BETWEEN GMB & GEAJ? While the Jonathanias cannot distinguish their boss from renowned cerebral entities like Martins Luther King Jnr, Nelson Mandela and even our Lord Jesus Christ, they have continued to rant and rabble-rouse as they leave issues by refusing to highlight his proposed ‘’TRANSFORMATION’’ agenda and the impact to a common Nigerian. The GEAJ apologists have only told us the sudden increase in GDP which according to them has led to Nigeria being the largest economy in Africa. Needless do I accentuate the fact that a country’ GDP does not measure the environmental impact of growth, nor sustainability. Though a ‘Health Economist’, nevertheless a good economist will attest to the fact that it’s possible that GDP is growing up but median income going down and poverty rate increasing. Hence, the criticism of GDP as a flawed metric of economic growth by Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz. Indeed, Nigeria’s problem never started with GEAJ, but further aggravation of the economy and the infliction of pains on the masses rather than amelioration by this administration cannot be quick to be dispelled. The over one million internally displaced persons had their own share of the woes; this will undeniably deny their children access to basic education. The drama behind the captured Chibok girls still lingers in our memoirs, even with the hope of them returning to their parents fading away as recently admitted by the GEAJ government. The recent pronouncement by the Minister of Power that power generation and transmission has dropped to 2000MW calls for serious concern, despite the huge investment in the power sector. The commercialization of education and lack of basic infrastructure in our learning institutions show the level of gross incompetence of the administration, just to mention a few. As of today, most Nigerians would agree with me that presidential contest is between GEAJ and GMB. We might not have found an angelic saviour, yet we have been provided with the next best alternative. GMB, popularly call ‘MAI GASKIYA’ (the Custodian of Truth), has been birthed for the fourth consecutive time on a rescue mission. A man whose integrity and reputation has not been soiled by the murky waters of Nigeria’s politics, a man who believes stealing is analogous to corruption. Little wonder because of his increasing acceptance, he had been painted to be ‘Religious Bigot and a ‘Semi Illiterate Jackboot’ by those who have refused to account for the ‘’Missing or Unremitted’’ $20 billion federation account. As part of their plot to resist common sense revolution, they call him an old man, while they fail to realize that those who governed India and led her to one of the best twenty (20) economies through their policies are octogenarians. They fail to realize that the common man has preference for a secondary school certificate holder who has integrity and can give them electricity and security to a PhD holder who cannot preserve their territorial integrity, give them quality education and security. IT IS TIME FOR NIGERIANS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HOPE AND DESPAIR, BETWEEN ACCOUNTABILITY AND LOOTING, BETWEEN LEADERSHIP AND RULER SHIP, BETWEEN A VISIONARY AND VISIONLESS LEADER, BETWEEN CLUEFUL AND CLUELESS LEADER, BETWEEN MASS EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT AND ULTIMATELY BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS. I agree with a writer who said we need GMB more than he needs us. So NIGERIANS give us GMB/OSINBAJO…Sai Buhari ! Sai Janara!! Sai Mai Gaskiya!!!
