If Buhari Must Take All The Blame Then Let Us Do Away With The States And Local Government System Of Governance By Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah

Make una lead us well, No let this nation to fall inside well. Mr. President
Lead us well, If you be Governor, Govern us well, If you be Senator, Senate am well- Lyrics African China ” Mr President”

Them talk am say if you too tay for inside toilet you go begin see fly wey wear iron shirt. This parable is self-explanatory, it is unfortunate that the President has prolonged his silence and inactions that now he becomes a subject of a joke by every Tom, Dick and Harry. Funny enough I am not a spokesman to Buhari so he can as well defend himself.

But since we have all decided to be mad then let us all be mad. In recent weeks Nigerians have been heaping blames on Buhari for all the crisis currently bedevilling the country. Everybody is now a prophet of doom, casting aspersions on Buhari as if Buhari has confiscated the kidneys of Nigerians.

You do not beat a child and expect her not to cry, it is very well expected and you must allow the child to cry.

But what pisses me off is that our governors have joined hopeless Nigerians in casting aspersions on the president. What effrontery and deceitful character is that?

What morality does an executive governor have to point his fingers at the presidency? The problem we have today in our country are the followers of these politicians who are carried away with fanatical following without questioning the ethics and morality of their leaders.

I would come hard on the Governors especially of the opposition who have decided not to mind their business and want to capitalize on gullible Nigerians that heap all the blames on the Federal Government without holding their Local government Chairmen and State Governor’s responsible for their immediate woes.

These gullible Nigerians are ignorant of the fact that the full tiers of government which is Federal, State and Local Government are into collective sharing.

It is like family inheritance, as the month ends everybody gathers in Abuja to collect their share, these shameless Governors after collecting their share and cleaning their mouths now come to town and cast aspersions on Daddy(Buhari) meanwhile their own collection has been hijacked for their selfish purposes.

Look at the Benue State Governor shouting on top of his voice that Buhari is this, Buhari is that …what effrontery by a Governor that can not meet his own responsibilities in paying salaries as at when due. Pensioners; dat one na no go area for Benue State.

A simple Google search on Benue and workers salaries is like wahala and bicycle, Tom and Jerry. They don’t even mix and yet he comes out to cast aspersions on Buhari.

Na everyday NLC dey beg oga Ortom to pay workers salaries. It is very sad that Nigerians are not holding their governors directly responsible for their woes, the last time I checked the Federal government is undergoing multiple projects in all the States of the Federation.

Can Delta State residents ask Dr Ifeanyi Okowa how many projects are currently going on in the 25 local governments in Delta State? No more oil companies in Delta State, the youths are restless and roaming about no work to do, even if there was work to do they don’t want to even work. Is that the manipulations of Buhari?

Today if you do not have any dealings with the State Government then Asaba is not for you, just because Delta residents are quiet does not mean that Delta State is doing well.

Look at Rivers State, Cult gangs, deadly militias are on the prowl, yet Wike would not close his mouth when it comes to Buhari and the Federal Government. All these Governors should come out and tell us what they have done with the billions they have received thus far as Federal allocation and internally generated revenue.

For crying out loud the huge amount of resources these states have received in the last four years should be enough to start a mini developed country. But because they are used to just paying salaries and signing MOUs why won’t they blast the Federal Government?

My classmates that fondly praise my State Governor have refused to come to Benin City for a reunion, they describe the City as Sambissa, yet they won’t ask the State Governor why it is like that?

Should we talk about the local Government councils? Even the council chairmen themselves know they are all “FRAUD”. We accept the fact or not they receive millions monthly, they should tell us how they spend it to the last kobo.

It’s like a family that has a Billionaire as the father, a Multi-Millionaire as the first son and Millionaires as siblings.

The first son is complaining that the father is stingy and has refused to help, meanwhile, he has himself refused to help anyone despite he’s a Multi-Millionaire, and his siblings are angry that he’s more stingy than the father yet these siblings can not spare a penny from their millions to save a soul.

How can a state that receives billions monthly complain of lack of money? If you tell these governors to learn from Lagos State they will say I am being sentimental and political.

Do you know that some local government projects in Lagos are way more than some projects in some of these oil-producing states? Look at the bridge that the beautiful Bayelsa councillor constructed for her constituency that the whole world is applauding, if our local government chairmen replicate such laudable projects across the country will they die?

We Nigerians are funny people, I swear down. We leave the direct custodians that we can see face to face and give a dirty slap for mismanaging our collective patrimony and shout Buhari.

Let us assume Buhari is deaf and won’t hear us, is my local government chairman deaf? what about my governor is he deaf? It is the same money these people share, the only difference is the percentage, I mean they should tell us what they are doing with their own percentage.

Look at IPOB and its leadership, the followers can not even question the running of the administration by Nnamdi Kanu but yet they want Buhari to give an account of his stewardship to them, see finish na cos am.

Look at the other man that calls himself Sunday Igboho that says he’s championing Oduduwa Nation see how he talks with no single decorum, can that one’s followers question him? Yet they insult Buhari upadan.

Mad people everywhere.

Hypocritical followers that are brainwashed and manipulated by deceitful leaders. May God heal the leaders and open the eyes of the led.

See if we must blame Buhari then we should take the bold step and ask for the scraping of State and Local Government as a system of governance.
