Opinion!! Was President Buhari Visit To America A Flop? by Reddit: 6:03pm On Jul 23, 2015 |
I recently asked myself a thought-provoking question today.What was the recent visit by our president to America able to achieved? To be honest, for a moment I couldn't give a concrete well thought answer to that question. Below are some of the things I thought our president failed to achieved No assurance with the US support for arms, equipment and intelligence to accelerate ending the insurgency in the NE No concrete economy policy and plan (This was evident during the CNN Amanpour interview when asked about the economy) No clear cut ways of how to recover looted and stolen money by some of our rogue both serving and past politicians. Not a single well documented partnership deal was sealed in any area. Was it infrastructure development, power, education, health, technology and services? Nothing Didn’t discuss anything about the AGOA (African growth and Opportunity Acts) Extension and Enhancement Act. To me this is one key and vita area he would had brought to the table as Nigeria being the power house in Africa development. Apart from the 'no to gay marriage' which they are using to score cheap political points that wasn't part of the official agenda in the first place, please what other things the recent visit able to achieved? Oh well, maybe he went to thank the America for helping him win the election. See the below quote during his meeting with John Kerry the secretary of state PRESIDENT BUHARI: Thank you very much, (inaudible). I’m very pleased to get this opportunity to thank the Secretary of State because his visit to Nigeria, which he’s just referred to, since his visit seemed like a friend to Nigeria. As the United States’ message sent to the previous administration was clean and clear that the United States would not accept anything extraconstitutional, that prepared the minds of Nigerians to back us and to arrive where we are today. Nigeria will remain very grateful to the United States, to the President, and to the Secretary of State. He saw the president then, he saw the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, and he saw the opposition. And by the day, the United States maintained pressure on the government, the law enforcement agencies, and the election officials to make sure that the election was free and fair. 109 Likes 19 Shares |

Were you expecting several F16s to fly behind the presidential jet to Abuja? Anyways Buhari was invited by the US and he has gotten commitment from one of our allies to help fight Boko Haram and return stolen funds. 90 Likes 9 Shares |

Every patriotic Nigerian will admit that the President Journey to the USA was more of a National embarrassment and a complete flop. He had nothing concrete to discuss with Obama. Instead of keeping quiet, he mis-called his party name "All Nigeria People's Congress (ANPC)". He couldn't secure Obama's commitment in our fight against terrorism nor even discussed policy issues, and give proposal to Obama on how they can help him achieve success in his policies (perhaps he has no policy). He had nothing absolutely to say. Wonder why Obama left him to Secretary of State John Kerry and travelled to Kenya? Because he realised that the man he invited is a complete joke. Obama means business May God Help Us 347 Likes 37 Shares |

@reddit you didn't see anything good with the president wooing investors with a "business friendly" policy from government? When you see investors trooping into the country for business exploration you will still count that as an aftermath of his predecessor's policies. Sentiments kill wisdom and objectivity, honestly And I wonder, if someone comes to you the first time to demand something sensitive, you would give them a straight yes without giving room for more negotiation and cooperation on the issue? It's called diplomatic talks OP, stop being sentimental and give your country some support 35 Likes |

Obiagelli: My lady, have you seen what it takes to defend a government with no clear blueprint, no policy directives nor 21st century initiative on how to solve Nigeria's problem. At least Goodluck Jonathan used technology to block civil/public service large scale financial corruption while Dr Iweala built institutions and brought transparency by publishing what accrues to three tiers of Government. Nigerians can be better 87 Likes 8 Shares |
