| President Buhari & Vice President Osinbajo. |
In its desperation to hang on to power
despite its abysmal failure so far, the All Progressives' Congress (APC) and
the Presidency, have resorted to trading with the lure of 2023 presidency,
promising both the South East and South West respectively of the 2023
presidency in exchange for votes. Giving out two promises has exposed the
insincerity and dubious intention of the Buhari-led Federal Government with the
people of the South-East and South-West geopolitical zones with empty promises
of bequeathing power to the two zones at the same time in 2023. This is why
Nigerians cannot take the APC and the Buhari presidency serious any
longer, as we prepare for the 2019 election.
Speaking on behalf of President Buhari
in Owerri last week, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss
Mustapha, told the APC campaign that the President would hand over the reins of
power to a South-Easterner, while calling on the people to support Mr.
President. Meanwhile, the Vice President also told leaders of the South-West to
support the re-election of President Buhari so as to get the presidency in
2023. Two principal officers of the same government cannot be fooling Nigerians
with vainglorious promises all in the name of re-election. Such discordant
tunes by the first and second citizens of our dear country have exposed lack of
synergy, and display of double standard and double-speak by chieftains of a
government that has continued to display wanton desperation to hold on to power
at all cost in the face of monumental failure.
How can the president be promising
South-Easterners the Presidency when his Vice President is also promising the
South-Westerners same position in 2023, all in the name of 2019 re-election?.
This is a clear show of deceit, desperation, crass insincerity and
hypocrisy of the highest order. This is a clarion call on the South-Easterners
not to trust such carrot being dangled before them as it has become obvious
that this government neither fulfills promises nor keeps any covenant. The same
government cannot promise the Igbos and Yorubas at the same time if it were
sincere about the shape of politics of 2023 presidency. This government has an
uncommon reputation for deceit, lies, insincerity and hypocrisy especially when
it has to do with its 2019 re-election bid.
Nigerians are beginning to see through
the pretensions and dubiety of purpose of the Buhari-led Federal Government; a
government that has shown its incapacitation and leadership atrophy in the last
three years and crippled the fabric of our collegiate solidarity and unity
through nepotism and cronyism. The president cannot on the one hand be playing
God by decreeing which zone it intends to bequeath the reins of power, while
his Vice President on the other hand is also promising his South-West zone of
same position. This is a typical feature of power hawkers, in their desperation
to hoodwink buyers to patronise their morbid products. The Nigerian public must
wake up to this double-speak and vote out this inconsistent government in 2019.
It is a responsibility that every Nigerian must buy into in order to save the
country from further maladies and misgovernance.
