President Buhari Represents New Awo For Nigeria's Liberation
The late
Chief Obafemi Awolowo
and President Muhammadu
Buhari might have
lived at different times but, like identical twins, possess
many things in common-dynamism,
pragmatism, integrity, self- discipline,
vision and passion-to make Nigeria work. The
impeccable past of these tested leaders has proved that the bane of the country’s slow
development since independence has been lack
of purposeful leadership.

the reluctant leaders
who had been imposed on
us, Awolowo and Buhari,
both armed with impeccable records of performance, the former as Premier
of the old Western Region as well as
Vice Chairman of the Federal Executive
Council in the regime of Gen. Yakubu
Gowon, and the latter, as a
military Head of State, etc, adequately prepared for the leadership of Nigeria. Three times were each
unsuccessful- Awolowo in 1959, 1979,
1983 and
President Buhari in 2003, 2007
and 20011.

The official
visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Cameroun to discuss joint efforts to
curb Boko Haram in the region has thrown up an indictment of former President
Goodluck Jonathan.
A very credible
Presidency source told Daily Sun that in the anti-terror war, Jonathan did not
do much in forming a synergy with leaders of Nigeria’s neighbouring countries.
The source said
during Buhari’s interaction with his Camerounian counterpart, Paul Biya, he
disclosed that Jonathan isolated himself from the leaders of Cameroun, Chad and
Niger. “The major complaint, according to Biya, is that Jonathan never or
seldom, at best, picked his calls. He said most times he called, Jonathan
neither picked nor returned his calls. And as a result, the integration of
efforts that should have stopped Boko Haram’s foray and unchallenged run was
lacking.”
