Tenure Extension; a diversionary technique?

Mr. Wazobia got home late one Friday night tired and hungry. He was met by his wife with a warm embrace. He quickly settled down, took a shower and his seat at the dinning. His wife joined him at the table and started chatting away about what food she will prepare for Saturday night dinner.

Wazobia managed to keep pace with his wife thinking food was on fire and almost ready. After an hour of gist, he asked his wife about dinner. She responded that she would set a committee up comprising the 3 children to decide what to eat so that they can go ahead to buy the food stuff and commence cooking preparation to cook it. Haba!

If Mrs Wazobia is your wife what will your reaction be?. Disgusted? Awed? Sad or bitter?Well permit me to liken “Gudluk Jona” to Mrs Wazobia. He has as abandoned pressing issues of poor infrastructure, electricity and energy crisis for a problem or solution that may not be required until 2015.

Who told him we are complaining about duration of tenure? I would rather prefer a life president who provides all basic amenities than a single-tenured president without tangible achievement. Those who voted him to power most likely wanted him to face the pressing issues on ground. I make bold to say that it does not matter how long tenure is but how well it was spent.

Something tells me that tenure extension is a gimmick to get “Naija” citizens to shift attention from Boko Haram issues and poor infrastructure.

What a mighty mindset he has.
