Opinion: Niger governor and his sleeping cabinets

Umar Yunusa

A government that came to power by deceit has nothing to offer its subject expect for sick-fascinated indexes manouvered during the electioneering processes and after.

“One good turn deserves another,” they say. But otherwise is the case of Nigerlites from 2015-2019. The fairy tales of Niger State civil servants is another episode out of hundreds of thousands disheartening narrations. 

Funny enough, cups of cereals, soon erased the hard memories of our people, while their rights were swapped with today’s situation. We can all relate. Isn’t it? 

Whatever, let’s hug the change, it’s changing things from the right to…, depending on where you are standing; you can complete the phrase.

No doubt, posterity shall remain unfavorable to the nook and cranny of this administration. They shall be chronicled for the injury done to the system, ranging from education, security, impoverished infrastructural feet, staff remuneration, power supply to a host of others. Let’s all enjoy Sani Bello’s “tragic” government, for majorly all we saw him do to leadership for the second term tenure. Indeed, “One … turn, deserves another”.

For the mouthful youths hailing him, calling him “Roadmaster”, I’ll love it if you can mention a few of these roads he has successfully executed – let data speak!

BM Zdukogi in his recent nugget, submits that: “Hailing is a virus to the politicians, while wailing is the cure.” Keep hailing your boss, for that you’re paid for, but the likes of us will keep reminding him of the mandate given to him.

With all the deducted percentages from workers’ salaries, there is nothing feasible the government has shown to us, I hope we are relating! 

The term of governor’s office is normally four years but it can be terminated by State House of Assembly. This, we (Nigerlite) expect soon in order to curb banditry, poor welfarism, extortion of teachers to mention but a few. 

Dismissal of governors without valid reason is not permitted but above reasons have proved his incompetence in governance.
