Buhari: Seven months after

A cursory glance at the record of performance of the APC Government in the last seven months will reveal that there is fiscal stability which has effectively fostered   rapid economic growth; security; fighting corruption to standstill; educational development and the transformation of the public service sector. No wonder, therefore, Nigeria now has a set of new rulers with a clear vision of moving the country forward, and who also firmly believe in adhering to the principles of democracy.

The main man at the helms of affairs in the country, President Muhamadu Buhari appreciates that Nigerian public always expect absolute perfection from their leaders, believing that only the best is good enough for them. This explains why he has always been directing the affairs of his administration towards achieving maximum output from the combined efforts he and his aides are putting in to achieve long-term results. That was why he has been working assiduously to deliver on his inaugural speech promise of running a government that will make life easier for all Nigerians.
To President Buhari and his political associates, the beauty of democracy is inherent in its propensity to openly allow issues to be critically analysed before actions are taken. He is fully conversant with the tenets of democracy, and has so far used it as a guide in all his undertakings and dealings with officials of his government or stakeholders in his party.

Now, after six months in the saddle, administering one of the biggest and most complex democratic nations in Africa, President Buhari was able to successfully overcome all teething problems and has continued to confidently enable the ship of Nigerian state stay afloat. He has undoubtedly shown that he is an able leader, coasting to victory ill all his endeavours by actually making improvements that may eventually mark his giant footprints on the sands of time. In fact, President Buhari is currently standing tall by making decision or investments that are beneficial to present and future generations.
Despite the fact that President Buhari inherited a shabby and expended economy which preceded the dwindling oil fortune; he has steadily ensured that the finance of the country is in good shape. He had from the onset taken practical measures to remove the bottlenecks that hinder smooth economic growth and good governance by introducing Treasury Single Account regime that blocked all loopholes and leakages for wastage and embezzlement.  This is quite instructive because it is only when the country’s finance is healthy a conducive atmosphere could be permitted for executing programmes that will make Nigeria work for all.
Nigeria is now headed for greatness, with broad and all-inclusive policies put in place to energise the economy. President Buhari has achieved reduction in the cost of running the government by pruning down the number of unessential ministries and reducing the scope of his cabinet so as to make its members more effective and purposeful.

However, these commendable measures taken to remedy the vices that plague the economy are not without their drawbacks. They have presented temporary difficulties to the masses which would certainly ebb with the passage of time. Nigerians who are now grumbling or crying for a respite will definitely laugh aloud when their conditions of living began to change appreciably.
President Buhari came to power when the nation was facing daunting socio-economic challenges, as a result of the action or inactions of the PDP government. That was one of the reasons his administration has chosen to be slow deliberately in its actions before unveiling its developmental plans for the country. It is often said that impulsiveness and haste are the pastime of Devil, which eventually defeat the purpose of human beings when they attempt to attain any feat.

  President Buhari’s government may be slow, but is progressing steadily on its principled course. President Buhari is resolute that his style of leadership must be different from the past; it must be a complete departure from what had obtained from the previous administration.
Effective leadership is not only about emphasising or promoting ordinary people, their lives or interests; it is generally defined by concrete results in doing so and by positive achievements that touch peoples’ lives. Despite the numerous challenges facing him, President Buhari has devised sure means of overcoming them within a short span of six-month in his four-year tenure and is really struggling to victory.

Without doubt, President Buhari has really demonstrated great skills in governing a difficult country like Nigeria.  Nevertheless, in the past six months President Buhari has demonstrated sufficient moral, intellectual and political level-headedness which have gone a long way to assure Nigerians that he and his colleagues in the government are fully determined to serve them better and assist them realise their over all ambitions. He has also continued to maintain and demonstrate his commitment to tackle the tough challenges of governing Nigeria, working with relentless positive actions to ensure that Nigerians are truly proud of their country and willing to serve it diligently. Therefore, with President Buhari at the helms of Nigeria’s affairs, the future could only get better.
