Insecurity: Buhari is fiddling while Nigeria burns

By Olu Fasan
IT was said that Emperor Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Similar charges can be laid against President Muhammadu Buhari. His contemptuous and defiantly arrogant response to crippling insecurity and instability in Nigeria leaves no other conclusion: he’s fiddling while Nigeria burns!
Let’s face it: Nigeria is in turmoil. Buhari himself told the new service chiefs: “We are in a state of emergency.” The Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (retd) said: “Make no mistake, our nation is bleeding.” The Senate declared: “Nigeria is under siege.” The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, added his voice: Nigeria faces a “very difficult situation”.

One of the umbrella bodies of herdsmen in Nigeria, the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, has urged security agencies to deal with “terrorists killing” Fulani herders in the South-East.
Spokesman for the group, Saleh Alhassan, disclosed this while reacting to the killing of one of the commanders of Indigenous People of Biafra gunned down by security operatives last Saturday.
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association, has vowed to avenge the death of herdsmen in Anambra State.
National Secretary of the association, Engr. Saleh Alhassan, in a statement on Thursday, vowed that Nnamdi Kanu, members of the proscribed southeast militia group will pay dearly for the mindless massacre of not less than 50 herdsmen recently.
The statement said, “So far, more than 50 herders have been killed in the South-East in the last one month, we have the record and the Igbo terrorists led by Nnamdi Kanu will pay for everybody they killed.”
Alhassan said the Igbos have failed to remember that they were saved in the North during the civil war.

Tension and beating of war drums in Nigeria under the political leadership of a president who progressively fades away from public arena in preference for issuing of incongruent and incoherent press statements from his media minders, has reached dizzying height.
There is now a unanimity of agreement from across political spectrum that President Muhammadu Buhari has not only failed but has manifested unambiguous signals that he does not want to drive the process of eradicating Nigeria of these threats of war. He seems to be the character blowing the firestorm of ethno religious conflagration through his actions, inactions, ambiguous and incoherent public statements.
