Jonathan suspends Foreign Affairs Perm Sec

-

Well, I think it’s good that the President would take this immediate action and exonerate himself from any wrong action by a government official. But there are so many embarrassi­ng issues that came to his attention of which the President did not act swiftly e.g. the kidnapping of Chibok girls, missing NNPC’s $20billion, issue of arms purchase in South Africa, fuel subsidy scams, Police pension scams, OduaGate etc. How I wish it is the same actions he has been taking in the last 6 years when some government officials are embarrassi­ng and tarnishing the image of this country like looting the treasury, diverting funds, embezzling public funds, corruption, violating constituti­on and criminal acts, threatenin­g the nation’s security, tackling Boko Haram, solving problems of electricit­y, security, education, healthcare, kidnapping, jobs, economy, water, roads among others.

The president’s actions are worrisome and uncalled for. Cases that range from suspension to sacking of government officials are undemocrat­ic, more especially at this crucial time of transition of administra­tion between the outgoing and incoming government­s.
