OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUHARI

Title: DON'T PASS THE BUCK SIR!!!

written by: Dr Theophilus Aimiebenomon

Over the past one week, I have had a challenging task to ponder, cogitate, consider, deliberate, entertain, perpend and ruminate over the 2016 Nigerian National Budget presented by President Muhammadu Buhari and the hullabaloo that subsequently greeted the budget proposal.
And I have drawn up the following conclusions without any political bias:

1) President M. Buhari, as the President of Nigeria should know that the buck stops on his desk especially when it comes to matters as sensitive as the Budget.

2) President Buhari cannot claim complete ignorance of the irregularities and alleged padding of the budget and then shift the blame to his subordinates

3) How irresponsible can a President be to append his signature on a document without first reading through it, especially a document as sensitive as the Budget, which can either Make or Mar his government if found to be suspicious of any criminal intent, like what's happening now

4) According to Femi Aribisala, "Mr President did not just send the budget to the National Assembly, he presented it himself with great fanfare and bells and whistles. This was supposed to be his signature proposal"

5) Does it mean Mr President does not read documents before signing them? And who knows what he has been signing on behalf of Nigeria in his numerous foreign trips. Hence, we may just wake up one day and hear that Nigeria has been sold.

Therefore my TAKE(Hard and Tough):

1. President Buhari should immediately admit his failure and apologise to Nigerians ASAP, instead of trying to play the Hero by the SACK, SACK & SACK...and he's still sacking...; failure to do so would mean a total disregard to the interest and feelings of the over 170 million Nigerians who he claim to represent.

OR

2. Tender his RESIGNATION like it's done in more saner climes [VERY HARD AND TOUGH]

OR

3. If the aforementioned options fail, the National Assembly should do the needful and commence impeachment proceedings against the President [HARDER & TOUGHER]

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!!

Feel free to comment and share until it gets to Mr President and the Senators.
