THE ERA OF APC; THE ERA OF CHANGE
NERC refusal to revert the electricity tariff, despite being mandated by the house of senate (the Red Chamber) to do so is raising a lot of questions, as who should give and take orders. This is just a show of who is more powerful, the legislature or the executive? This clandestine but vocal tussle of supremacy between these political gladiators, is at the detriment of the poor masses, this should be the least of the worries of the hungry masses. Without mincing words APC is failing this country by the ticking of time. Nigerians can't wait till 2019 to show this clueless, visionless and missionless, administration the way out. All we hear is, "we are waging war against corruption" yet no single soul has been prosecuted after agonising 9months in office. The question that is begging for answer is: who is fooling who?
Why must the Minister of Power (Babatunde Raji Fashola) increase electricity tariff when power generation and distribution are at their lowest ebb? More so, at a time when there is alarming rate of hardship, Poverty, hunger, starvation, mass retrenchment, unemployment, insecurity, inflation worst of all economic recession.
The present economic hardship is enough to make a father deny his title, father.
A breakdown of the astronomical increase in the price of food items in the last 6 months:
A bag of rice is sold for #12000; previously sold at #7,400; 5litres of vegetable oil is sold for,#2000 previously sold at #1,200, palm oil 5dlitres is sold for #1800; previously sold at #1100, while beans a "derica" is sold for 200 as against #120; Tomatoes small basket #1850, previously sold for #1440, Pepper one basket(small) #1200, previously, #650, Onions, Gari one bag #5000, previously, #2800. Fish, Beef, Chickens, one Caton #7500 before #5600, Turkey one Caton #9000 previously #6500; a sachet water now #10,which was previously sold at #5,also house rents; Toiletries, have all astronomically increased owing to the fall of Naira, with its remote cause on the fall of oil price.
It's a direct factual statement that this economic recession didn't just start overnight, its largely caused by the fall of oil price in the global markets and the recklessness of the previous administration, but, as a government that is not aloof of the economic realities of the country, also as a new administration coming on board with the mantra of "change" what palliative did it put in place to forestall this economic catastrophe? What measure did it put in place to arrest the negative trend? What innovations did the Buhari led administration put in place to prevent the country from being where it is?
The question is, What economic innovation has this government brought in that dissimilar from the previous administration?
The price of goods have skyrocketed but the minimum wage has remained the same while some governors are calling for the reduction of the #18000 minimum wage.
The president should heed to the advice of Prof. Wole Soyinka who advised the him to immediately call for an economic Confap. Where economic experts will nip this economic recession on board and proffer solution to this economic gridlock. Calling an Economic Confap should be the utmost priority of this government.
Lastly, the central bank Governor should be shown the exit door as he look, sound and ooze auras of cluelessness.
