Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s Independence Day speech as “divisive and uninspiring.”
Ezekwesili, who
made the remark while faulting the President’s speech stressed that Buhari
should have given a leadership speech. The
former Minister maintained that those who “lie” to the President that he was
doing well in nation building were unfair to him. In a series of tweets on her
social media handle, the former Minister said, “Those who LIE to Mr President
that he is doing well in BUILDING a NATION are UNFAIR to him. The President
should take INDEPENDENT FEEDBACK;
“For e.g. as
Candidate, Pres @MBuhari spoke often about our Internally Displaced People-
IDPs. Why has he NEVER CONSIDERED a VISIT to them? “Since he became OUR
President in 2015, we have not seen much of that LEVERAGE of “the personality
of the President” to MOBILIZE & UNITE. “A Presidential system makes much of
the “personality” of a President & how they LEVERAGE it to mobilize,
inspire & influence their citizens. “Now that our President’s health is
vastly improved -thank God- he should do more DOMESTIC TRAVELS to CONNECT with
ALL HIS CITIZENS.
“LEADER of a country
BELONGS TO ALL. There is a HIGH PEDESTAL of a LEADER that is BEST DEPLOYED FOR
BUILDING ALL. NEVER DIVIDE YOUR PEOPLE; “I
am definitely one of those delighted to see that our President @MBuhari visited
our @HQNigerianArmy soldiers @ the frontline of battle.
“So I read OUR President @MBuhari ‘s #NigeriaAt57 Speech and wondered how OUR
Leader could be so DIVISIVE & UNINSPIRING on a DAY LIKE THAT. “As one who
need not wave my #IAmAProudNigerian banner on the faces of HONEST people, I
wish Pres @MBuhari had GIVEN A LEADER’S SPEECH.
