Sani Al’ameen
By Akanji Alowolodu, Bauchi
President Muhammadu Buhari and the 36 States Governors in the country have been charged to rather use the remainder of their days in office to do better things for Nigerians rather than engaging in blame game over the issue of local government funds.
The feuding parties were also advised to rather set in motion, a political will that will address the problems bedeviling the country.
The advice was given by a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State, Alhaji Muhammad Sani Al’ameen who aspired for the gubernatorial ticket of the party in the last primary election.
Sani Al’ameen was reacting to the ongoing trade blaming while interacting with Journalists in Bauchi on Monday saying that “the major problems bedeviling the country include abject poverty, insecurity, high cost of living, and bad governance”.
The politician also said that all the present crop of leaders have failed the citizens by not been able to meet with the yearnings and aspirations of the electorate that voted them into power thereby leaving the people crying in difficult situations in all aspects of living.
He stressed that, “the inability of the leaders to make judicious use of the resources at their disposal to improve the living standards of a common man led to the rising level of poverty among Nigerians which was a consequence of the biting effect of insecurity on commercial and agricultural activities”.
Sani Al’ameen said that “the President is the chief security officer of the country, while the governors as chief security officers of their states failed in the area of providing adequate security and public safety , which is the primary duty of any government that is to ensure the security of lives and property, without which no sensible human activity takes place”.
According to him, “But governments at all levels are unable to fulfil this covenant with the people, thus allowing bandits, insurgents, and kidnappers to turn the country into a killing field, maiming and abducting people, in schools market squares and even on their farmlands all over the country.”
“Under the current administration, the NNPC, failed to remit statutory allocations to states in several months, even monies budgeted for such federal ministries like agriculture, rural development, and humanitarian affairs, are not being deployed in the direction of the people, on many occasions the people at the helm of affairs of these ministries were accused of diverting the money, through alleged dubious ways and corruption, but the executives where silent they didn’t investigate the allegations they allow them to To continue inoffice, ” he added.
He said that” it is high time when we should emulate leaders of the world who when they see they are failing they resigned in the best interest of the country”.
Sani Al’ameen also said that presently, the country is sinking and the leaders should summon courage to do all they could to provide credible leadership that will rescue the country from sinking instead of the blame games against each other.
He advised the leaders to provide exemplary leadership that will ease the hostile environmental where common man is the only one feeling the heat always, and address the challenges bedeviled the country.
The Politician prayed for the Peaceful conduct of the 2023 General elections and appeal to President Buhari to fulfill his promise of conducting credible free and fair elections as the very important legacy he will left for the country.
He said that the President must ensure the autonomy of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC and must provide adequate security to ensure peaceful 2023 elections in the country.
