The Buhari administration has been fighting corruption since it came to power although, the president has been accused of sheltering corruption himself.
The inability of the Buhari administration to fix the economy has earned the country the top spot as the world's headquarters for extreme poverty. You can also talk about insecurity and other areas the Buhari government failed to improve. Yet Nigerians have been praying!
So has prayers really improved anything at all? Has it fix the leadership issues we've had to deal with since Nigeria became a nation? Irrespective of your position on this important subject, Senator Shehu Sani thinks the approach and mentality needs to change.
Most times the Poor are told to pray for those in the position of power,when realistically it’s the poor that need to pray for themselves.— Senator Shehu Sani (@ShehuSani) August 28, 2019
He said in a tweet that the poor whose value is only recognized at the polls during elections, have for years been told to pray for elective officers to do the right things. He however, wonders who is praying for the poor who not only had to endure being treated like pawns, but still in their misery, had to pray for those they cued under the scorching sun to elect.
Recent protests and calls for self defense are believed to be signs that Nigerians have lost confidence in their leaders. Former minister of external affairs, Mr Bolaji Akinyemi, said in a recent interview with Tribune, that the recent calls for a revolution is a clear message that Nigerians have been pushed too far, and that political elites had better brace for what's coming.
