Open Letter to President Buhari from a Concerned OAU Student

07:58:00 0
Dear Sir,
Buhari-Swear-in-abuja
ON THIS YEAR DEMOCRACY DAY AND AFTER A YEAR IN OFFICE, WHERE DOES THE FUTURE LIES FOR NIGERIANS?
I have been constrained to write you through the media because I do not have an alternative way of reaching you and making my opinions known on this topic, which I think is equally shared by many Nigerians of my generation and conscious elders irrespective of ethnic, political or religious differences.
Sir, let me use this medium to officially congratulate you on your generally chorused victory given to you by Nigerians like myself in the last General Election2015.
The nationwide spontaneous jubilations that welcomed your announcement clearly shows the faith, the hope and the belief that Nigerians like myself have in your leadership prowess.
Sir, I must as a matter of honesty confess that the image that stuck in me about Buhari haven read about you from Nigeria political history and heard in the same vein from elders who are old enough to access your then 1983-1985 Buhari/Idiagbon military regime was that of, no-nonsense character, straight I-mean-it talker, who meant yes and vice versa; and the hope that the God sent deliverer has finally come. This impression I believe was equally shared by many other Nigerians.
Sir, and truly you came with the tone and promises of a Deliverer, to rescue the largest Black man nation from its relegated and lost glory, to put hope and smile on Nigerians faces and joyful new song on the lips of the ever-expectant common men.
Your electioneering promises testifies to this as you promised to:
Reduce petrol pump price from N87 to N45, create three million jobs per year, equate $1 to N1, give N5,000 stipend to unemployed youths, provide one meal daily to pupils nationwide, fix all our transportation networks, curb corruption and excesses in the management of our government, among others. Little did Nigerians like myself know that these were only lies under the emblem of propaganda, so far.
Sir, permit me to use the analogy of football world in evaluating your administration so far.
You are the coach of the team (Nigeria). You have four matches to play. You have played one.
I must be fair and honest enough to say you have lost your first match Sir, your first match which is to give hope and summary of what to expect in the remaining three matches.
Sir, to me, all we have under the released analysis and lists of your one year achievements are only match statistics in form of possession, dribbling skills, long and short pass analysis, offsides, among others.
You failed to score a goal in the match and give hope to the fans(Nigerians), as this is what the fans are better interested in and not the possession points.
Sir, as a strong believer of the philosophy that “criticisms against your work for you to do better are better than praises for what has already been achieved” and this is the true definition of Democracy and Opposition in democracy.
It is on this note I took my pen to pour out my heart and opinion about your administration so far.
ON THE FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL
I chose this firstly because this is what Nigerians generally share in common.
While the idea and reasons for the removal is hearable, the time and under the conditions (infrastructures) in which it was removed is inhumane. This is the highest increment in fuel pump price by any Nigerian government with a N59 increment; on the struggling masses when most States are still owing far above five months of salaries and N18,000 is still the minimum wage?
Moreover, as far as I know as a conscious youth who has always been following Nigeria political and economy state and the world at large;
Removal of subsidy is a step by step process, properly educate and orientate the public, proper palliatives must have been put in place to cushion its effects, pass an act of National Assembly to deregulate the downstream; among instead of imposing unforseen hardships on the masses.
ON THE NATIONS ECONOMY
On Friday May 20th, 2016, Dr. Yemi Kale, the Statistician General of the Federation and head of the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that Nigeria’s economy had not grown in the first quarter of the year but had rather shrunk to 0.36 percent, the worst contraction in 25 years!
The announcement was followed by various reactions, with pundits pointing at this or the other as being the cause of this setback.
Sir, to me, this is caused by the inability of your player on finance wing to manage the economy properly and you as the coach too to woo investors into the country, as most ones on ground before are already packing with gross retrenchment of their workers.
I watched and heard how you talked about corruption that is on its ravaging velocity in most of the World Summit for World leaders while investors are there sitting and watching.
What do we expect?
Other world leaders are busy talking about the positive side of their country while we are good in describing how corrupt our people are and always blaming the past administration.
The president should focus on marketing his plans and policies when he travels abroad.
ON THE FULANI’S HERDSMEN
Mr. President, your response to the killings by herdsmen in the middle-belt and the recent Ekiti killings has been nothing to write home about. That is because there has been nothing to write by way of response from you. The herdsmen were in a report were said to be the world’s 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world but your government and you in particular appear to pretend like they are not doing all the killings they are doing. Agatu is only the latest in the bloodshed. Something needs to get done and you need to communicate more on such killings. This is what governments that value human life do.
ON THE INFRASTRUCTURES
Sir, the power sector among others is been abated daily with most part of the country been unable to boast of six hours of electricity daily.
The ever sufficient potholes on our roads are still there on most of our Federal roads with most of our roads still an express way to death.
Drinkable water is still a problem in many parts of the country as most Nigerians do not have access to drinkable water.
ON THE CORRUPTION FIGHT
Sir, while I must commend your administration for the real fight against corruption so far and the recent Raymond Omatseye, Ex-NIMASA Boss that bags five years imprisonment, I must still say you need to show more trustworthy in the fight by making it not to look selective as it wants to seem. There are also prolific looters in your team with chains of looted funds dangling around their neck.
ON OUR DEMOCRACY
I will like to enjoin Mr. President to improve on his ability to tolerate opposition and bear criticisms. This is what makes true Democracy.
Sir, against the reality you succeeded, some things have changed but the bottom line remains the same; Nigerians are still lamenting and groaning under the weight of fuel scarcity, this seems like a permanent feature these days, power supply has arguably gotten worse or at least stayed the same. We can talk about the great things your administration has put in place since May 29, 2015 but ultimately, if those things haven’t changed the reality of life of the average Nigerian or look like they are about to change that reality, Nigerians like myself have a reason to question the change if it is not a chain.
We have heard enough of the atrocities been carried out under the last administration.
Dear President, by all means you must never forget the faces of those Nigerians you met on your campaign trail. If you fail them, they will have lost faith, not just in you but in their belief and hope that Nigeria can indeed be better. The reason is because you were expected to be the foundation of a much better Nigeria.
Mr. President, wherever they are, you must call the best of our country to help deliver this change. Do not forget to weed out those who led us to where we are. As this are the attribute of a good coach.
Thinking in a democratic setting you can make the change happen alone is to not understanding the fact democracy requires all the parts of the machine working to move forward.
Sir, in conclusion lest I bore you with the abundance of my heartfelt griefs and grievances, let me say there is no time.
This is not a tone or note of impatience. It is another reminder of the tickling clock that says _”what you have to do, do quick”.
Sir, you still have three matches more to change the game as a good coach which I revered you to be.
Give the fans, the Nigerians, goals and tangible points and a reason to smile and see hope in the country.
Mr. President, I look forward to write in a satisfactory tone when next I put up my opinion in a writeup like this to you. Let NIGERIANS see the future with you.
Mr. President, Happy Democracy Day 2016
GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

