Chairman of the Presidential
Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Itse Sagay, has said that
President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term will be similar to that of 1984.
Sagay said this is because
Nigerians are suffering from gross indiscipline from the ruling elites.
Sagay, a senior lawyer, said this
when he fielded questions from Independent newspapers at the weekend.
He said, “It is not that I have
consulted him but I believe that his second coming will see a firmer, stronger
type of leadership, a bit closer to what he was in 1984.
“I think that is what Nigerians
should expect because this country is suffering from gross indiscipline of the
ruling elites. We have seen a whole lot of impunity in the system.
“We have seen a whole Senate
being closed down because one of them is going to a Tribunal before which he is
charged. That to me is gross indiscipline.
“You do not stop the whole
process of legislation just to show solidarity with a person charged to court
and to intimidate the court.
“That is gross indiscipline and
it is unacceptable. We have other things like that in other sectors. It is
indiscipline for a group of judges to give a judgment that no matter what crime
they commit, they cannot be tried unless the National Judicial Council (NJC)
gives the go-ahead through the institutions created by the constitution to
fight crime and prosecute those charged with crimes. That is indiscipline.
“So, we have a situation in this
country where everybody is doing whatever he likes. Very soon, you will find
the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) prescribing that if they commit any offence,
they should be brought before the NBA Disciplinary panel before they can be
charged by the police. Various professions that have disciplinary panels can
bring that in.
“Even the policeman can say
before you can charge me for bribery or any other offence, let the Police
Service Commission (PSC) decide. That is chaos and anarchy. So, I think all
these things will be brought under control in his second coming.
“Also by then, we would have
started feeling the benefit of the groundwork they are doing now and life will
be better for Nigerians. We will begin to appreciate the government more for
how they have been able transform the country. Nigerians have short memory.
“They have forgotten that this
country was wrecked and ran aground by the PDP. They have forgotten that the
PDP government looted everything that was available and left an empty treasury
at a time when money that was coming in was limited by cost of barrel of oil
and reduction in production.
“So, this government has gone
through extreme difficulty to keep Nigeria afloat. However, that era is coming
to an end and an era of prosperity is coming. So, one is really looking forward
to the second term of Buhari and Osinbajo.”

Which government are you talking about, Sagay. Are you talking about this colossal failure of a government or another one? You are one of the enemies of this country to even wish Nigerians this kind of affliction for the second time. Go look for another job now else, you will be jobless come 2019. This afflictions(Buhari government brought)will not rise again for the second time.
