“These repeated calamitous scenarios would have been avoided had the government risen to the occasion.” Insecurity Insurgency Politics

in keeping their election pledges. To say the least, politicians in Nigeria ignore many of their campaign promises and go away with it unchallenged. Hence, they continue to thumb their chest and crow in public space with shoulder-high over faceless achievements. Also, politicians speak about problems facing the nation as if it was created by unseen forces and should be solved by the same.

Notwithstanding the above, the Senate president’s remark triggered a disturbing impression that we live in abnormal times, where human lives mean nothing for those who kill in the name of religion or for their industry as noted by the Senate president. Of course, to worsen the issue, government that is supposed to maintain law and order in the society is helpless. What that succinctly suggests is that the ruling government has failed Nigerians woefully.

Under such guise, to arrest the convener of the Katsina protest, is the government indirectly saying that citizens no longer have the rights to protest or be listened to? What the Buhari government should bear at the back of its mind is that, the longer the insurgency persists, the harder it would take to resolve it. Also, the senseless and repeated massacres of lives and destruction of property should give the government and its functionaries at both state and federal levels sleepless nights.

Of late, the search for a messiah has thrust politics into the hands of cohort of senile and weak in thought leaders. Hence you hear the President speak thus to service chiefs over the continued deteriorating security situation across the country. President Buhari said, “…everyone is doing his best but his best is not good enough”.
