When Goodluck Jonathan accidentally became Nigeria’s president after Yar Adua’s demise in May 2010, his ill-preparedness and unfitness for the lofty assignment associated with the Office of the Presidency was an open secret. Somehow, we excused his inadequacies and assumed that things will improve after some time. We also assumed that he will learn on the job. How so very wrong we were! Now...my biggest grouse with Muhammadu Buhari is that the emotive melodrama that foreshadowed the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency is about to repeat itself. Few weeks to election, what are the cards on the table? I see none. What are his main priorities? I can’t categorically tell. I don’t expect Buhari to make too many promises, but we need to know exactly what he has in mind, and what his plans are. A presidential vision is a collective vision; not a personal one. We have a right to know what that vision is, interrogate it and connect with it. There is no better time than now. Right now, there is no coherent action plan detailing his order of priorities. We cannot afford a costly repeat of the Jonathanian tradition of when-we-get-to-the-bridge leadership. Not anymore. How can we repeat the same mistakes again? saharareporters/2014/12/18/issuesforbuhari-clueless-issueless-government-victoria-ohaeri
