2019, DELE MOMODU KNOCKS PRESIDENT BUHARI AS HE PREDICTS VICTORY FOR THE PDP

Buhari

Dele Momodu, a top member of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and Publisher of Ovation Magazine had revealed five elementary behaviours false praise singers around the President have refused to tell him, which has the capacity to truncate his 2019 presidential ambition.


According to an article captioned “what they won’t tell the President”, which was published today, 16 July 2016. The Publisher also lashed Mr. Femi Adesina who is the President’s spokeman.

According to Adesina, majority of Nigerians are happy with the President’s performance, apart from those nicknamed “wailing wailers”, who are mourning.

The Publisher highlighted the following fears:

1. Slow Pace of Work

Nigerians are complaining about the slow pace of work. They want Baba to jazz things up. Not that they expect him to do it all, but they are hoping he can rejig this government and bring in proven and tested Nigerians from any part of the world and whatever political or religious background. It is the prerogative of every government to hone its engine of governance regularly by discarding worn-out batteries, plugs and pumps. You may need to flush dirty engine oil and replace with premium lubricant. It should be obvious that what we have at the moment is far short of the speed and stamina required to take Nigeria to the next level.

2. Northernization of Nigeria

Nigerians are complaining about the seeming Nothernisation of the key sectors of the Nigerian economy and polity. I am personally not very worried about ethnic sentiments as a completely detribalized Nigerian, but there are those who feel very strongly about this and the President may need to allay their reasonable fears of being extinguished and exterminated from the national politics of Nigeria. My honest suggestion is that Baba should come out to tell Nigerians the criteria he uses in arriving at his choices. He should confront his critics with superior logic and the mathematics of appointment distribution.

3. High Cost of Governance

Nigerians are complaining about the high cost of governance especially in this era of dwindling national fortunes. Many are telling us that we persuaded them to vote APC, because we flaunted the credentials of Buhari as a frugal and simple man not susceptible to frivolous spending or profligacy. They are taunting us that they have seen no evidence of the reduction in the extravagant spending on presidential jets and the upkeep of government personnel and their families.

4. Directionless Economy

Nigerians are wondering what direction the economy is headed with the incessant free-fall of the naira despite all efforts at arresting the kamikaze plunge. Added to this is the deregulation of the price of petrol and the pains being felt by these twin policies can only be described as untold hardship.

While Nigerians are highly impressed that Baba is fighting looters to standstill, they want to know what is happening to all the humongous cash already recovered. Many States are still in financial mess, unable to pay their workers.

5. Agitation for Nigeria’s Break up

Nigerians are also talking about the spate of agitations for the breakup of the Nigerian State, especially the renewed call by the pro-Biafra groups of South East Nigeria to carve out an Igbo nation.



While we may not understand the exact mission of the Niger Delta Avengers, one of the most lethal militant groups in Nigeria today, it is not likely to be too far from that of the Biafrans ultimately.
