We Voted Buhari The Dictator Because We Needed It Tough On Polithiefcians

It appears the boys in the Senate are out to rubbish Baba. They were afraid at the initial time because of the Baba of the old. But now that they know that Baba wants to be seen as a Democrat, they are out to use Constitutional loopholes to trap him.
Unfortunately for Baba he is looking at democracy only from the American mirror, he is yet to understand that democracies come in phases, shades and forms. For a DEMOCRACY like ours, it is still a growing one. With the kind of military experience we had over the years and the criminal tendencies of average Nigerian Politicians, we need a civilian dictatorship driven by a man of integrity with love for country until such a time when everybody have been beaten into shape as it happened in Singapore.
We are not yet ready for the kind of democracy that Baba is practicing. We need speed. There is need to cut a lot bureaucracratic tapes and get things in shape quickly. We are making a lot of excuses with democracy. Ours has to be modeled to suit our needs.
Unfortunately we knew Baba was a tough man before we voted him in. Now If Baba cannot take tough stands, especially against some rascally governors, Ministers, civil servants, judges and criminal junta senators, as Obasanjo did, then the critical reason for bringing him to power is lost.
Imagine how the Senate denied him the opportunity to borrow money to get the economy out of recession. They are seating on a bill that is supposed to speed up war against corruption. They are refusing to open their books and budget for scrutiny and many of them are people who are either running from Justice or are drawing us back from justice.
Why can't we have a civilian dictatorship?
We may complain about tough stands in the beginning but in the end it will pay. Although we should encourage diplomacy and the rule of law but there should be no banters with criminals and those who insist on making the country ungovernable and those who think only about their selfish interest.
With what the way the Senate is playing with Baba, it will be difficult to achieve anything of note or to move speedily. Baba should go to the trenches with these pedestrian Senate and rescue his administration from delays. Some Senators who are supposed to be in jail have highjacked the legislature and are using it to manipulate the system. Baba must bring people like Asiwaju Bola Tinubu closer and make his executive be up and doing. The Senate is making Baba look weak.
I am angry.
