But millions concluded that rather than have that inspiring and soul-lifting effect on Nigerians, President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2021 Independence Day speech was not only insipid, it also offered only bland reassurance in a country that is on tenterhooks owing to misgovernance.
“As Buhari names the unknown National Assembly member, our utmost appeal to him is to help Nigerians in naming those funding the murderous Fulani Herdsmen and Boko Haram Terrorists that are oppressing, maiming, killing and raping his people in the North, and the people of the South and the Middle Belt with impunity.”
He urged the president to take decisive action against herdsmen that were creating challenges for farming and farmers across the country. A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party , Chief Olabode George, and a South West socio-political group, Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum, are united in their submissions that the speech failed to touch on critical issues of importance and those challenging the country.
THE National Organising Secretary of Afenifere, Abagun Kole Omololu, who described the address as a familiar sing-song of Mr. Buhari, whose blame game did not just start now, but an echo of his military incursion into governance, said the president would have done well for himself and the country by naming identified sponsors of the separatists agitators, as well as the middlemen that are pivotal to the rise of prices of food.
