Opinion: The Missing Gap In the Pantami-Dabiri Feud, By Zainab Suleiman Okino
This should be a given and as a matter of responsibility on the part of government, and not left to the whims and caprices of individual appointees.
Much as I detest Abike Dabiri Erewa’s gender recourse to explain Pantami’s alleged deed, because it is both escapist and cheap, the problem is neither with her nor with Patami, but the system that threw both of them up. Truth be told; there is no cohesion and coordinated approach to governance and there is no rallying force or command structure that can take charge of challenges that come about in governance and managing high-calibre people like the duo, as in this case.
Dabiri-Erewa is bigger than the attitude she portrayed; she should have explored other means to get office accommodation for her Commission, instead of going personal and even low with minister Pantami, because come to think of it, Diaspora and Communication are poles apart; the former should actually have been under Foreign Affairs.
Again, quite often, government makes pronouncements without commitment. This should be a given and as a matter of responsibility on the part of government, and not left to the whims and caprices of individual appointees. Before governance is turned into an amusement for twitter users, there should rather be strategic collaboration and partnership under an umbrella authority that coordinates activities. Coordination is key, and the lack of it is an invitation to chaos. Government cannot afford to abdicate its responsibility and expect things to go well.
