THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND THE WAILING CHANGE

My sickness is not caused by fever nor malaria but by the way and manner the change been clamoured for is now wailing for freedom in the hands of the people whom we entrusted to be the crop of savior. with intense happiness, Nigerians celebrated the emergence of the new era led by president Muhammadu Buhari with the hope and relaxed mind to dry the tears of the poor masses and render social amenities like good roads,electricity, health and employment opportunity to aid even and rapid development and perhaps revive the sectors jeopardized by corruption.

    To be frank, it is too early to predict the future of this new government and at the same time, it is too early for the new government to have recorded any brawl and skirmish at the national assembly. Is this the type of change we want in Nigeria? It is pitiable that the ship of change is yet to move and it has started to develop faults. This country had suffered a lot in the hands of the corrupt leaders who had exploited and looted the country's fund and the evil tide seems to go on exile with the emergence of the new president who had once ruled the country during the military regime but ironically, the transformation agenda is being transformed to another dimension as the national assembly witnessed her first annual conflict since the emergence of the new president. I don't ever think this kind of irritable kerfuffle could happened so early at the national assembly in president Muhammadu Buhari's tenure as i recorded my first disappointment in his tenure and moreso, i keep asking myself  why serving people should lead to conflict.

   It was very obvious that a line quoted  from the national pledge " To serve our father land" has turned to fighting and tearing clothes for pocket right. The leaders that were elected to lead by example are now disgracing and embarrassing the country and marring the already marred reputation of Nigeria political system. I think Mr president is like a sheep amidst wolves. When will Nigerians are going to bade farewell to looters as leaders? When are we going to be free from nefarious grandeur? If the slew of immoral act by the so call leaders stand still without resolution, the sailor is verily embarking on a fruitless journey that can never change anything despite the great expectation on him to move the sunk ship closer to the promised land. Now over to the Mr President to act fast in delivering the wailing change from the wolfs before tearing it into pieces. God bless Nigeria.
