Allegation that President Buhari is seeking to Rule by emergency Powers-NLC others “Back him up”!

                       Beware of Ides of March!!!!!

They say that a dog that is about to die no longer perceive the smell of sheet! It is probably youths who were born after 1984 that do not know what Gen. Buhari was capable of doing with unlimited powers. For some of us that witnessed it firsthand; knew what the General is capable of doing with unlimited powers and for any one now to even think of further extension of powers of the President the person must have his head reexamined by good brain doctor. First the President is approaching 80 years it beats me why someone should be thinking of handing unlimited powers to a person at that age. Secondly apparent reasons, why the President is asking or is being proposed to have emergency powers is to deal with the economy. The question is this, if the President and his economic team do not know what to do with the economy then what new idea would he spring up when they give him emergency powers? I do not believe that the President is incapable of getting good brains within a hundred and sixty million population to thinker out a solid, workable economic blue print to see us out of recession but if that is the case then I think the President may consider throwing in the towel for someone else to try instead of seeking emergency powers. Based on his conduct as a military head of state; I personally think he is most likely to abuse the emergency powers even if it is necessary. I personally think that the price we all have to pay for a possible dictatorial rule far outweigh whatever marginal gain we might have by the exercise of emergency powers and as such I urge the national assembly even though I think is in a very weak position to reject absolutely the possible president’s request for emergency powers. It is even amusing that one of the organizations that “backs” the President is NLC which can best be described as a moribund union with multiple leadership out doing each other possibly to enrich themselves against the overall interest of the workers. In other words anything coming from the NLC as it is presently constituted should be disregarded because the leaderships are suspect whose music they are dancing! Finally I do not hope my  little write up is going to stop the powers that be to stop what they are planning but I am convinced when the lion is let loose both those that sing its praise and those that want it caged would be prey to the roaring lion! Be warned.
