"THE CHANGE THAT NIGERIANS VOTED FOR IS UNDER SERIOUS ASSAULT"

Nigerians from all the walks of life voted for a change of government, a new vision and direction for their beloved country of Nigeria on March 28, 2015. Muhammadu Buhari was elected by the majority of the Nigerian voters because of his track record and for his promise to end Boko Haram insurgency, national insecurity as well as the menace of the official corruption and the state resource mismanagement in the governance of Nigeria that have now resulted in the worst economic crisis that Nigerians last saw in the 1980s under the then President Shehu Shagari.

The opposition party, the APC that won the presidential election was made up of the conventional opposition politicians that have fought the PDP since the beginning of this political dispensation in 1999 and the disgruntled politicians that left the PDP for the APC. These politicians with different political agendas, goals and visions for Nigeria worked together and against the PDP, their common enemy at that time. Now that the common enemy was defeated, there is nothing again that these politicians have in common today except the ongoing internal fight to control the legislative arm of the government between the agents of change and the anti-change agents.

The battle for the control of the leadership of the two chambers of the national assembly will eventually determine the outcome of this change agenda that Nigerians voted for and the legacies of the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari. A divided house will not stand. Political change and progress can never happen in the midst of conflict and power tussle within the leadership of the same governing political party. The APC as it stands today is not driven by any political ideologies, but by personalities, politics of ethnicity, geopolitical zone and self-interest.
President Muhammadu Buhari
