Mr President, Its time To Act.. By Adesina Oluwaseun

I mean no harm or trying to libel any personality by writing this piece but I'm writing as a young Nigerian who is hungry and thirsty for change. It is more than a month now since the president was sworn into office with his vice president and much have not been heard or seen from the president as a change in action that the Nigerian masses voted for.

Mr President this is not the best time to give excuses but time to confidently act as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because each week has continually generated excuses from your personality in dashing the hopes and aspiration of Nigerians from enjoying the numerous benefits your personality and your party (the All Progressive Congress) promised the Nigerian masses.

Regardless of your age, ethnic, and religion, Nigerian voted E-mass to elect your personality as the President. Sir, governance is about service delivery and not a drama full of suspense. In the last four months (March-June), our economy has been on standstill with a dollar changing for two hundred and twenty five Naira and it is not good for our economy.

Sir, virtually on a daily basis from June, there has been a continuous bombing majorly in the north-east with the lost of lives. The national assembly has been let loose with the constitent embarrassment of the national integrity of the Nation in the international world. Sir, considering your vast experience in leadership as a former military head of state and a three time presidential aspirants, one would be convinced that you should have gotten the necessary manpower that will help in carrying out your vision within the country and outside the sphere of Nigeria for the absolute change Nigeria has been yearning for.

Sir, the continuous delay in announcing your prospective ministers and other key political appointee's will affect the employment of youth, deprived the masses the dividends of democracy, service delivery to the masses and above all might contribute to the backwardness in the economic and development of the Nation. Your ministers and other political appointees are your field soldiers who are there to reason, brainstorm, and also advise you on innovative idea's that will help shape the economy right towards the change Nigerians are expecting.

May I quickly remind you sir, time flies and wait for no man. This is not the time to crucify or lay accusing fingers on your predecessor or anyone but a time to wake up from your slumber and act in bringing the desired change to the masses. The unemployed youth are waiting to be employed as you have promised to employ seventy two thousand youth in your first 100 days in office. The Primary and secondary school students are waiting to eat the free meal a day in school as you promised them. The youth corper who just passed-out are asking how they will get the stipends to sustain them pending the time they will be gainfully employed.

The displaced and vulnerable are asking when will they start collecting their five thousand (#5,000) social security entitlement as a Nigerian and above all Nigerians are asking when will they start enjoying 24hrs uninterrupted power supply? Sir, this and many more are what Nigerians are in a haste to benefit from your tenure.

Mr President, arise from your slumbering bed and act in giving Nigerians a hope for a brighter future.
