Vanguard (Lagos)

Apparently worried by the general anxiety over the health of President Umaru Yar'Adua, the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) said yesterday that the President "is as fit as a fiddle." to continue to rule the country.

What do you expect from ACF? What they failed to realize is that it is not only Yar's poor health that Nigerians are concerned about but also his mental acumen. Tarry-A-Doer is yet to display any wisdom necessary to transform this country. Most importantly, he lacks vision or the foresight needed to anticipate problems b4 they occur and a well thought out and articulated plan required for solving the problem. It is disheartening to realize that 8 Northerners have ruled Nigeria out of the 10 rulers we've had so far, during which Nigeria's polity and economy has been brought to ruination with the exception of a period between 1976 thru 1979 and between 1999 thru 2007 (the miracle years when ACF rulers were not in charge). Go figure.
