Default Re: The President`s `missing ears`



I totally support UMYA for restoring decorum at Aso Rock. The place has had some quiet and dignity in recent times and I believe that this is good for the country. What remains is for UMYA to translate that peace and decorum to the entire country just as he did in Katsina State. For power we need less megawatts in the pages of newspapers and more light in peoples homes.
I believe that we will get there once the legal obstacles I believe earlier mentioned by Nwanza are overcome. Give it to the Fulani man to be cool, calm and calculating. Behind that veneer of Umar go slow is a powerful man who understands the calculus of power. It is not by being theatrical, flamboyant, garroulous and generating heat in the polity that good govenance is done.
Yes I agree he needs to build his own team of eminient Nigerians to tackle the challenges which have been identified. But Nigeria is a complex state and it is better to waltz through the minefields of governance than to do hip pop dance around them like the former regime to the detriment of the whole polity.
Some go slow are surely needed at these times. UMYA should continue to make haste but less speed.
