WE ARE AT THIS CROSS ROAD———- Funmi Michael Adefolaju.
A society and political gladiator Funmi Michael Adefolaju. has come out to defend the emergency of Tinubu as the best thing to have ever happened to Nigerians which she says ” What gladdens my heart at the emergence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the newly elected president of Nigeria, is the realization that he is not a sophomore on the Nigerian political terrain” she begins in her brief but sensible opinion concerning the leadership of President Bola Hammed Tinubu. .
In her words
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with a deep knowledge and as a recurrence in the socio-political and economic strata of Nigeria, knows what he can do and what he should do. This is most imperative considering his bold announcement of the removal of oil Subsidy. Nigerians should not be oblivious of the fact that President Bola Tinubu is working with an existing budget, inherited from the erstwhile regime of President Muhammed Buhari, with his posture of that of a man who is willing and ready to tackle corruption headlong, he owes the teeming Nigerian youths the conviction that he is the best alternative to the candidacies of Mr. Peter Obi and ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar, therefore he cannot afford to disappoint of fails in this regard. Therefore he must be sincere in his pursuit and aims of resuscitating the comatose Nigerian economy.
If the present government strategy is to double-tax citizens now, and the period to be regarded as time of collective sacrifice, there must be sincere transparency and accountability that will exemplify result oriented actions, to pacify the citizenry sacrificial moments, with expectation of yields that will cushions the straineous impacts, of this current multi taxing approaches of revamping our devastated economy.
It will be most welcoming to Nigerians to see drastic actions being taken by any leader, who is determined and willing to PROSECUTE all the past or present political and government officials, found to have been involved in the process of short-changing Nigerians in the last 16 years.
The above corrective measures with (No plea bargain) exemption to office or age, should be extended to repatriation of their illegal acquisition of wealth, that have been used in real estates in countries such as Dubai, Morocco, Egypt, Cyprus, UK and the USA back to Nigeria, and deployed to soften the hardship that Nigerians have been and still being subjected to .
it is very obvious that Nigerians at home and in the diaspora are not lazy. Sharing cash (irrespective of the amount) to Nigerians will only aggravate the polity rather than bring the expected relief. Setting up functional and responsive ‘Welfare Units’ as obtainable in the European countries in the third tier of government will be of a better result oriented project rather than the management of the #8000;00 palliative been administered through party faithful with no feelings for the welfare of the yet to be identified Nigerians that are considered to be poverty stricken.
If money is to be shared for whatever reason, it should be within the range of 500k-1million Naira to unemployed youths. Some have stollen billions, some trillions. Also Tinubu must lead by example by forfeiting some of his own properties too.
Many banks MDs and top government officials too are culpable, aiding to hide the laundered monies.
To tax me N1,000 for ownership of car is wickedness. Where’s the former Accountant General? What happened to the case. You must get all these criminals for Nigeria to find its feet. That’s the only way.
