The most angry Nigerians are the elites. Let truth be told. The President is doing the hard work. The entire architecture of corruption subsidies that have benefitted the rich at the expense of social services that would otherwise have accrued to the masses are being taken down.
They once used to leverage the existence of these subsidies to blackmail the president during his re-election, that he was not reformist and unserious about “change” or reforms. @MBuhari wisely ignored them. Built a foundation of trust then moved in the second term to dismantle
The next serious step now is to focus on public service reforms. The elite now saying “reducing the cost of government” when the Orosanye report is implemented will also be the one crying the most by the way when their “evil “service wing is being h deactivated- just watch.
We know how this works. Their new favorite “recommendation” is just another blackmail.
Reducing the cost of governance will require

1. Cutting down the size of the public sector, which will temporarily increase unemployment

2. Reducing the spending by the political class like National Assembly which will lead to initial contraction of public spending...
and consequential lack of contracts or dash for the elites

3. Reduction of the number of aides, vehicle used, paparazzi of governance. All austerity will lead to tighter wallet and more elite pain

Are the elites asking for this, ready? Lets be sincere
A wise leader once said, ”Your popularity as a leader is not like a picture frame you hang on the wall and admire. You use it. You use your credibility to do hard reforms”

Let them bring it on. @MBuhari will utterly dismantle their craze on the battlefield of electoral politics
Mr. President has signalled he is serious about identity management reforms with the appointment of the likes of @DrJoeAbah to lead it technically. Public Sector reforms should be next in our sequence of hard reforms! link.medium.com/A8VkXAn2z9
Lets give the hell Mr. P. The work of change is a slow, painful one. But we must do it for the sake of our children, grand children and great grand children because we hope to stick around for a while. God bless Nigeria.
