OF CYNICISM AND SARCASM 1 – by Prof Chris Nwaokobia

I have observed that those some regard as wailing wailers are perhaps so addressed because they appear obsessed with anti-Buhari sentiments. To them all and everything done by this government is wrong. It is not about Nigeria but about ego and revenge. They are waiting to see the government fail and by extension to see Nigeria fail, so they can say 'but we said it' and pride in 'but we warned you'. The truth is, Nigeria under the watch of President Mohammadu Buhari and his team shall grow, prosper and progress to the utter amazement of naysayers.

The truth is that new paradigms and new values in Leadership are being etched on our national canvass such that accountability, decorum, responsible and responsive tendencies in governance shall constitute the basic minimum in governmental program and programmatic.

The truth is that corruption is being fought head on and presumed friends and foes of the present leadership are refunding monies and returning loots. The truth is that whether some consider the war selective or otherwise those being harassed have deprived the Nigerian state of her resources and by extension denied the masses and Country the necessary service and infrastructure that the looted resources were meant for.

The truth is that the multiple questions about the padding of the Appropriation Bill and the repudiation of same obtains because CHANGE is here and the dispensation of 'money to pass budget' over, this underscores the present disposition of the National Assembly to against previous tendencies get the job of cross checking the details of the budget done.

And the truth is that to move forward Nigeria needs very credible opposition with profound and effectual passion for constructive criticism not cynicism and sarcasm. It must be stated without equivocation that the good of nation should and must underline our engagements be you in government or in the opposition.
