Pol Nigerians have continued to ask a very important question with no answer-Do the people's representatives at the Federal and State levels know how appropriated funds have been spent in the last five years?
The expectations of the people revolve around the pursuance of development at all levels of governance with vigor, but sadly, the contrary is the case.
As the ''Elected'' remain in the saddle, the groaning of the people is increasingly becoming very loud.
Those elected and appointed continue to intensify efforts to work for their pockets, even as mum is the word from all arms of government, in the face of corruption and insecurity.
The insinuation is that the government is propaganda that is designed to achieve nothing.
Praise singers, sycophants, and hangers-on have now taken over the public space, while the beneficiaries of the massive misappropriation only condemn the anti-people policies of the government in closed doors and hushed tones.
The vile state of mind of the ''Elected'' has influenced them to do the unthinkable in recent times.
Every institution established to ensure law and order, fester in corruption. The law enforcement agencies, the civil service, the Judiciary, and educational institutions stink.
The absence of an edifying ideology and clear vision of an ideal and inspiring leadership coupled with their self-serving attitude, greed, banality, and propensity for anarchy has not helped matters.
The ''Elected' rule by fear while the helpless massed suffer. Yet the process to borrow N815 billion from unclaimed dividends and dormant accounts of distraught Nigerians is on.
Evil reigns to the extent the ''Elected'' harness the beliefs and superstitions of the population to acquire greater power over them. These are indeed perilous times.
