@Chude_ND1 For a setup that is basically his business, this is a very poor setup. Handling lithium batteries and inverters come with real risk such as fire hazard etc. This setup looks poorly designed, and spaced out. No cable management, batteries literally sitting on furnitures.
Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
@General_Somto No matter the turbulence. The fear of falling from the sky is real. The weightlessness and helplessness is real. With my years of flying, I still fear flying and never settled until we land 😅. It’s a terrifying feeling, wouldn’t downplay anyone’s experience.
@ChuksEricE Most of the men of the @PoliceNG have been operating with impunity for so long that the idea of accountability is alien to them. There is no clear respect for authority at any level.
These are the same people given rifles to police our communities. We live in hell.
The most popular slogan on the street of Kano, Kaduna and other Northern blocks today is:
“Peter Obi da Kwankwaso sune masu ceton Arewa”
Don’t ask me for the meaning. Check yourself.
