"The Nigerian president's only formula for tackling serious crises is, one, to issue a hollow speech or, two, to form a committee. With either approach, the goal is to buy time for people to forget how messy the particular problem was. "
Perhaps this writer is unaware of the governments struggle with Boko Haram and the crisis in Jos, among other challenges.
This is the kind of criticism that Soyinka once called 'disco criticism', compulsive criticism.
Out of the entire history of the Jonathan Presidency, this is the best summation this writer can arrive at, a summation that is a lie?
Terrible.
