Lawyers task Buhari on campaign promises vanguardngr.com vanguardnews

Talking about the performance of the government of the day on security, I am sure an average Nigerian of uncommitted mind would readily point out that the country appears to have come under siege laid by different shades of criminal elements across the entire federation. Comparing how safe we felt before the advent of this government and how safe we feel today as a nation would provide the best yardstick for determining President Buhari’s record on security of the nation.
On the fight against corruption, we all have seen how far we have come with the said fight and what the gains are if any. Speaking for myself, corruption cannot be successfully fought through a corrupt means. By that what do I mean? Let me explain. It raises the question; who guards the guard? All these negative signs combine to make discerning citizens disenchanted about the whole anti-corruption war which is incapable of commanding confidence from those who know. President Buhari is thereby called upon to reflect soberly on all these and think more of the verdict of history as he is facing the exit route of presidential power.
Tell me one conviction of significance they have secured in court in the past four years. Instead, the accused got acquittal at the stage of no-case submission. The recent case of a cousin of former President Jonathan is an example, a waste of public funds. Look again at Fayose, so much media trial. They said they have caught a big fish, we were happy and looking forward eagerly for the outcome.
His words: “Government’s claims are laughable and can be compared only to an Ostrich sticking its head in the sand and deluding itself that no one sees it because it has prevented itself from seeing. Facts common to all right thinking Nigerians however tell otherwise. Nigerians were being killed with impunity and the economy has fared as bad, from one of the fastest growing economies in the world and the biggest economy in Africa, to the poverty capital of the world.
