Nigeria Not Auto-Pilot, Buhari’s Supporters Tell Soyinka

There is no leadership vacuum in Nigeria as President Muhammadu Buhari is in charge, the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) said on Friday in response to Professor Wole Soyinka.

BMO described the Nobel laureate’s statement that no one is in charge in Nigeria as contrary to reality while inviting him to come to terms with a changing narrative of hope and possibilities for Nigerians arising from the policies and programmes of the Buhari administration.

In a statement signed by Niyi Akinsiju, the group’s Chairman, and Cassidy Madueke, its Secretary, the group cautioned that political leadership, especially under a democratic setting, goes beyond the whip-cracking, school headmaster model where the President bends over to micro-manage State Governors or leaders of other arms and institutions of government with a loud scolding voice to applause.

“President Muhammadu Buhari is fully in charge of affairs of the country and does not need to assert the obvious fact. He came to office with a patriotic vision to change Nigeria and appointed capable men and women into various offices to implement his policies and programmes.

“The President has a clear mandate from the Nigerian people to lead and that is what he has been doing by delegating power and authority to his appointees and interrogating their performance while partnering with Governors of the 36 States and leaders of the other arms of Government to secure the country and pursue his economic prosperity schemes.”
