In this open letter to the president, Torbah Ben reviews Buhari’s administration and expresses pessimism in the possibility of its success.
Dear President Buhari,
I was tempted to say “Dear Mr president” but I won’t because there’s no time for niceties and courtesy in this hour and I will get to the point quickly.
.
I write to you with the sole intention of making you aware that I am gravely concerned about the manner in which you are governing us. I find many of your decisions detrimental to the interests of the people. I have watched you in the last one year running up and down under the pretext of governance. From day one you were sworn in as number one citizen of this country, it’s been a galore of gaffes and conscious distraction of Nigerians.
As I said earlier that there’s no time, I will go straight to your Democracy Day speech. As expected, you couldn’t mention or point out one visible achievement. Sir, in your so called Democracy Day speech, you said Boko Haram was in charge of 14 local governments when you took over to pilot the affairs of this nation and it was widely reported that the army had recovered most of these LGAs before handed over to you. Why are you now kidding your people Mr president?
You went further and said your government has reduced extravagant spending and yet you spent N64 billion for 30 foreign trips in one year. You travelled abroad 17 times in 2015 and 13 times this year. Sir, do I need to remind you that the budget for presidency is N20 billion more than that of 2015?
In your so called speech, you said your government delivered milestones on security and economy. Which economy are you talking about sir? This deteriorating economy? Which security are you referring us to with all these Fulani herdsmen brouhaha?
.
You showed an amazing excitement when you announced that your government budget process is more transparent than ever. Do I need to remind you the budget was a padded budget? Do I need to remind you that the budget got missing? Do I need to remind Mr president that the budget has different versions?

You said your government rescued two chibok girls and the whole world knows that only one chibok girl and her Boko Haram husband was the only one found. Which other one sir? I was devastated that such was considered an achievement by you. Mr President, may I humbly inform you that I have lost all respect for you as president and my prayer is that the sooner you go, the better. In just one year you have tarnished the image of that noble office and my sympathy lies with the future incumbent who has to restore the image of that office.
Sir, we don’t have the luxury time. We need a President who is ready for work, not distract us with an uninspiring corruption campaign.
I write this on my own as ordinary citizen. I do not belong to any group or organization. I am in lower rank of the ladder.
It’s me.
Torbah Ben.
