Former minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili, in series of tweets has reacted to the recent challenges rocking Nigeria.
Ezekwesili in her tweet questioned President Buhari’s competence in handling the state of affairs of the country.
Lamenting on the need to urgently tackle challenges rocking the country, Ezekwesili pointed out that the Nigerian constitution has no provision for Imperial Presidency.

She tweeted;
Buhari shows no sense of urgency in tackling the numerous governance challenges that keep multiplying? Do we at all have a President in office these days? This is a legitimate question that should be answered by Aso Rock.
How can a Government be so oblivious of the temperature of the country it is supposedly ‘governing. Let’s say Aso Rock says we do have a President, can they please let him know that our Constitution has no provision for Imperial Presidency?
He is not a king. This country is neither being led nor governed right now. It is more than obvious that “Becoming President” was the one and only Outcome for Buhari. Or what explains the fact that he seldom shows any sense of urgency to tackling the numerous governance challenges that keep multiplying?
Bear the title, Nigeria President for nothing? The so-called resilience of Nigerians is getting closer to its expiry date. Grinding poverty is all over the land and desperate daily messages for help by citizens keep growing while Aso Rock pretends to itself that “things are normal”. Only in your cocoon are things normal.
Listening to a desperate Citizen threaten suicide because “he is tired of it all and cannot see anyway forward” makes one extremely angry at the lackadaisical attitude of this FG to insecurity and poverty. Citizens need the fiercest urgency, Buhari in governance now.”
Do we at all have a President in office these days?

The biggest problem with Oby Ezekwesili is that she is very rude and full of herself. Those were the traits she displayed at her so-called “Due Process” office under President Olusegun Obasanjo and later as Minister of Education. She talks down on people believing that with probably her PhD she knows better than everybody. It is little wonder that her sojourn into politics to contest for the 2019 presidency with President Muhammadu Buhari met a brickwall as her party men deserted her and accused her of financial malfeasance. She must learn to respect people even while she makes public her opinion on national issues.
What we need in this nation now is divine intervention of God Almighty and certainly not accusation Mama the situation is beyond human understanding but not beyond God’s understanding let us all pray and it shall be well with his nation in Jesus name

We congratulate Oby Ezekwesili for her courage to speak up. Nigeria became a mess since May 29th 2015. It is reminiscent of the days of Idi Amim in Uganda. We need Philosopher leaders not illiterate rulers.