OAU :Probe VC Student Tells President Buhari

00:01:00 0

Hundreds of students of Obafemi Awolowo University on Friday asked President Muhammadu Buhari administration to probe the activities of the Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Bamitale Omole.

The students passed the message to the President through the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who was at the university.They also bombarded the minister with
requests that the Federal Government
should ensure decent hostels for students
on the campus.

The minister was at OAU to deliver the
distinguished guest lecture, titled ‘Nexus
between corruption and
underdevelopment of Nigeria’ at the
University’s Faculty of Arts.

The students had staged series of protest
against poor condition of their hostels
which led to the closure of the school by
the management late last year.

“Our halls of residence are in bad shape
and my colleagues are saying probe Omole
(VC) and so on,” said one of the students
allowed to ask the minister a question.
“It is not only at the national level that the
government should concentrate its fight
against corruption, it should come to
universities and we welcome President
Buhari’s war against corruption on OAU
campus.”

The entire students present applauded the
students, while the minister promised to
meet with the VC to discuss the issue of
students’ union leaders under suspension.
The minister urged Nigerians to support
the government in the fight, saying
corruption had already started fighting
back.

3 OAU Students Union Leaders Banned For 14 Semesters

10:00:00 0
Three students of the Obafemi Awolowo University are reportedly being punished for assaulting and threatening a professor.
OAU
Authorities of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, have suspended three student union leaders for allegedly assaulting a professor.
The students are the President of the student body, Omotayo Akande who bagged six semesters (three years); PRO, Emmanuel Ojedokun – four semesters (two years); and Secretary General, Seun Oketooto – four semesters (two years).
The trio are all final year students and they would have started their examinations in the next two months.
Students of the university, however, argued that the suspension of their leaders have to do with their recent agitation for better welfare conditions on campus.
It would be recalled that students of the OAU had staged a day peaceful protest, lecture boycott and later media campaign against the poor state of infrastructure in the university.
Subsequently after the students agitation for better welfare, the authorities of OAU shut down the university by declaring a mid-semester break which lasted for about a month.
The school had since the closure of the school also suspended student unionism on the campus.
It was further learnt that some hall (hostel) executives ?in the university are currently facing a panel for their roles in the protest against poor welfare on the campus.
The suspended OAU Student Union President, Mr. Omotayo Akande, confirmed the suspension in a statement aimed at dousing confusion among students.
Akande, who is a 500-level Chemical Engineering student said, “We will like to note that the union is currently examining the situation and will try to adopt the best approach to handle the victimisation and achieve not only our reinstatement but also ensure that the cause for a better welfare condition is achieved in the university.”
He claimed that none of the suspended students had any record of impoliteness, adding that the protest was embarked upon after diplomacy failed.
Meanwhile, the Alliance of Nigerian Students Against Neo-Liberal Attacks has faulted the suspension of the students.
The group described the action as not only escapist but also undemocratic.
It added, “We wish to state that we strongly condemn the victimisation of student activists by the authorities under any guise; and we advise the OAU management to desist from such a vindictive action.”
