APC – NEXT LEVEL TO WHERE?

They have called it next level. I have not had the time to go through the document but the immediate question is next level to where? You see, if I were part of the strategy team, I think we would have looked a little bit much deeper at the issues, where we failed which is plenty and push out a document that would take just one position that we have performed creditably well and dig deeper. But as it is, it would be difficult to identify that one issue. Is it in deepening of democracy, with the selective obedience to court cases, is it economy with

double digit inflation, high unemployment, poor capacity utilization and a host of others, is it in sports, infrastructure, health or war against corruption? So when you say next level, the question I repeat, next level to where? This election is his to win because PDP is not offering anything better so it will be a case of ‘if you are not going to better my case, let me be where I am’. Buhari should come out as Buhari and talk to us about his plans for his legacy four years. Pushing Osinbajo with his trader moni is not working, it is looking like an advanced and reworked Fayose Stomach infrastructure strategy. Let’s see a next level Buhari, let’s hear a next level Buhari, let’s feel a next level Buhari. Let Buhari come out and stand like the true general he is. Take all the hits, let’s pelt him with tomatoes, let’s shout at him, let’s heal by abusing the living daylight out of him and then, let him hold us and say, ‘I am sorry, we can do this working together’. I am very sure we will look at him once again and work with him. He needs to be a leader NOW. ATIKU – MBOK SELL NNPC

I can’t even wait. Sell the damn thing. Of what use is it if it is running losses and providing financial armory for a few to the detriment of the people? What are we as Nigerians gaining from NNPC being our collective asset? NOTHING! So I am in very strong support of the sale of the thing even though I will agree with Bismark Rewane the jerry-curled economic guru who has pleaded for caution in such a policy. He would not want the corporation sold to a cabal or any of Atiku’s people as the fear is right now. He would want it done like the India style where everybody has a voucher so that a few will now not carry the thing and run away like it is our usual style. For me, let’s go to the stock exchange and limit the number of shares per individual and agree on Board representation on the basis of internationally accepted corporate governance principles. If that is the only thing an Atiku Presidency can achieve, then that just might get my vote. We need less government, it will immediately bring down tension in the political process, demystify public position and truly attract sound minds instead of financial and political mercenaries whose only purpose in government is to control the source of resources and dictate who gets it, when they get it, and how they get it. Na wa.
