I believe this is an excellent observation. There are high ranking and influential people on this forum. Can they put together some sound and wise counsels like this one and find a way to get it to the president-elect?
My hope and prayer is that every Nigerian supports the new government to initiate some changes that can start to put Nigeria on the fast track of genuine development.
We cannot afford to ignore the fact that either way, if Nigeria is going to move forward Nigerians have to work together. We cannot deny the difference in the country, but we should channel our energy to looking for common grounds. It maybe difficult but we cannot afford to ignore that.

What in many respects makes this easy, is the amazing grace that the outgoing president has demonstrated. No matter what anyone thought of him before, he deserves admiration and commendation.

--President-elect Buhari's focus will be more on the central government in Abuja rather than in the State and local governments, and this will initiate his failures. If the Village Assemblies, Town Councils and State Legislatures are dysfunctional, the "efficiency" of the federal government will not affect the millions of Nigerians. Buhari's primary concentration should be on reinforcing the Judiciary, the Legislative and the press but also ensuring that the opposition remains very viable. I hope his administration is not similar to those of President Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello and co.We are watching.William BanguraPan-Africanist
