Even though it was a military regime of the 80’s, the word CABALS was never in the minds of Mr Buhari/late Tunde Idiagbon’s system of government, perhaps they were young and felt the pains the ordinary people of Nigeria were passing through then, which made them to act decisively to bring sanity in Nigeria as at that time but unfortunately the spoiler general Ibrahim Babangida drove them out of office and came with a hopeless agenda which never worked for the country (Nigeria). That is the bitterness of what the people of Nigeria are facing till today because those who honestly came to work for the people of Nigeria were removed by general Ibrahim Babangida. In the 80’s, some people in Nigeria called President Buhari/late Tunde Idiagbon’s regime ruthless but in real sense, it was a great regime. They were young and brave soldiers who came to fix the country (Nigeria) which late President Shehu Shagari and his government almost destroyed. What Nigerians have now starting from ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo’s government concerning corruption and lack of good governance is almost the same with that of late President Shehu Shagari’s government of the 80’s which was why President Buhari drove them out of office. Back then, it was justified and quite appreciated by majority of Nigerians. Look at the constituency money given to those at the national assembly to put things right in their various constituencies, almost all the money have gone into their pockets. Look at the governors in Nigeria today, they receive billions of Naira on monthly basis as allocation from the federal government of Nigeria, still workers salaries and pensioners allowances in their various states can not be paid. Corruption from left and right is hitting the country (Nigeria) and Nigerians seem not to be bothered about it, instead they support those politicians looting the treasury of Nigeria which is bad. Look at unemployment in Nigeria which has reached an alarming stage, if you do not know those at the top level, no job would be given to you no matter your qualification which is bad. Look at issues of security which is almost at a zero point and many others, the government has no clue on how to fix it and bring sanity to Nigeria. Today the word “CABAL” is being used by Nigerians to refer to a few group of individuals leading the country (Nigeria) and if you are not in their good books, you will remain stand still. These were what President Buhari/late Tunde Idiagbon fought for and won in the 80’s, even though they did not stay too long in office but now the present government under the leadership of President Buhari who we (Viewers Corner News team) thought would have used his experience of the 80’s to bring Nigerian politicians who almost destroyed the country (Nigeria) to book has not achieved much especially in the areas of corruption, instead those with less offences are being pursued while those corrupt ones are moving very freely in the country (Nigeria). Again, we (Viewers Corner News team) are appealing to President Buhari to go back to the drawing table and re-examine where things went wrong and find solution to it. In the past, we (Viewers Corner News team) know President Buhari as a man with zero tolerance on corruption and wasteful spending of resources but today people very close to him and those in his government are believed by majority of Nigerians to be very corrupt and nothing is being done to bring them to book. We (Viewers Corner News team) would like to see more corrupt politicians in Nigeria being put into prison for the pains they caused the people of Nigeria by looting the treasury of the country (Nigeria).
