TABLE 1: A Score-card of PMB at Six Months

 

S/N

Item

Date(s)

Remarks

Grade

Basis

What is there left to be done?

1

Ascension to Presidency by Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) and Vice-Presidency by Yemi Osibajo (VYO)

May 29, 2015

Preached “Change”, he “belong(s) to everybody and to nobody” in particular…..

A

Free-and-Fair election; Goodluck Jonathan handed over peacefully

Focus on mandate delivery in the next three-and-a-half years

2

Filled Various Administration Positions that don’t require Senate Approval (SGF, etc.)

Various dates

Criticisms of ethnic unfairness, etc.

A

Has a right to choose these officials; within his constitutional limits. 

“6,000” more positions yet to be filled…

3

Filled Ministerial positions (36 in 25 Ministries)

Various dates

Some portfolios were surprising, but all in all competent hands, but will they succeed in present positions? (see Table 2)

B+

Fashola, Fayemi, Ngige, Audu, Amaechi, Udo Udoma…these are proven performers…the taste of the pudding will be in the eating

Ensure that each minister and ministry fit into the three-point agenda of Security, Anti-Corruption and Employment, with growing an INCLUSIVE ECONOMY as the over-arching ambition, not just INDICIAL DEVELOPMENT

4

Security

Various

Chose physically-fit and performing Heads of Military service branches; offensive strategy; increased morale, equipment, intelligence and information.  Gave a target deadline for eliminating Boko Haram; degraded, but not fully yet

Regional and international collaboration on cross-border security matters

B+

Whole tracts of land have been recovered from BH, and many IDPs are returning to their homes.  However bombings continue – to be expected of insurgencies of this type

Pressing on with the offensive strategy

Looking out for security challenges elsewhere in the country (SE, SS), using lessons learnt in previous instances to stem further conflagration

Establish state and community policing in the shortest possible time

5

Anti-Corruption

Various

Initial focus on stemming corruption in Federal public service, in conjunction with its interface with the private sector (particularly oil and gas, as well as agriculture and insurance)

Enforcement of Treasury Single Action, Bank Verification Number (BVN) and the banning of payment of foreign currency (cash) into Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) inside Nigeria.

Re-energizing EFCC and ICPC, and going after loot recovery, both at home and abroad

A-

These are far reaching steps, that may not yield all fruits right away, but in time, I am absolutely confident that they will.

Asset Declaration by all public officials should be accessible to all registered  NGOs who have “right-to-know”

Amend Section 308 of Constitution to enable criminal prosecution of Executives at Federal, State and Local Government levels.

Institute absolute zero tolerance for bribery and corruption among (1)  the Police and (2) Judges…zero tolerance…even a hint of it.

6

Employment

Various

PMB has identified ECONOMY DIVERSIFICATION – in non-oil sectors such as solid minerals, agriculture, culture and tourism, infrastructure and service industries – as the key to increasing employment, both on the short run and the long-run

B

Our oil economy has tanked, unlikely to recover any time soon…..yet we still have oil than most countries in the workd, and also have 1 million square kilometers of fertile and God-endowed land, sea and air….Competent ministers have been placed to guide these vital sectors

I am looking forward to the 2016 BUDGET – it will give an indication of the true direction of PMB’s ECONOMIC POLICY.  I expect (1) removal of subsidy (2) conditional cash transfer (3) massive infrastructural development coupled with work corps (4) agricultural incentives with low-interest-rate loans, (5) a better balance between recurrent and capital expenditures (6) a quadrupling of the budget quantum etc.

Prof Aluko,
Things must getting very desperate in Otuoke --the land of 5 citizens and 5 crocodiles according to my brother Abba. 

Kilode paapaa? Hehehehe!

PMB gets an 'A' on the basis that we had a free and fair election in May, Jonathan peacefully handed over? Really? 

Na waoh for WAEC. 

It would seem you need some lessons on objective appraisals. You know the type that sets Specific Measurable and Time bound goals BEFORE and measures results against these objectives AFTER.  

A good starting point for your sunday lesson would be the Buharimeter maintained by the folks at BudgetiT et al


Did I hear you say thank you? You are welcome. My public service

Prof. Aluko needs his ratus and tatus. All these could be taken away by a little swing of the pendulum in the direction of uniotuoke.
Grading Pmb with such high marks is all about staying in the good books.

Aluko is a buffoon  activist.. He gave Employment a passing grade and identifies Economy diversification as a strategy to increase employment in the short term.  Short Term?   Come one.  You can't be that stupid!    How daft is that!   Can economic  diversification happen in the short term ?   Heck no!    This man is a total idiot! Idiot that is bent on misleading Nigerians!

