Nigerians more especially the southerners should forget about decentralized security architecture which is integral part of restructuring governance and the lopsided federation because the president in his watery inaugural address clearly avoided the long awaited Restructuring of the lopsided federation to reinvent true fiscal federalism and more importantly, decentralized security architecture which remains the only panacea for security in Nigeria.
Of course, well-meaning Nigerians are not taken aback since Tinubu during his election campaign had pointedly said that his administration would be a continuation of the disastrous eight years of the best-forgotten Buhari administration.
How disappointing Nigerians were yesterday! But realistic minded Nigerians knew that Tinubu never had any credible vision for NIgeria except the selfish quest to be referred to as former president of Nigeria. A once fiery advocate of Restructuring the lopsided federation with restored fiscal federalism had, due to blind quest to be president, brazenly jettisoned the noble aspirations of the southerners to be free from the vice grip of the “Caliphate Colonialists and Cabalist hegemonists ” who stridently kicked against Restructuring the lopsided federation since it would stop the Islamisation agenda.
Tinubu’s promise to equip the security agencies especially the police with supposed training and retraining, is saddening because equipping the police without multi level policing as obtained in sane and sanitized federations, is complete rubbish. Of course the Caliphate Colonialists were laughing yesterday because their deal with him had been “signed, sealed, and delivered”, courtesy of a US blind singer.
But NIgerians should not be down-cast as the Triune God will not neglect the prayers of the traumatized Nigerians who abhor transactional leadership arrangements of the cabal that laid the country and its economy prostrate. The Living God will touch the Presidential Election Tribunal judges to decipher the truth about the “most disastrous presidential election in the history of Nigeria”.
