We have consistently on to the belief that PMB will leave Nigeria better than he met her, but we're not being wistful and presumptuous, should things remain the way they seem around the power corridor.
Our optimism may not subsume the deafening cynicism of critics and naysayers. Every so often we are treated with policy programmatic that appear not extensively researched, the fuel price increase came as an end to the fuel subsidy scam, so we were made to believe, but less than 6months after, fuel subsidy is back because the policy wasn't deeply interrogated.
Now, the uncertainty in the FOREX regime has compelled the return if subsidy so we do not pay more than 145 naira for a litre of fuel. Remembering the fears expressed by critics of PMB, and some dyed in the wool supporters of PMB like Yours Sincerely when the price increase came about.
We are confronted with another policy programmatic that appears profound on paper, the need to borrow $29.96b dollars to fund infrastructure and other critical sectors of the economy. Nice one, one would say, but yet we have the same reservation that the intended 500b naira social relief payout to the have - nots throws up until something is done pretty fast and effectively too to stem the rate of inflation in the land, more money in the system will mean more inflation, more recession, more abandoned contracts and more poverty.
Our president must re-jig his cabinet and bring on board patriots with penchant for research, he needs men who must interrogate all available economic normative and narratives for good of Our Country.
Our president does not need YES MEN who laugh when they are not tickled but men who are genuinely concerned and interested in helping him leave a profound Legacy.
