take things easy with the people.
In June, residents of Katsina State protested the high level of insecurity in their state. It was something that was unimaginable – that residents of the home state of Buhari would demonstrate against insecurity in a government led by their kinsman! Last week, the Senate moved a motion asking the service chiefs to resign for failing in their duty to protect the nation.
In spite of all the weekly killings in different states in Nigeria, Buhari did not visit Katsina or Kaduna or Zamfara or Sokoto to commiserate with them or find a solution to the killings. But shockingly, he jetted out last week to Mali on a peace mission, making himself one of the few presidents in the world that have left their countries for any reason since late March when most countries closed their borders because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
