I do not know Ms. Hadiza Usman in person. She rose to national prominence through her Bring Back Our Girls advocay which many Nigerians appreciates. What I cannot understand is why people are expressing consternation over her appointment as the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
Let’s stop deluding ourselves. President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has been audaciously hijacked by powerful and selfish individuals. All past governments in this country had some form of cabal that greatly dictated the affairs of state. But President Buhari’s own cabal seems to be the most brutish and insensitive in the history of our country.
What we are witnessing is only a tip of the iceberg. Ms. Hadiza is just another protege of the Buhari’s cabal. The raging arguments about her qualifications and experience are otiose. What is clear is clear. If qualifications and experience were the basis for appointments, Hadiza and several others would not be beneficiaries of senior presidential cum executive appointments.
Certainly not as the head of a sensitive agency like the NPA.
As a Nigerian, I am greatly saddened by the turn of events. Anybody that underrates the influence of Governor Nasir El-Rufai in Buhari’s government is living in self-denial. The governor’s office offers El-Rufai an alibi to evade public scrutiny of his deep involvement in the politics and power play in Aso Rock.
The type of cronyism, favouritism and nepotism that is going on in this administration is most unfortunate, distasteful and scandalous. Those talking about merits and competence are not being sincere.
It is time we moderate our expectations from this government. Lest we forget, we only voted for change and not a revolution.