No desperation whatsover...Otuoke has never been a "land of 5 citizens and 5 crocodoiles."   In fact, with 1,800 staff and 2,300 students, the once-sleepy town is bubbling with activity..... 

Abba is given to hyperbole, and you are given to rumor-mongering...  He should visit sometime, and you should visit again soon.......

You are welcome to judge PMB's ministries on 222 promises.  I judge PMB only on three promises - Security, Anti-Corruption and Employment.


By the way, please note that "Buharimeter" is an initiative of Center for Democracy and Development (Solids Mineral Minister Kayode Fayemi's is its 1997 founder, and importer into Nigeria in 1999 see http://ngmanifesto.org/about-cdd/), but sponsored by OSiWa, with BudgIt as a listed partner (and designer of the website).  So don't go saying as if it is a BudgIt initiative - it is not.



And there you have it.  Did I hear you deflate - a lesson in objectivity?

I give Buhari a pass grade of 110%, A+++ for globetrotting the universe and allowing Boko Haram to become the most killer terrorist organization on planet earth! 

Buhari has not visited 10 states and cities combined in Nigeria since he took office, but he has visited more than a dozen countries. Talk about priorities!

Ikhide:


You talk and write too much, and too loudly.....if I did not know you face to face, I would tear you to pieces with all this your loud-mouth-edness.

But I will spare you.......for old time sakes.

I advise you to set up your own parameters, and judge Buhari yourself......I won't criticize you for whatever grades you give him.  I have given mine, and no amount of literary terrorism - which is what you tend to be: a literary terrorist, despite all your attempts at democratic credentials.  Anybody who does not agree with you should maybe be - eliminated?

As to doing a doctorate under me at Howard or any where else, I would ask you a few questions, and if you shoot your mouth the way you often do around here, I would not even admit you.

And there you have it.  Behave yourself.

Bolaji,

This your grading system sha. Disappointing is not even a word I would begin to use. If you really believe these grades, if you are really this generous with grades, I fully regret not taking a doctorate in engineering from you at Howard. I would have earned 10 of them, By your standards.

Please do not share these grades on social media. You will suffer an extreme case of high tech lynching. The youngsters who helped propel that man into Aso Rock are really upset and are taking no prisoners. Buhari is being lampooned and ridiculed in ways that even I did not think possible. It is pretty bad.

With all due respect, these grades are inappropriate; they lower the bar for acceptable governance to an unsustainable low. And the are quite patronizing. To call Fashola and Amaechi, especially Amaechi "proven performers" seems insensitive to the outrage out there over their alleged looting of state resources. People are really angry. I know they have not been found guilty of anything. No one has since Obi Okonkwo was convicted in Achebe's No Longer at Ease. As you know that was fiction. Obasanjo is a holy man, Goodluck Jonathan is a saint, IBB is a statesman, the treasury simply emptied itself.

This is what you and I know, Buhari is an unmitigated disaster. It is time for good people like you to step forward and be productive. Suggest practical ways to get Nigeria out of the mess that those who engineered his rise got us into.  Once I go past your hagiography (a lead balloon by the way, guessing from the wooden response here) you have started something.  You have asked that he be judged on three areas: Security, Anti-Corruption and Employment. That is exactly what Buhari and the APC should be doing; focusing on a few measurable areas and securing quick wins. I would replace "Employment" with "Economy."

The focus on "anti-corruption" by Buhari as a means perhaps of funding a moribund economy is silly. This is where Nigeria has been failed with loud-mouthed, poorly educated social media overlords and some public intellectuals with zero idea about managing sophisticated systems. Even were we to recover funds from these alleged looters (Fashola, Amaechi, OBJ, GEJ, Diezeani. and co) these would be one-time funds that would only be useful for one-time expenditures like capital projects (razing down OAU hostels and building brand new ones so that children will not be doing 'shot putt' with faeces!). Nigeria needs funds that can be replicated every budget cycle, to pay her bills and revamp the economy. Buhari is quite frankly clueless and you should be alarmed.
 
Buhari needs to talk to our people. Come up with a plan, including a Marshall Plan by the way that hands him and Nigerians some quick wins and some long term sustainable gains. Right now, he has no idea what he is doing.

By the way, I did a survey on Twitter and on Facebook; 3 out of 4 respondents strongly believe that Buhari is leading us on the wrong path. Some of the comments are quite disrespectful of him. He has been demystified. This is what happens when you delete history from the classrooms, youngsters learn painfully.
